Two women talking 313

"Two Women Living Together" is the story of courageous women who chose to live by inventing new molecular formulas rather than following the rules or "formulas" that Korean society forces us to memorize and follow.
While kicking back powerfully at a society that looks down on those who live differently, the energy of seeking new lives together and leaning on each other to grow further is seething.
At the same time, it is also a story about two people with very different lifestyles in many ways, such as maximalist and minimalist, extrovert and introvert, expulsive and avoidant, who come to understand and learn from each other after numerous 'battles'.
Two women and four fluffy cats live under one roof, learning about the lives of others and expanding their world.
Whenever they encounter the context of another person's life, they willingly correct their own rough edges and flaws, engage in conversations while understanding the other person's ways, and thereby grow.

Thus, since its first publication, this book has been called the 'Bible of Cohabitation' by those seeking and contemplating new forms of housing and cohabitation.
A story about how to realize myself through others and live together without losing myself.
To the young people of our time who suffer from anxiety due to the threats of such a tangible world, to the modern people who are constantly bombarded with the message that living as they please will lead to ruin, authors Kim Ha-na and Hwang Seon-woo offer courage and laughter, saying that it is okay to live differently, that while there may be some odd things, living that way will never lead to anything serious.


What a person should truly be proud of is not the size of his house or the brand of his car, but his friends.
It's not about how successful or powerful your friend is, but how good your friend cooks, how well someone else feeds, how well they sleep, how good they sing, how weak they are, how much we drink, and how many ridiculous memories we have. Those are the things in life that you should truly be proud of.

(Page 23, 'The Foreign Country of Others')

“Even outside of marriage and blood relations, prefabricated families like ours exist.
“It is constantly being born.”
“Prefabricated families are constantly being born.”
In a world where people ask about someone's marital status as if they were talking about the weather,
Two such funny and wonderful women began living and talking together.

The revised and expanded edition of "Two Women Live Here" includes full-color photos of the two women's daily lives and living spaces, photos of the cat family, and photos of various accidents and incidents that were not included in the first edition.
Additionally, four new essays by Kim Ha-na and Hwang Seon-woo have been added, including “What Happened to Us in the Five Years Since?”, which explore events that have occurred since the book was published.
It also contains the story of the death of the cat 'Goro', who suddenly passed away one day and now stays by their side as a 'transparent cat', and the time they endured the sadness together.


Since the publication of "Two Women Living Together" in 2019, the two authors have launched the podcast "Yeodutalk: Two Women Talking" and are now active as world-renowned podcasters.
By enduring the inevitable separation and pain in life together, caring for each other, leaning on each other, and getting back up again, they are building the 'Toktoro Universe' by sending powerful messages such as "Say good things are good," "Be yourself!" and "A woman has character" to women of the same age.


What kind of stories will these two women tell and write about in the future? It's certain that they won't simply end with "They lived happily ever after."
This prefabricated family of two women, formed through neither blood nor marriage, continues to build its own history five years after its first appearance.


It is said that the proportion of single-person households in our country exceeds 27%.
A single-person household is like an atom.
Of course, you can live happily alone.
Then, when it passes a certain critical point, it can combine with other atoms to form molecules.
There may be molecules with two atoms bonded together, or molecules with three, four, or twelve atoms bonded together.
There will be tight bonds and loose bonds.
The days when the only basis of a family was the solid bond between two atoms, a man and a woman, are gone.
In the future, countless different types of 'molecular families' will be born.
For example, the molecular formula of our family would be something like W2C4.
Two girls and four cats.
The current molecular structure is very stable.
Kim Ha-na (p. 10, "The Birth of a Molecular Family")

I came to know it naturally as time passed.
The reason I was anxious and nervous was not because I couldn't get married, but because of the people who scared me and made me anxious and nervous by saying things like, "There's something wrong with you not being able to get married," and "If you continue like this without getting married, you'll have big problems."
No matter how much the rappers try to belittle me, I know I'm not a defective object, nor a picky, unreasonable person.
However, there were times when a few relationships didn't go well, times when I was too busy with work or having fun to meet new people, times when I desperately went on blind dates because I wanted to get married, but my values ​​and lifestyle didn't match with the person I was dating. I've gotten through all of that and now I'm living well without getting married.
In my long and colorful history, known only to me, I am a person who cannot be summed up by others' mouths, and I am sorry, but I am happier than they could ever hope for.
