- From the judges' comments (Kim Jin-kyung, Kang Jeong-yeon, Kim Ri-ri, Kim Ji-eun)

The second story of the 13th Biryongso Literary Award winner, “Search Captain Kim Ji-woo,” “Tear Captain Hong Soo-ah,” has been published.
『Tear Captain Hong Soo-ah』 is a work that still stands out with the delicate gaze and vivid sense of presence of author Jang Hee-jung, which she showed in 『Search Captain Kim Ji-woo』. Through the appearance of Ji-woo's classmates, it warmly comforts the tension and fear that anyone who is about to start a new school, a new semester, or a new beginning must have.


The main characters, Do-yoon and Su-ah, have a strong desire to do well in school.
Doyoon is excited about his new school life, especially his after-school classes, and Sua, who is prone to crying, wants to start her school life without crying.
But things don't always go as planned.
Doyoon is unable to attend the after-school classes he desperately wanted, and Suah bursts into tears in front of the entire school on the first day of school when her tooth falls out.
Children who start out in a way that is not what they expected are confused and upset.
The story of two children overcoming their own difficulties at their own pace unfolds with surprising detail and interest.
Following 『Finding Captain Kim Ji-woo』, in this new work, Kim Mu-yeon's vivid illustrations, reminiscent of an animation, cheerfully bring to life the wholesome charm of this fairy tale.

Into the book
Maybe there was more to school than just soccer.

I never knew I could find something I love as much as soccer.

Thump thump, my heart was pounding.

--- From the text

I felt like I would burst into tears if I opened my mouth even a little.
Still, thanks to the tightly tied tear sac, I was able to part ways with my grandmother without shedding a single tear.

Publisher's Review
■ Can you find something you like besides soccer? _The first Doyoon story
The difficulty of trying something new without preconceptions


Doyoon eagerly awaits the start of the new semester and the day he can go to school.
The reason is that I want to go to a large grass field as soon as possible and play 'real soccer'.
There are many other classes besides soccer on the after-school schedule, but Doyoon only focuses on soccer.
Doyoon hates baduk, magic, and jumping rope.
I have to match my mom's work time with Doyoon's work time, but Doyoon is a soccer fanatic who has no interest in anything else.
But the popular after-school classes that children flock to have to be chosen by lottery… Will Doyoon be able to join the soccer club as he wishes?

Maybe there was more to school than just soccer.

I never knew I could find something I love as much as soccer.

Thump thump, my heart was pounding.
_From the text

The lively and concise sentences, which seem to pop, well express the fear and excitement of first-year student Doyoon.
You can't know whether something is good or bad until you experience it.
But it's quite difficult to make new choices bravely without preconceptions.
The surprising ending, which completely erases Doyoon's anxiety and despair from the unwanted after-school classes, sends warm and powerful encouragement to children facing many new choices.


■ Warm support and encouragement for those about to start their first journey_ The second Sua story

The protagonist of the second story, Su-ah, promised her parents not to cry at the entrance ceremony.
Although Su-ah is prone to crying, she has decided that she will never cry again since this is her first day of school.
However, Su-ah was unable to keep her promise to herself because her tooth suddenly fell out during the entrance ceremony.
Finally, Grandma Sua tied the tear sac under her head with her hair to prevent her from crying… … .


I felt like I would burst into tears if I opened my mouth even a little.
Still, thanks to the tightly tied tear sac, I was able to part ways with my grandmother without shedding a single tear.
