Countless songs that touch our hearts
The lyricist who wrote the lyrics of those songs is Yang In-ja
A record of the past years with music

There is music that is loved across generations.
The song 'That Winter's Teahouse', released in 1985, is still loved by many people even after 40 years.
These days, a lot of old songs are playing on TV.
Among them, it is no exaggeration to say that 'That Winter's Teahouse' is the song that resonates the most with our hearts.
Singer Jeong Dong-won's "That Winter's Teahouse," sung with a voice that is still young, gives us a different kind of emotion than the one that leaves our hearts tingling with the ripe voice of singer Cho Yong-pil.
I wonder if that young man can understand the emotion contained in those lyrics, but I find myself wiping my eyes that have become wet.
Great music is nothing else.
Great music is music that resonates in the hearts of the public for a long time, transcending time.

Composer Kim Hee-gap and lyricist Yang In-ja, who created numerous hit songs including 'That Winter's Teahouse', 'The Leopard of Kilimanjaro', and 'Applying Lipstick Thickly', created countless works, especially in the 80s and 90s, with the most popular singers of the time.
The best songs sung by Cho Yong-pil, Lee Sun-hee, Hye-eun Lee, and Kim Gook-hwan were born from them.
Recently, the couple Kim Hee-gap and Yang In-ja created a song called 'Iris' with new generation singer Yang Ji-eun.
They are truly living legends of the pop music industry, having created countless hit songs across generations.


The lyrics written by Yang In-ja are lyrical and beautiful, perfectly suited to the Korean sensibility, and are praised by the public and critics alike.
That is why it is loved by many people regardless of age.
The unique and lyrical feeling felt in her unique writing style can also be felt in her latest essay, “That Winter’s Teahouse.”

“Song is a living being.
My heart is pounding because someone is calling me
“It grows tall like a tree and blooms.”

These are the words of author Yang In-ja, who has spent her entire life with songs and added meaning to them by adding beautiful lyrics.
Living for song might sound like a difficult statement to grasp, but no one can deny that we always rely on song to survive.
Everyone has probably felt the comfort of a song at least once.
You may have felt the power of a song to move and shake your heart.
Songs live in our hearts.
And in doing so, it gives us life and enables us to live.
Whether we are sad or happy, songs are with us.
It transforms sadness into joy, and joy into happiness.

This book is an autobiographical music essay in which author Yang In-ja looks back on the past 40 years of her life with music.
While none of the songs she wrote are worthy of mention, this book carefully and wittily captures the story of how she created 30 of them.
In addition, it contains 10 pieces of writing serialized by author Yang In-ja in [Samteo].
A faint smile naturally spread across my face as I read all of her writing.
Like resting my head on my mother's lap and listening to her warm stories.


Music flows through every word of the text
Artist Shin Jae-heung adds color
Birch tree painting series

The works of artist Shin Jae-heung, famous for his series of beautiful birch tree paintings, further enhance the writings of artist Yang In-ja contained in this book.
The birch tree paintings by Shin Jae-heung and the lyrical lyrics and small, gentle stories by Yang In-ja blend together so well that it seems as if they were originally created as one work.
Thus, his drawings empower her writing style and story, and add to the reader's viewing pleasure.
Looking at the pictures of tall birch trees makes me marvel at the wonders of nature, and my mind becomes more calm as I read.
The 'tree' that the writer Yang In-ja said was like a song is probably a 'birch tree' that grows tall anywhere.

Additionally, various photos are also released.
Some of the photos and scores have never been published before, which will add interest to readers.
Photos of the musicians from that era bring the story to life.
These are photos taken by author Yang In-ja from an old photo album and presented to you.
Somehow, blurry and hazy photos evoke a vague feeling, more so than photos in full color.
