Into the book
The swallow gasped for breath as he climbed the hill.
He bent down, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked around the building surrounded by a stone wall.
There were two palm trees in the yard, and clumps of sky-blue hydrangeas flowed over the stone wall.
Beyond that, the cobalt blue sea spread out before us.
The swallow fiddled with his sweaty shirt.
Jeju's summer sunlight is so strong that wet clothes dry quickly.
Hesitantly, the swallow approached the entrance.
The sign said “Hakuda Photo Studio,” but the view from the window looked like a cafe.
The clock on the wall said it was half past two.
--- p.18
The swallow visited the websites of famous photo studios to do benchmarking.
I remembered that Seokyeong was using the first floor as an exhibition hall, so I looked up news about the photo exhibition.
Then, I searched for the name Seokyeong without thinking, and the results were truly surprising.
The next morning, as soon as he left for work, the swallow asked.
“Boss! Have you ever received an award?”
--- pp.54~55
Jeongmi spoke as she moved a large bowl filled with shells.
“Urgent debt, children’s tuition, etc… You helped me, Naedong.
“Those supporters.” Seok-yeong and Je-bi silently watched Jeong-mi wipe her eyes with her sleeve.
Jeongmi took out a tissue and blew her nose vigorously, and smiled brightly.
“The reason is because we are classmates at Woodeul Girls’ High School.
I got a job, got married, and lived a hectic life until I started riding a dozen years ago.
I just heard the news and couldn't even think about it.
But they kept telling me to come out… … .
I came out to pay off my debt.
Will you only have a smiling face for three days?
“I’ll pay off all my debts with that.”
--- p.84
“I know a lot of seniors who took a break from their careers after getting married.
I've seen many men who neglect raising their children after their wives give birth.
I was so scared that I would get stabbed in the back of my head by the axe I trusted. I was so scared that a man who had never stabbed me in the back of the head before would stab me in the back of the head.
Actually, I was conflicted even after coming here.
Even when we were conflicted about whether we liked the filming location or not, we thought it just didn't suit us.
“At the hotel tonight… …I was going to break off the engagement.”
--- pp.134~135
Quartz asked himself.
His youth in his memory was stained like a rotten film.
No matter how much I envied youth, I had no confidence that I could experience those days again.
I have been running for 10 years with the single goal of opening a photo studio.
I never had a single relationship, and I saved money by working any job I could find.
Those who look beautiful now must have endured such times too.
--- p.169
“At that time, three people died under my jurisdiction.
They were all women.
Every time an incident occurred, enraged families would come to the police station and terrorize them.
Our chief was stressed out because of that.
All of our staff did that.
If it's quiet, it'll be on the news and the local value will drop.
There was a flood of complaints from local residents.
Seriously, that kid shouldn't have died.
So… … I saved that kid.”
--- p.218
He bent both ears toward the child.
“I want to take a picture too.” At that moment, everyone looked at Hye-yong.
Hyeyong's parents had never given their child a camera before.
I was worried that the child might get hurt.
They always let me touch the printed photos.
I thought that was enough.
On the other hand, Quartz and Swallow had different concerns.
They thought about how they could teach photography to a child like Hye-yong.
My mind went blank.
“But… how about you?” Hyojae asked.
Yanghee, surprised, covered her son's mouth with her hand.

Publisher's Review
Because of a young man who came from the mainland
A wave of change begins to rise in Jeju's seaside villages.
★★★ The Best Healing Drama of 2022
Hakuda Photo Studio Limited Winter Edition Released ★★★
The new full-length novel, "Hakuda Photo Studio," by Taeyeon Heo, winner of the 11th Honbul Literary Award, the largest prize money award in Korea at 70 million won, has been published.
The author's new backgrounds and more colorful stories than in his previous works come to offer readers warm comfort in their weary daily lives.
Yeon Je-bi, a twenty-five-year-old who had just graduated from college and was working at a small photography studio in Seoul.
The protagonist, Jebi, who commutes to and from work in the same space every day, happens to see a billboard and sees the beautiful scenery of Jeju Island. He makes a decision on the spot.
He decided to take a plane and give his youth, exhausted from social life, a Jeju summer.
After quitting his job and selling his studio apartment, Jebi heads to Jeju Island without a plan.
On the last day of the trip, the swallow, who was savoring the last moments while looking out at the cobalt sea spread out over the fine sand, suddenly collided with something dull.
A young man with no manners collided with a surfboard and the swallow ended up dropping his cell phone into the sea.
At that time, the swallow had no idea that the accident would change his fate.
After losing his cell phone, plane ticket, and credit card in a ridiculous accident, Jevi walks along the coastal road, lamenting that his life has become even more bleak and that he has become a penniless wanderer.
Then, the swallow, who entered the 'Daewangmulkkureok Village', discovered a two-story house standing on a cliff in the corner of the village.
The sign on the white building reads “Hakuda Photo Studio.”
While looking around a quiet photo studio where neither the owner nor the customers are in sight, the swallow spots a job advertisement and his heart starts pounding.
Even though he returned to Seoul, Jebi, who had not found any plans for the future, told the photographer the whole story and started working there for a period of three months...
“Our blues isn’t over yet!”
It takes place in a photo studio in a quiet village in Jeju.
A cheerful and lively story of human lives.
Based on the author's experiences living in Jeju Island during his childhood, the novel "Hakuda Photo Studio," written while recalling "the warm and resilient Jeju people and the beautiful and warm Jeju summers," is full of stories that will provide comfort to readers exhausted from their busy lives this summer.
‘Daewangmulkkureok Village’ is a new creation created by adding the author’s imagination to a real place in Jeju.
The author revealed that he wrote the novel with great care, one drop at a time, with the hope of “inviting readers” to this place where “people tired of everyday life can come and reflect on their lives and create new memories.”
Who are the people who visit Hakuda Photo Studio, located in a quiet village in Jeju? They are none other than ordinary people we encounter all around us.
High school classmates in their 50s from Chungcheong Province who came to confirm their friendship, a couple in their 30s who were preparing for their wedding photo shoot and were reconsidering marriage itself, young people in their 20s who came to visit for a moment to feel a sense of freedom from job hunting, and even a detective in his 70s who set out on the last journey of his life regretting his past actions.
The people who visit the Hakuda Photo Studio all resemble us living in the present reality.
Let go of today, which I have lived through with difficulty
A photo studio that captures the 'real' appearance of a transformed tomorrow.
“This is Jeju’s ‘Hakuda Photo Studio’!”
'Hakuda' means 'to do something' or 'to do something' in Jeju dialect.
In English it would be expressed as 'will do'.
So, 'Hakuda Photo Studio' is 'a photo studio that takes great pictures of anything.'
A place where we, who have survived the hardships of today, can put down our heavy hearts and rest, a place where we can find comfort and the driving force to live through the dark and gloomy tomorrow.
In other words, it is a place where you can put down the difficult appearance of today and capture the 'true appearance' of tomorrow that has changed and leave it as a single photo.
This is the Hakuda Photo Studio.
It's a fairly long novel, but the moment you open the book, you'll find yourself reading without stopping.
"Hakuda Photo Studio" is not simply a story that begins with interest and ends with fun, but rather, it is "our story," a story that we must empathize with and walk together toward.
A novel that gives us, who have struggled to survive today, a warm smile and gentle comfort.
A novel that will bring you to tears at the end of the story.
I hope that through this novel, you will immediately face tears of hope and empathy, not tears of sadness and despair.
A wave of change begins to rise in Jeju's seaside villages.
