Into the book
If there's a part-time job that pays 500,000 won a month by investing just 5 minutes on Sunday, it's only natural to accept it.
The honey part-time job I started was very unusual.
---From "Strange Part-Time Jobs"

“Thank you for your cooperation.
I hope you don't become overly happy today.
“There are many cases of social license cancellations, especially when there is a special event such as a proposal.” --- From “The Day of Proposal”

Jeong Jae-jun sat in front of the computer and searched for ways to commit suicide.
I also searched for suicide sites that were secretly hidden.
I didn't really want to commit suicide.
I just wanted to be pitied.
He wanted to get people's sympathy by committing suicide.
I wanted to be pitied.
He's been like that since he was little.
People had to pay attention to them and care about them.
At school, if someone hurt their finger, I was the type of person who had to be treated as if I was hurt more.

“I really enjoyed working on these.
But that was all a year ago.
I overcame my addiction to murder over the past year.
A year ago, my daughter started elementary school, and my wife became pregnant with our second child… I thought I couldn’t take it anymore.
For my beloved family, for myself, I overcame my addiction to killing!”
---From "Disgusting, Addiction Recovery Meeting"

Publisher's Review
A new collection of short stories by Kim Dong-sik, who created a sensation in 2018 with [Gray Man].
A collection of stories that captivated 300,000 readers through serialization on Kakao Page, as well as unpublished works.


“Once you start reading, you can’t stop.”
A hot novel chosen by 300,000 Kakao Page readers!


Kim Dong-sik's novels powerfully develop stories by focusing on a wide range of backgrounds and materials found in reality, adding elements of science fiction, fantasy, thriller, and comedy.
The rhythm is superb, making it impossible to turn the pages because you are curious about what happens next.
Readers enjoy his stories, which are filled with details that seem to have been ripped from everyday life and transport them to another dimension in an instant.


Works such as “How to Succeed in Korea” and “Chasing the Line” included in “The Murderer’s Classic” clearly show a different side of author Kim Dong-sik than before.
"How to Succeed in Korea" is the story of Kim Nam-woo, who struggles to escape his humble beginnings and ends up getting an internship at a large corporation.
He does a great job as the chairman's liquor director and comes one step closer to success.
But, seeing the chairman's secret place, I feel a dangerous curiosity.
Will his curiosity truly lead him to success? The protagonist of "Chasing the Line" spends his childhood chasing the mysterious blue and red lines that appeared on his forehead.
The lines begin with him picking up a coin that fell on the playground, and lead to big and small events in his life.
And in the latter half of his life, the man sets out to find the source of the red line, the end of which he had no idea about…

A brilliant imagination, a surprising ending!
A short story that takes the fun of Kim Dong-sik's novels to the limit.


The seventh novel collection, 『The Murderer's Guide』, is a compilation of popular works from the series of the same name on the web novel platform Kakao Page, along with previously unpublished works.
You can feel the charm of Kim Dong-sik's novels, which are characterized by a story that jumps into the story without any explanation, a speed that makes it read in one breath, and intriguing twists and turns.
Since posting his first novel on an online bulletin board in 2016, Kim Dong-sik has written over 500 short stories.
Yet his imagination seems to have remained undiminished.
Readers just have to wait for the day when he will produce a thousand short stories.

Kim Dong-sik, who transformed from a foundry worker to a writer, still quietly writes a novel every two to three days.
Watching him serialize his short stories on Kakao Page, other novelists are amazed by his talent and sincerity.
His writing is clearly evolving.
The narrative becomes increasingly sophisticated and precise, and the humor and unexpected twists of Kim Dong-sik's style continue to appear, leaving readers with a big question mark.
The stories of author Kim Dong-sik, like the never-ending "A Thousand and One Nights."
I won't be able to get him out of my mind until those stories are over.
How far can this fascinating storyteller's imagination go?
