“It’s a good refuge.
The library.”

Author Yeon Yeoreum, who has joined the ranks of young writers who will become the future of Korean literature with the publication of her first short story collection, Lisianthus, and the full-length novel, Speed, Roll, Action!, has published her new work, Limited Edition Book Club for the Second Semester, as part of the Wisdom House short story series, Wipick.
In this work, the author created a warm and welcoming space for all those who need a place to rest through the library and the library department that guards the space.


Doha, a third-year middle school student, begins volunteer work at the library as a punishment.
No matter how much Dohara loves the library, the thought of having to be with the gloomy-looking librarian teacher, Gamu-bi, weighs heavily on her heart.
In the school library, which is not frequented by many students, the only student who catches the eye of Do-ha, who can see ghosts, is the ghost Lee Su-jeong.
Teacher Moon-bi tells Do-ha to help Lee Soo-jung read books, and Do-ha realizes that Moon-bi can also see spirits.
Meanwhile, Doha discovers a mysterious note in his locker and sets out to find its source.


The library club activities of these three strange beings, two people who see ghosts and a spirit, and Doha's mystery of finding the owner of the note seem like separate stories, but by the middle of the work, they complete a puzzle and ultimately draw them into the library.
What better place than a library to hear the “fingerprint-like stories” (p. 103) that both the living and the dead have in their hearts?
As readers read the work, they will relive the tranquil and delicate sensations that the library provides, and experience the lyricism of Yeonyeoreum, listening to each individual story with persistent affection and thoughtful attention.


50 stories in 50 books in one year
A special experience that allows you to breathe deeply into 'a single story'

Beginning in November 2022, Wisdom House will be introducing the most diverse and newest stories of Korean literature, one per week, through its short story serial project, "Weekly Fiction."
The series is released every Wednesday through the Wisdom House website and newsletter 'We Pick'.
Starting with author Koo Byeong-mo's "Shred," 50 stories are scheduled to meet readers over the course of a year.
The Wepick series publishes novels that have finished serialization in this way sequentially.
Starting with the first five stories on March 8th, four stories will be published every second Wednesday of the month, for a total of 50 story festivals throughout the year.
This time, rather than the conventional method of binding together several short stories, the book is composed of only one short story, an unusual attempt that provides readers with a special experience of breathing deeply into each story.
Wepick is not bound by any criteria or distinctions such as material or format, and focuses solely on the completeness of a single story.
Through novels by a variety of authors, including novelists, non-fiction writers, poets, and youth literature writers, we break down genres and boundaries, expanding the possibilities and enjoyment of stories.
There is also a special gift inside the book.
This is a supplementary poster titled 'One Novel', which contains an entire novel on one poster.
A single novel offers readers the special experience of encountering a story in a new way.

Introducing the Wepick Series

Wepick is a short story series from Wisdom House.
It offers a special experience of breathing deeply into ‘one story’.
I dream that this small piece will become a new piece that expands your world, that each small piece will come together to become your story, and that it will become a piece of literature that will be deeply engraved in your heart.
