■ A mysterious and strange midnight moonlight restaurant
“Today, one bad memory is all I need.”
“Just one bad memory?”
"sure.
“Next time I come, two, then three… … .”

Yeon-woo, a lonely child who feels like she's left alone in the world, happens to go to a moonlight restaurant in the middle of the night, where she meets the eyelash fox and the stray fox.
Yeonwoo is told that if she gives him one bad memory, she can eat a whipped cream cake with bright red strawberries sandwiched between white whipped cream. This makes her remember what happened at school that afternoon.
Instead of returning the 50,000 won my classmate dropped, I used it to buy slippers and school supplies! The bad memory of stealing the 50,000 won became the price of a delicious cake.
Yeon-woo returns to the Moonlight Diner the next night and brings up two more of the bad memories that still overflow.
What are the two bad memories that Yeonwoo gave to Eyelash Fox and Geulgeol Fox?
The midnight moonlight restaurant, where the eyelash fox and the stray fox greet you, neatly wearing white aprons and headscarves, is filled with a sweet and savory smell.
The story is vivid and powerful enough to stimulate all five senses: sight, smell, and touch.
Readers have the opportunity to cross their minds with the protagonist's and think about what bad memories they would bring up at the Moonlight Diner if they were there.
The heartwarming story of food made with sincerity by Eyelash Fox and Geulgeul Fox at 'Midnight Moonlight Restaurant' will be an opportunity for children to look into their inner selves.


■ Shh! My bad memories brought out in the moonlight diner at midnight
“The choice is yours.
So, what would you like to order today?

Will erasing bad memories bring happiness? Yeon-woo encounters a drunken man she once met at the Moonlight Diner on her way to school.
As Yeon-woo watches the sad and unfocused figure of the man being dragged away in a police car, drunk and having lost all his memories, she feels uneasy about what memories she has lost.
And then, Yeon-woo gets caught stealing money from a friend, but she doesn't remember stealing the 50,000 won or using it to buy indoor shoes and school supplies.
Yeon-woo, who ran away from school and wandered around until night fell and returned to the Moonlight Restaurant in the middle of the night, asks, “Why do I become sadder instead of happier even though I got rid of the bad memories?”

Through the two remaining bad memories that Yeon-woo erased at the Moonlight Diner, the author delivers the message that bad memories should not be forgotten, but rather faced and overcome on one's own.
The process of the words “I love you, remember!” that disappeared together with the bad memories coming back to Yeon-woo resonates deeply beyond sadness.
So, the judges highly praised the new writer's ability to create a moving and lingering story by incorporating a weighty theme into a fantasy-filled story.
After winning the Biryongso Literary Award for “Midnight Moonlight Restaurant,” author Lee Bun-hee also showed her ability by winning the Excellence Award at the Biryongso Long Fairy Tale Contest, “Golden Goblin Award,” in the same year.
I'm really looking forward to the future of this new writer.
