Starting with Kim So-min's "The Capsule Witch's Repair Pharmacy" in the first year, Seong Wan's "The Attic Detective" in the second, "Mongmong, the Book-Reading Puppy" in the third, "Heart-Pounding Worry Captain" in the fourth, and "Dida and the Picnic Fairy" in the fifth, the Biryongso Literary Award, which has brought new vitality to lower grade literature every year with fresh writers and works, has announced Park Joo-hye's "Transformation Pig" as the winner for its 6th year.
"Transformation Pig" is a story about the hilarious commotion that occurs when all the animals that come to Chani's house transform into pigs.
The setting that each animal keeps transforming into a pig is enough to pique curiosity, and the protagonist Chan-i's proactive approach in tracking down the secret of the transformation evokes empathy and support from young readers.
Chan-i's family, who are unable to accept the 'pig' for fear of becoming a laughing stock if they raise a real pig in addition to their fat appearance, contains many meanings worth pondering in modern society, so it is not something that can be just laughed off.


Judges Kim Jin-kyung, Kim Ri-ri, and Kim Ji-eun selected “Transformation Pig” as the most impressive work among the entries, citing its greatest strength as “the fact that it is a lovely story in its own way for younger readers who love animals, while for older readers, the more they ponder it, the more complex questions it raises.”
The comment that “this is a fairy tale that was worked on with such dedication and without lowering the goal of perfection until the very end” is the highest praise a new writer just entering the ring can receive.
It is a work that gives me the expectation that it will be a story that I can read again even after I have read it for a long time and grown up.
