“You’re saying it’s okay to lie to them because they’re young?”
Digging into the suspicious secrets of bad adults
The Second Story of "The Poop-Stir-Fried Granny"

Whenever something happens to a child, Granny Poopbokki and her cat, Cheese, always show up! The quirky children's problem-solver "Grandma Poopbokki" series is back with its second installment!

When 『Ddongbokki Granny Volume 1』 was published, many children cheered at the appearance of the superhero who runs a tteokbokki restaurant in front of the school.
The sight of the old lady who looked into the eyes of children and listened to them from the children's perspective gave great emotion and comfort to adult readers as well.
We may have been desperately waiting for a truly wonderful adult, someone as righteous and warm as the old lady who made poop.
No, maybe I just started to hope that there might be a lot of Poop Stir-fry Granny around, very close by.


In 『Ddongbokki Granny Volume 2』, the granny listens carefully to the children's worries, one by one, that adults would usually just pass over or ignore.
It thoroughly exposes the problems of society beyond children's worries and even the misguided selfishness of adults.
It gives a sharp rebuke to adults who ignore or deceive children by saying things like, "They're young, so they don't know anything," or "They're young, so they should do what adults tell them to do," and leads them to regret and reflect.

In particular, the president of 'Pomnam TV' who appears in Chan-hoo's story in Volume 2 is a very selfish adult who only cares about money.
They do not hesitate to trample on the children's pure hearts in order to 'take every last penny of their hard-earned money, even down to their noses.'
They cleverly exploit the desire of children to be included in the daily 'Show-Off TV Popularity Video Rankings' to put their friends in trouble and make them distrust each other.
They only think about lining their own pockets by exploiting the fact that they are 'young, kind, and innocent' as weaknesses, and they have no concern for the emotional wounds that the children may suffer.


The same goes for the adults who appear in the story.
No matter how well-intentioned, if you only think and act from an adult's perspective while ignoring the child's perspective, it clearly shows that it can cause great harm to the child in the future.
In reality, Yena almost lost her most precious pet, her dog, overnight due to the adults' wrong thinking.

We often mistakenly think of being 'young' as being 'bad'.
Especially in this second volume, the poop-bokki grandmother shamefully reminds us that children are not inferior to adults, and that many of the world's wrongs are committed by adults rather than children.
Like a grandmother's hands soothing a sick stomach, it warmly comforts the hearts of wounded children and adults.
As we follow the old woman's witty remarks, we all find ourselves smiling and our eyes moistening.
A warm and just world is a great comfort and hope not only for children but also for adults.


Author Kang Hyo-mi, who wrote the book, also presented unique characters with her unique sense of humor in Volume 2.
With vivid colloquialisms, excellent readability, and a sophisticated plot with a twist, it clearly conveys the theme of good triumphing over evil, fully showcasing the charm of K-fantasy.
Here, the intense and lovely characters, warm colors, and humorous composition of illustrator Kim Mu-yeon were added, and 『Ddongbokki Granny 2_Adults' Secrets That Should Be Caught Out』 was born, which is healing just to look at.


“What do Santa Claus and the Stir-fried Pork Grandma have in common?”
The best fantasy hero fairy tale for children!

Of all the nights of the year, the one that children look forward to the most is probably Christmas Eve, when Santa Claus leaves presents.
We wait for Santa Claus in the hope that some miracle will happen while we sleep.
If there is a Santa Claus who gives us miracles on Christmas, there is a Poop-bokki Granny who comforts our heavy hearts every night.
The grandmother tells the children who can't sleep because of worry this.
“Don’t worry! Just have sweet dreams.
“When you wake up, everything will be resolved!”

"The Poop-Stir-Fried Granny" began with the hope that all children who read this story would meet the real Poop-Stir-Fried Granny.
Things that seem trivial to adults can be very difficult for children who don't have much experience in the world.
The warm and righteous fantasy of "Ddongbokki Granny" begins here: handing the world's most delicious tteokbokki to a child with hunched shoulders, looking into their eyes and listening intently, and silently staying by their side until the child's story is over.
Just having an adult who shares their concerns at the same level as them is a great comfort to children.
Because you will gain the courage and faith to feel like you have met a real superhero.

Just as we can meet many Santa Clauses up close during Christmas, I hope that many children who read this book will receive a 'warm and just world' as a gift from many poop-bokki grannies up close.
