Into the book
Wook-i said that he had been playing this game for half a year and there was no way he could lose to me, and he even made a bet with cup ramen.
“It’s because I’m not feeling well.
Let's meet again tomorrow or the day after.
I will really beat you thoroughly!”
I naturally accepted the challenge, and today is the day of the final battle.

--- p.15

But the problem is that after that, Shim Ji-young started nagging.
Before we parted ways in front of my house, he nagged me about how I've been going to PC rooms a lot lately and that I should just go a little less because it's bad for my eyes.
Shim Ji-young's nagging was so similar to my mother's that I began to suspect that it was really my mother who made Shim Ji-young do it.

--- p.20

When Sang-i heard this, he asked what he meant, but Dong-gyu made an excuse with a suspicious expression, saying that it was nothing and that Ji-young and I were absolutely not dating.
So you came to me to check.
I flatly denied it and made excuses saying I didn't know why Donggyu said that.
Sang-i stared at me intently, then said, "That's strange, that's strange," and left.
--- p.51

This is why it was out of balance.
I removed the stickers cleanly and it became my perfect desk again.
I sat down and opened my notebook and the balance was just right.
I had a feeling that I would do well in my studies here.
Of course, that doesn't mean I didn't study.
I'm going to study anyway once first period starts, so there's no need to study in the morning.

--- p.61

Mom said she was surprised to meet the teacher at the mart.
The teacher told my mother that he had read my poem and recommended that I participate in the upcoming 100-day celebration.
As soon as I got home from the market, my mom scolded me terribly.
Because I didn't say that I could go to Hanbit Baekiljang.
(of course.
Because I don't want to go out.)
--- p.76

I lay in bed and read the comments for a long time, and my eyes felt like they were going to fall out, so I just gave up.
I closed my eyes to sleep, but the comments on the poem I wrote kept lingering in my mind.
In particular, the song 'Too Gurim' written by Yoon Jeong-min did not leave my mind.
This is probably why they say you should never write malicious comments.
--- p.88

Publisher's Review
They say a single word can repay a debt of a thousand nyang.
Haters, beware!


Sungmin, who went to the 100th day celebration with Shim Jiyoung at the teacher's recommendation, is bombarded with malicious comments in an online elementary school poetry cafe.
Sungmin is under a lot of stress because his friend, Jeongmin Yoon, who has been winning at the 100th day celebration since he was young, has been leaving malicious comments on his poetry.
To make matters worse, on the day of the 100th day celebration, a fight for seats broke out between Yoon Jung-min's aunts and Sung-min's mother.
Sungmin has to write a poem within a given time limit, but his mind is completely blank! Will Sungmin be able to overcome all these difficulties and produce a brilliant poem at the 100-day contest?

They say that even an earthworm, or rather a worm, will squirm when stepped on.
Discover your dreams through courageous challenges!


The realistic daily life of the wild and wild Sungmin allows us to share and empathize with the worries and conflicts that children actually experience these days.
From friendships with friends, to romantic interest, to online challenges.
As Sungmin overcomes these challenges, children will naturally learn to regulate their emotions and build relationships.
In particular, the way Sungmin challenges himself with a new challenge like the 100-day celebration and deals with malicious comments subtly tells him that fighting back against a friend who has upset him is not the only skill, but that he should use that strength and energy for his own growth.
Unlike other editions, this one includes explanations of proverbs and a quiz at the back of the book.
Let's read the story and read it together.

Children's honest thoughts and daily lives, conveyed with humor
The popular children's book series "Sungmin's Diary," first discovered by young readers


The "Sungmin's Diary" series is famous for its ability to portray the minds and reality of children these days, to the point where many people ask if it is a diary written by an actual child.
In "The Day My Leg Broke," Sungmin breaks his leg and begins an unwanted power struggle with Sungkisung, the strongest boy in the class, over Baekjeongmin, the prettiest boy in the class.
"I'm Not Good at Anything" is a story about Sungmin discovering what he likes after seeing his close friends discover their talents.
In "Nothing Goes My Way!", Sungmin, who has no luck with anything, is given the shocking news that his parents have to move, and the story of a friendship(?) that shines through in the midst of hardship.
"I Really Saw a Ghost!" is about the commotion that ensues while playing a ghost prank, and "I Think I Like You" tells the story of Sungmin's first love as he discovers that he likes his best friend Sim Ji-young.
In "Oh My God, I'm Sorry for the Misunderstanding," Sungmin's unique daily life is shown through stories about malicious commenters and the weekend farm.
"What on earth is overseas travel?" contains the story of Sungmin's turbulent travels as he takes his first-ever airplane trip abroad.
"I Won't Fall!" contains the story of Sungmin challenging himself to do things he didn't want to do.
The "Sungmin's Diary" series shines even brighter with the illustrations of artist Park Jeong-seop, who exquisitely expresses comical stories metaphorically.
It's a lot of fun to read the pictures, which are expressed in a sophisticated yet humorous way.
Children, of course, but adults too, will read it and giggle as they reminisce about their childhood, which they had briefly forgotten.
