My heart is pounding! Is it because of the bike?
The third installment of "Bad Bike Trip," a must-read book every semester.

The third story of 'Bad Bicycle Trip', which was published in 2009 and has been loved for over 13 years, unfolds.
For Hojin, who was exhausted from the family relationship that had collapsed due to his parents' discord, it was definitely a bicycle trip that gave him a hint to overcome the difficulties and allowed him to take the initiative to solve the problem.
Hojin, who has grown little by little like this, plans a new trip as a leader, a trip to Jeju Island with his friends of the same age, Eunchan and Jiwoo.


The emotions Hojin encountered in Jeju were more unfamiliar and difficult than the unfamiliar road.
“It’s the first time I’ve ever felt this way since I was born, and I suddenly fell in love with someone,” Hojin is faced with a moment of choice.
Hojin's struggle to decide whether to confess to the person he likes or to hide his feelings and remain friends brings empathy and a thrilling sense of tension to the readers.
Author Kim Nam-joong delicately portrayed the thrilling emotions of love even during a seemingly straightforward bicycle trip.
If your heart raced every time you saw 'that kid,' if you've ever glanced at them only to find yourself looking away, if you've ever wavered between love and friendship, you'll be drawn into the three friends in this story.
Hojin's choices, which become stronger as he discovers the meaning of family throughout volumes 1 and 2, teach him how to move forward with courage even in difficult times.

“I’m not worthy of being a father.”
A fairy tale that broadly captures the concerns of various generations.

『Bad Bicycle Trip 3 - With That Kid』 is a panoramic collection of worries and thoughts that can be encountered at various moments in life.
'Uncle' and 'Sister Chiyeon' love each other, but they are faced with realistic circumstances and begin to consider marriage, and realize that they cannot live a life where they do everything they want.
The image of those who have reached a crossroads where they must give up something in order to lead a stable life in the future is something that any young person today can relate to.


But the direction they would take forward could also be found on the road they pedaled.
The one who saved his uncle, who was doubting his own usefulness and suffering from self-destructive feelings, was none other than Hojin.
Hojin, who was worn out and exhausted in a family relationship that was as thin as thin ice, gained the strength to live on and the courage to achieve something on his own thanks to his uncle's bicycle trip, and was reborn as the confident boy he is today.
The story of people saving each other across generations will deeply move readers.
This is why Hojin's third trip is so special.


“How about cycling to Mt. Halla today?”
Today, running forward toward a better tomorrow

A theme that runs through the 'Bad Bike Trip' series is Hojin's insight that the bicycle "wouldn't move unless I pedaled."
We all face countless challenges and choices as we go through life, and if we give up because things are difficult, nothing will change.
Author Kim Nam-joong proves through Ho-jin's journey that if you pedal steadily even when it's difficult, you will eventually reach your destination.


One of the virtues the author has incorporated into his work is his attitude of not overlooking small but unique landscapes.
No matter how fast you climb Hallasan, is it worth it if you fail to appreciate the beauty unique to that path? The courage and composure to push forward with all your might, but then, when times get tough, lean on your fellow runner for a moment are essential values ​​for children.
In this way, the three friends create “our own trip” and enjoy the dazzling sea of ​​Jeju and the cool, tree-lined forest.
The vivid painting by artist Seungmin Oh captures the stage as it is.
The perfect harmony of text and pictures conveys the pleasure and sense of accomplishment that Hojin felt, as well as his determination to overcome pain and rise again.
As we cheer on Hojin, who will leap forward with a much more mature appearance, we expect that readers will also discover that their own hearts have grown significantly.
