The vibrations of growth recorded in the rhythm of language
There is a child who floats 15 centimeters into the air without anyone knowing.
The main character of this book is 'Oh Yul'.
"My Story of Leeul" is a fantastical novel that depicts the growing pains of a teenager enduring reality through K-pop, poetry, and the word "Leeul."
Oyul, who suffers from school violence, poverty, and unstable family relationships, always has his earphones plugged in and listens to K-pop.
Because everything except K-pop feels like noise.
I always carry Rambo's poetry collection with me and read it.
Because reading poetry can make you levitate.
Then one day, Oh Yul meets Eul-oh, who is living a reality with a similar density to his own.
The two share their hearts and support each other through music, poetry, and their own rhythms.
The book delicately explores the loneliness and hurt of adolescence, as well as love and recovery.
The greatest force that creates errors in this process is language as rhythm.
Oh Yul finds a new 'Ri-eul' that connects the world and himself through the rhythm of language that extends from K-pop lyrics, Rimbaud's poetry, and Goryeo songs.
The 'ㄹ' that was 'shaped like a person kneeling' gradually becomes a flow, a rebellion, and a rising force.
In this way, the author sensually unfolds before us the emotions of adolescence, which are difficult to reach with precise grammar, by translating them through rhythm and pronunciation.

My own rhythm, my own 'Rieul'
Oh Yul finds his own 'Ri-eul' outside of alienation and wounds.
I listen to K-pop to escape from the incomprehensible words of my mother and the noise of school that I feel left out.
In the stuffy house, away from my mother's fishy seolleongtang restaurant, I turn and go to the library to read Rimbaud's poetry.
In this way, you create your own 'Rieul', or rules.
To Oh Yul, ‘Lee Eul’ is flow, strength, and a dream.
And it is a small order that connects me and the world, today and tomorrow.
Any teenager has this kind of 'my reason'.
Some sound, some movement, some object.
There are moments when the feeling of him pushes deep into the heart.
When it settles in the heart, it becomes each person's 'Rieul'.
"My Story of Leeul" shows the process of finding one's own rhythm.
The book says:
When the world doesn't make sense, when they lack the courage to move on to tomorrow, what young people need most isn't a grand answer, but a small rhythm, a "my own rhythm."

How to rise 15 centimeters above reality
The world Oh Yul lives in is always close to the bottom.
A semi-basement house, blood pooling in the kitchen basin of a Seolleongtang restaurant, a black hole dug by the school bullies.
The error rate rises 15 centimeters from the 'floor'.
What makes this book special is its subtle height.
Violence and poverty are usually described as 'big', but actual survival is achieved by attaching 'little' bits of floating time.
After securing a height that will not be pressed, O-Ryul catches his breath.
Instead of such great salvation, we secure a minimum of dignity.
It doesn't fly.
It just comes to mind.
This is the minimum condition to withstand the error rate.
The error rate does not struggle to rise higher.
By repeatedly rising low, you learn to land safely.
“Quietly, the quality of bouncing high.” This is the last thing that O-Yul finds out in the book.
The discovery that we 'jump high' instead of 'float low' is a declaration of living in reality without letting go of our dreams.
In this way, “My Story of Leeul” shows young people how to stand on the “here and now,” even if it is sometimes shaky and shabby.

The moment when two people's rhythms meet
Eul-oh is a character who shakes up the world of Oh-yul.
It hits the rhythm of the rhythm, sometimes breaking it, and sometimes amplifying it.
In this way, the two of them create new rhythms for themselves and each other.
The new rhythm created by the meeting of different beats is the form of salvation that the two people discovered.
Instead of sharing wounds, we connect by matching rhythms.
A relationship that listens rather than understands.
This is the grammar of solidarity presented in this book.
The music and poetry that Oh Yul and Eul-oh exchange are a code and promise between them.
It's a secret coordinate that allows you to take a break from reality and catch your breath.
There, the two listen to each other's rhythm and resonate.
Even if love doesn't change the world, the moment two people vibrate together, the world changes.
"My Lieul Story" delicately captures that sense of romance.
Someday, there will come a moment when the reader suddenly realizes his or her own 'leeul' in a certain piece of music or sentence.
At that time, I hope that this book will become the coordinates that call out ‘Lee Eul’.
