I am Kim Kyung-hyun from Jinju.
Description
Book Introduction
What kind of spirit did the people of Jinju live by? Another important aspect is summarized by Kim Jang-ha's values of subjectivity, kindness, and equality.
Perhaps the defining roots of Jinju lie in the spirit of Nammyeong Josik's ideology of respect, the Nongae story, the Jinju Peasant Uprising, and the equality movement. With the publication of "100 Stories of Jinju" and "Killing Jinju," a diverse collection of writings in various formats, and "I, Jinju Citizen Kim Gyeong-hyeon!", there will be many more stories to share.

Into the book
In 2024, two books by author Kim Kyung-hyun raised questions about the people of Jinju and the spirit of Jinju.
Various opinions were spread online and offline, and writer Kim Kyung-hyun, a master of record-keeping, did not let these opinions pass unnoticed, but meticulously collected them.
We have compiled information known through newspapers, broadcasts, magazines, and social media.
It goes beyond simply collecting the material and adds the author's writing.
The content that was broadcast was transcribed and collected, as well as content that was published once in a magazine and then forgotten.
The posts on blogs and Facebook are collected, organized, and opinions are added to create another book.
You can't just hear good things about anything.
Depending on the perspective, the evaluation will differ and each individual's feelings will inevitably vary.
Author Kim Kyung-hyun's book also received both favorable and negative reviews.
It seems that the readers' affection was great, as no opinion can be expressed without affection.
There are also supplementary explanations and explanatory notes.
The article about 『100 Pearl Stories』 is organized into Part 1, the article about 『Killing Pearls』 is organized into Part 2, and Part 3 is organized into bitter criticism and behind-the-scenes stories about the two books.
There are various writings, but as the title of the book suggests, I am curious about what kind of people the people of Jinju are.
The editor of this book, Kim Kyung-hyun, was not born in Jinju.
Born in Andong, spent his youth in Gwangju, attended college in Jinju, and participated in cultural activism. He is currently active in Seoul and Sejong.
Author Kim Kyung-hyun asks questions about the people of Jinju during a book talk.
Everyone! You've heard this phrase a lot: "Jinju person?" Who is a "Jinju person"? Someone born? Or someone who has lived there for a long time? Someone who has lived there? Or someone who spends a lot of time in Jinju? Finally, if you say, "I'm a Jinju person!", do you have the "Jinju spirit"? Given this debate, who exactly is a "Jinju person"?
--- From the text
Someone responded with a recommendation for 『Killing Pearl』.
“I am Kim Kyung-hyun from Jinju!”
The author, who came to Jinju as a foreigner for his studies in 1985, has now become a true Jinju resident.
Only when local history is properly established can the whole picture of history be revealed.
Although the author humbly called it a “ridiculous dream,” I sincerely hope that he will achieve his absurd goal of writing “A Thousand and One Nights of Pearl.”
