A heart-pounding sci-fi fairy tale that explores the meaning of life.
“Please remember this.
“Love is the strongest.”

Author Young-joo Yoon, who won the 25th Changbi 'Good Children's Book' Grand Prize with 'The Last Level Up', a work that captures timeless values ​​in a solid narrative, has published her second full-length children's book, 'Frozen Human Lee Si-hoo'.
This is the story of a child who, suffering from a rare disease, chooses cryopreservation as a last resort and struggles to find his place in an unfamiliar future.

The period during which Shifu was asleep in the cold cryogenic capsule was 40 years.
Shi-hoo's family, clinging to a thin thread of hope amidst the tyranny of the cryonics company 'Frozen', sacrificed everything to cover the cost of Shi-hoo's freezing.
Shi-hoo is given a chance to start a new life with a healthy body, but he despairs at the fact that his mother and grandmother, who loved him more than anyone else, have passed away.
The uncomfortable silence of his younger brother, Jeong-hu, whom he cherished more than anyone else, torments Si-hu even more, and as he realizes what a burden he has been to his family over the years, he is crushed by the weight of life.
In this situation, the sight of Shi-hoo, who has nowhere to rely on, hesitating to dream of a life beyond enduring while giving up happy and joyful times evokes bitter sympathy.
The question that Shi-hoo faces, “Why should we live?” runs through this work.

Sihoo's "The Thaw," which is a smooth read from beginning to end while also addressing deep concerns, will satisfy fans of the science fiction genre and readers seeking a profound story.
Just as author Yoon Young-joo addressed philosophical questions through adventures in a virtual reality game in “The Last Level Up,” she also incorporated a profound message into an engaging material that children can easily immerse themselves in in “Frozen Human Lee Si-hoo.”


Author Yoon Young-joo, with her characteristically calm yet warm gaze, follows the process of a lonely child growing up while reflecting on the love she received.
This masterpiece showcases the true nature of the science fiction genre, which delves deeply into human emotions and concerns while utilizing future society and cutting-edge technology as its subject matter. It supports the will to live within all children and delivers heartfelt comfort.
Painter Kim Sang-wook's sophisticated drawings, which depict future society with his own unique brushstrokes, inject a sensual charm into the story and add depth to the sci-fi fairy tale.

The strongest foundation of a person is family.
The value of family love that will never change

Shihoo chooses banana pancakes, which are filled with his grandmother's love, as his favorite food.
When he first opens his eyes and goes out to eat, Shihoo looks for banana pancakes.
However, the bananas that Shihu knew have long since become extinct.
The banana pancakes placed in front of me tasted completely different from what I remembered.
Si-hoo is heartbroken to learn that neither his grandmother nor the banana pancakes she used to make are any more, so his niece Bora makes banana pancakes with her clumsy skills and gives them to Si-hoo as a gift.
And on Sihoo's thirteenth birthday, Jeonghoo presents the real banana pancakes he has been keeping for Sihoo.
A banana that Jeong-hu had carefully preserved for decades, thinking of his older brother, Si-hu.
The pure love of a family wanting to feed their favorite food is sensually expressed from beginning to end through banana pancakes.

Shihu's family, including his grandmother, do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.
The devoted love of such a family is a miracle that happens in all of our daily lives.
Even as family forms diversify, the grand trajectory of life, in which children grow up within a family and then, as adults, create new families, does not change easily.
Everyone has a family as a solid foundation for their mind and body.
The author emphasizes that the time and memories shared with family and love will never fade, no matter what the circumstances.
"Frozen Human Lee Si-hoo" conveys a theme that resonates with all generations and leaves a deep impression.

“If I add my wish, it might become a little stronger.”
A voice that becomes stronger when we stand together with one heart

From the first day he goes to school in District 44, Si-hoo is met with prickly gazes from the 'Haedong-in'.
As time goes by, the number of children who bully Sihoo, who is different from other children in many ways, increases.
“I said it would be a bad choice to let people know that I am a Haedong person.
I agree too… … People tend to feel uncomfortable with things that are different from themselves.” (Page 63) There are only three Haedong-in students at the school that Si-hoo attends.
Shifu, and the twins 'Henri' and 'Perry'.

One day, Si-hoo, tired of the prejudiced gaze, suggests to Henri and Perry that they participate in a singing contest as children's Haedong-in and say what they want to say to the world.
Sihoo's niece of the same age, Bora, and the three Haedong-in prepare for the competition together, write songs, and prepare for the stage, becoming closer and closer.
And through the way we see each other right in front of us, we learn that we can each resist the unjust reality in our own ways.
“Yes, I have an experience that is unique to me.
I have my own songs and stories.
Maybe, maybe… … .
“I didn’t know that my experience might be helpful to someone.” (p. 129)

From the beginning to the end of the story, children, including Shi-hoo, as well as many adults, are not free from the influence of the cryonics company 'Frozen'.
Frozen is a powerful force that holds the power over the life and death of sick people for greater profit.
The discrimination against the children of Haedong, including Shihu, was also directed at Frozen.
Shifu refuses to become a model to suit Frozen's taste, and decides to resist Frozen, who holds hands with Henri and Perry and shakes the lives of the weak.
“No matter how huge the iceberg is, if you hold a match to it, if a lot of people hold it for a long time” (page 129), I believe that you can throw an egg at a rock.
Seeing children learn that they are stronger when they speak with others rather than alone gives hope to both children and adult readers.
The author's ability to critically capture and delicately interpret social issues is admirable.
