Into the book
Are you still vivid in your memory of the coronavirus? If aliens have been observing our planet for two years, they've probably wondered what suddenly happened.
For almost three years, it would have seemed as if humanity had suddenly crouched down and remained quiet.
The many airplanes that used to fly between continents have virtually disappeared.
In fact, if we had not responded quickly with the science and technology of the century, human civilization would likely be in dire straits right now.
--- p.20

For children and adolescents, this can be perceived as a "normal world," as socialization hasn't yet fully completed.
Because the accident is so flexible, we can naturally accept that this world is one of the possible worlds.
In that sense, children and teenagers are truly open readers. I can freely tell them about the world I dream of, the world I want to live in, and they imagine it with a "that could be possible."
I think that's the greatest charm and joy of this genre.
--- p.37

“Io, you are different from me.
You are the last survivor of the E species.
“The E species were special birds. So the voice you need to hear is already within you.” Io laughed, her wings fluttering.
If Young had seen it, would he have praised it? I also enjoyed seeing Io so happy.
As autumn approached, Io often looked up at the southern sky. One day, spreading her feathers, which had become even darker, Io spoke.
“Noah, I think I heard a voice. I mean, now. Will you come with me?”
--- p.52

“Hey, I can’t stand living in Seoul.
It's total hell, hell.
Even if I go outside for just one minute, my whole body is covered in sweat.
“It’s not a place for people to live.” Kim Nam-woo hoped that Hong Hye-hwa would be the same.
So, it may seem like a stupid idea, but I always turned on the air conditioning at home.
“Aren’t you cold? Why are you turning the air conditioner up so high?”
“Global warming is coming soon.”
"what?"
"As temperatures rise nationwide due to the climate crisis, Taebaek will become even hotter. Join us."
--- p.58

We are each a digital copy of someone else.
They are edited for specific purposes, such as colonizing alien planets, and then reborn with a body through a particle printer.
When the job is done, the physical body is discarded, and a digital copy with accumulated experience is deployed to the next site.
There was nothing difficult.
I just hate and feel pain from the unchangeable facts and ontological limitations.
--- p.84

The lowlifes of this era live by realizing the value of 'no-day' or 'weak' things.
It's okay if it's not great.
It's not just any day, so let's talk to the person we like, and let's get angry at the super-objective people on behalf of Sol and Louis.
And let us remember and imagine a little more often that we live in a world intertwined with things smaller than ourselves and things larger and more diverse than ourselves.

--- p.109

In the movie, zombies are mercilessly killed as targets to be eradicated.
Nevertheless, humans struggle to save the zombie humans who are dying in vain.
The way is a vaccine.
Here the director comes up with an interesting idea.
In the film, the interview scene of the doctor researching the zombie virus vaccine featured an actual vaccine researcher at the International Vaccine Institute (IVI), Dr. Sushant Sahastrabudhe.

Publisher's Review
An expanded world of science fiction across various genres and formats.

This issue includes two short stories: "Noah and Io" (Song Woo-deul), a story about an artificial intelligence bird tracking endangered migratory birds that are disappearing, and a human researcher who discover the meaning of life, friendship, and hope while searching for the last surviving individual; and "Seoul Frog" (Kim Dong-sik), a satire on the contradictions of humans set against the backdrop of Taebaek, the only cool city in Korea, which has become hot due to the climate crisis.
Poet Shin Min-gyu, who presented two poems, 『Greenhouse Cheese Gas Recipe』 and 『Long and Short Worm』, presents an imaginative world of poetry with new forms and witty settings.
Kim Chang-gyu's novella "Us," a suspenseful coming-of-age story about children entering a pioneer school, continues in two parts. "Quantum Jump Station" (Sim Ji-seop), a look at science fiction literature, explores and discusses disaster from diverse perspectives through "Not Just Any Day" (Gil Sang-hyo).


In the cartoon corner, 『The Weather That Kills』 by Jeolja and 『The Earth Weather Collector』 by Yongsuk Park provide brief but profound food for thought on the climate crisis.
『Watermelon Man: The Untold Story』(Hanu) and 『The Road to Another World』(SUKU), which have been loved by readers, continue to tell interesting stories.
Author Lee Pong's imaginative space story continues in "Space Sand."
『SF Disaster Radio』 features stories from readers who have experienced disasters firsthand.
You can also find various disaster-related stories in the Question Mark Review and Invitation Column corners.


In addition, the latest SF issues and concepts are introduced through 『Bunker Times』 and 『Bunker Dia』, and 『Bunker Radio』 also has a corner where you can enjoy music that matches the works.
『Bunker K』 No. 6 will take readers on a journey to prepare for the future with imagination in an age of disaster.


Includes an interview with Kim Na-eun, winner of the 11th Han Nak-won Science Fiction Award!

Author Kim Na-eun won the 11th Han Nak-won Science Fiction Award for her work, “If You Put Your Hand in the Gills,” and gained recognition as a new voice in youth science fiction literature.
This work is a novel that explores the meaning of friendship and love through an encounter with an alien life form.
In this interview, the author talks about the power of dignity, love, and solidarity that must be preserved even in times of disaster.
As a leading figure in young adult science fiction, he has expressed his philosophy as a writer to write with the power of truth, on an equal level with young people.
This interview took place at the independent SF bookstore "Flanue Paperper." This space, once home to the SF Market, can be found in the "THE Exploration" section.


"Even if disaster strikes, I won't cry!" The power of imagination in an unpredictable era.

This issue of "Bunker K 6" discusses various types of disasters, from biological disasters to various astronomical disasters and man-made disasters.
In a world where disasters threaten our ordinary lives and where routines and seasons are disappearing, humans still ask questions.
What has been lost and what must be protected.
This issue collects responses from a variety of authors to that question.
Imagination is a survival skill and the power to rebuild a broken world.
Even in the midst of anxiety, we must speak the truth and have hope.
"Bunker K" will weave together those small signals to reveal a world where we can live again.
