[Information]
Sung Hae-na, a writer recognized for her meticulous research, meticulous composition, distinctive characters, and powerful yet chilling narratives, has garnered attention from critics and readers alike, ushering in a new era of realism. She presents her second collection of short stories, "Honmono."

In her first collection, "Light When You Walk Away" (Munhakdongne Publishing, 2022), she portrayed her attempts to understand others with a gentle and warm gaze. In her first full-length novel, "The Summer We Left Behind" (Changbi Publishing, 2023), she sought to offer a poignant farewell to a past marred by misunderstanding and separation. With "Honmono," she brings a sharper sense of critical thinking and a captivating narrative to vividly portray the landscape of our times, examining the diverse boundaries that divide us—region, politics, generation, and more.

This collection of short stories especially draws attention as it includes the title piece "Honmono," which was a constant hit last year and swept the literary world, as well as "Guilty Club: Touching the Tiger," which won the author the Young Writer's Award for two consecutive years, and "Smooth," which was selected as both the Novel of the Season and the Problem Novel of the Year. "Honmono" shines with "a talent that makes one jealous" (recommendation, Lee Ki-ho) as much as it does "the author's 'spirit'" (recommendation, Park Jeong-min). The future of Korean literature that we have long awaited has arrived right before us.
