[Information]
Kim Young-ha has published the prose collection "One Life Only." This collection, his first since "The Reason for Travel," which garnered over 600,000 readers, features significantly revised and refined essays serialized in 2024 on the paid email subscription service "Sub-zero Weather." "Sub-zero Weather" was a service available only by invitation to early subscribers, generating a buzz and enthusiastic response at the time of its serialization.

"One Life Only" is more personal and intimate than the author's previous prose. Kim Young-ha speaks quietly as one of us, living our one life. The fourteen stories, interwoven with honest family histories and personally experienced moments, offer profound reflections that prompt pause and reflection. How much do we live without knowing each other and ourselves? These thoughts converge on a single question: How should we live the life that lies before us? This book offers neither easy comfort nor cliche advice. Instead, through her candid and honest experiences and concerns, she encourages readers to reflect on their own lives. With "One Life to Live," I encourage you to record scenes from your own lives, discovered during the time you left behind.

"I originally began writing with the intriguing title 'How to Use Life.' However, I soon realized I didn't have much to confidently say about life. All I knew was that I was given 'one life to live.'"
