Gokseong-gun 'Author Kim Tak-hwan Invited Book Talk' Successfully Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Heo Seon-sik] The Gokseong-gun Future Education Foundation in Jeollanam-do (Chairman Yoo Geun-gi) announced on the 3rd that it held a book talk with author Kim Tak-hwan at the author's writing studio on the 29th of last month.

The book talk, co-hosted by the Gokseong Education Hope Coalition, agricultural company Misillan Co., Ltd., and the Gokseong-gun Future Education Foundation, was organized to celebrate the new work of author Kim Tak-hwan, who has been residing in Gokseong since early this year, titled "How Did You Come to Me?" and to share discussions about the work.

"How Did You Come to Me?" is the author's 30th full-length novel, following 25 years of consistently writing historical novels such as "Immortal Yi Sun-sin" and "I, Hwang Jin-i," as well as socially conscious novels like "I Will Live" and "The Beautiful One is a Person."

The book talk was attended by about 30 participants, including members of the humanities learning community and local residents who love literature, providing an opportunity for deep and intimate communication with the author.

On this day, author Kim Tak-hwan opened his writing studio located within Misillan Co., Ltd. to the local community for the first time and said, "When I was young, I dreamed of becoming a world-renowned author, but now I hope to become a 'village novelist.'"

Meanwhile, through his connection with farmer-scientist and Misillan Co., Ltd. CEO Lee Dong-hyun, Kim published a book titled "Beauty is to Protect" in August last year and continues his creative work while actually residing in Gokseong.
