[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] The Department of Cultural Contents at Gyeongnam National University recently announced on the 10th that it has published an e-book titled 'Ige Mwigo,' which captures the lives and perspectives of local university students in their 20s.

This book is the result of the first-year major course 'Creative Thinking and Storytelling 2' in the Department of Cultural Contents, with the 2021 enrolled students responsible for all aspects of the book's publication, including planning, creation, promotion, editing, and cover design.

The book consists of a total of 12 works, including essays and novels reflecting the perspectives of young people adapting to new lives as university students, as well as a wide spectrum of web novels that traverse reality and fantasy worlds.

Additionally, it includes interviews with Chinese international students about their lives and experiences, presented in both Korean and Chinese, adding diversity to the content.

The independent publishing project by Gyeongnam National University Cultural Contents students began in 2018 and is now in its fourth year. The e-book published this time can be purchased for free on the independent publishing site 'Bookk.'

Professor An Chae-rin, the supervising professor, said, "I believe discovering new stories is the core of the K-culture market," adding, "I hope students experienced the charm of cultural content planning and production through the process of expressing their ideas and completing them as works."
