'Wa Na' is a magazine launched by the Samsung Foundation of Culture in May last year. It is a 'One-Theme' magazine that selects one topic in the field of arts and highlights it centered on people, published three times a year with 5,000 copies per issue.

The third issue features Creative Director Jung Guho as guest editor-in-chief and focuses on the theme of 'Writing,' presenting writings from figures in various fields.

Twelve contributors, including writers Kim Yeonsu, Jung Jidon, Shim Neoul, Yoo Young, poet Cha Hyunjun, installation artist Kim Yonggwan, editor Kim Nwiyeon, travel writer Hanrang, webtoon artist Jellybean (Hong Woorim), graphic designer Yang Minyoung, translator Shin Yujin, and independent bookstore owner Kim Minchae, freely express their thoughts on the theme 'What does writing mean to me?'

Guest editor-in-chief Jung Guho said, “Before reading and understanding letters, I wanted to propose an attitude of ‘seeing’ first, hoping to offer a new challenge about what visual thinking and imagining while reading feels like,” adding, “I hope readers interpret the writings in their own way and find their own meanings.”

'Wa Na' can be found at libraries nationwide, cultural institutions, and major complex cultural spaces.
