Book Review: Jamong Salgu Club
Apr 4, 2026 Seoyeon Kim product.kyobobook.co.kr Not strongly recommended. While the book attempts to explore serious themes such as youth, pain, and the desire to live, it sometimes feels like it treats the topic of suicide too lightly or too casually. Although it is readable and emotionally engaging at moments, I personally found it difficult to fully recommend. Jamong Salgu Club is not a simple coming-of-age story. It deals with heavy issues such as depression, abuse, isola

Book Review: Pride and Prejudice
Apr 1, 2026 Seoyeon Kim www.imdb.com Highly recommended. Even though many people are already familiar with this novel, it never loses its charm no matter how many times it is read.

Book Review: The Giver
Mar 15, 2026 Seoyeon Kim www.barnesandnoble.com At first, The Giver seems like a simple dystopian story about a perfectly organized society. Everything in the community is controlled so that no one experiences pain, conflict, or deep emotion. Life appears calm and safe.

To achieve this stability, th

Book Review: Rapid Current
Mar 3, 2026 Seoyeon Kim minumsa.minumsa.com In Rapid Current by Jung Dae-geon love is never separate from consequence. The novel opens with the bright recklessness of adolescence as Dodam and Haesol fall for each other in a quiet town edged by reservoirs and valleys. Their first bond is formed through rescue, a moment in rushing water that feels cinematic and pure. That purity fractures when they uncover their parents’ secret affair. The confrontation at the valley at night,
