Shoko's Smile

Stories

By: Choi Eunyoung

A bestselling and award-winning debut collection from one of South Korea's most prominent young writers. In crisp, unembellished prose, Eun-young Choi paints intimate portraits of the lives of young women in South Korea, balancing the personal with the political. In the title story, a fraught friendship between an exchange student and her host sister follows them from adolescence to adulthood. In "A Song from Afar," a young woman grapples with the death of her lover, traveling to Russia to search for information about the deceased. In "Secret," the parents of a teacher killed in the Sewol ferry sinking hide the news of her death from her grandmother. In the tradition of Sally Rooney, Banana Yoshimoto, and Marilynne Robinson--writers from different cultures who all take an unvarnished look at human relationships and the female experience--Choi Eunyoung is a writer to watch.

Peach Heaven

By: Yangsook Choi

“What is the best thing about where you live? Share something unusual about it.” I smiled as I wrote “Peaches.” The peaches grown in Bucheon are the best in all of South Korea, and a rare treat for a young Yangsook. She dreams of a peach orchard where she can play and eat as much of the delicious fruit as she wishes. Then one day, after hours of a sudden heavy downpour, the sky begins to rain peaches. Yangsook finds herself in peach heaven—until she remembers the farmers who have lost their harvest and decides she must help them. Fully revised and re-illustrated, Peach Heaven is a timeless ode to human kindness and childhood wonder based on the author’s early life.

The Enigmatic Coat of Fathers : An Engineer's Son's Emotional Journal

By: Yeong Hwan Choi

The Enigmatic Coat of Fathers : An Engineer's Son's Emotional Journal I am a writer. And ironically, I struggle with words. Despite publishing books, I often find more comfort in equations than in sentences. Perhaps it's because I come from a background in engineering and the sciences. This latest book, however, is about my father. Korean fathers, unlike their Western counterparts, are shaped by Confucian traditions. They are stoic, burdened with the weight of financial responsibility, and rarely express emotion. An emotionally detached son, like me, never truly understood his father. And now, this son is attempting to write about him. But much like the first paragraph of this text, this one also feels awkward. How can someone who neither understands the emotions of others nor expresses his own, write about family ties? It's a contradiction I live with every day. My father, every day as he left for work, wore a strange coat. And now, as his son—a man defined by an XY chromosome and an inability to grasp emotions—I find myself standing before his death, attempting to decipher our emotions through numbers and formulas. As you know, South Korea faces a grave demographic challenge, with low birth rates and an aging population. The youth are avoiding marriage, even shying away from relationships altogether. Why is that? Could it be, in some way, due to the "mysterious coat"? When I was young, Korean fathers seemed like towering mountains—imposing, distant, unapproachable. But when I faced my father's cold, lifeless body, why did those once-broad shoulders seem so small and frail? In this wheel of emotional contradictions, can we ever truly understand one another? This is the story of a son and his father, intertwined in the equations of pain and the waves of emotion. Have you solved the mystery yet?

The Illusion Mirror

The Transformation of a Finnish Girl Studying Abroad in Korea

By: Yeong Hwan Choi

The Illusion Mirror : The Transformation of a Finnish Girl Studying Abroad in Korea Do we truly possess free will? Is the self a real entity, or is it merely an illusion? Irena Löykanto, once a Finnish scholar studying civil engineering in South Korea, found herself entangled in a shocking theory. Through her exploration of fluid dynamics, hydrology, and soil mechanics, she began to suspect that the world she lived in might be a simulation. To her, everything in existence—soil, water, air, even light—felt like moving "data packets" within an artificial design. Her research blurred the line between reality and fiction, leading her to the unsettling realization that the universe itself might be nothing more than an elaborate illusion, like a mirror reflecting endlessly. Even after her time, she exists within someone’s record, gazing at us from the void, questioning the concept of the "self" and realizing how hollow the idea of free will truly is. In the end, she understands that what we’ve trusted as free will was just another part of nature, governed by unseen forces. The Illusion Mirror poses profound philosophical questions about self, reality, and fate, challenging the reader to reflect deeply. Do we really have the power to choose our path, or is everything already designed as part of someone else’s plan? As you follow Irena’s journey, the boundaries between illusion and truth blur, and you may find yourself questioning whether your own life is part of a grand simulation. By chance or destiny, you've come across this book—but perhaps that, too, was predetermined.

Korean Folk Songs

Stars in the Sky and Dreams in Our Hearts [14 Sing Along Songs with the Audio CD included]

By: Robert Choi

In Korean Folk Songs, music teacher Robert Choi shares 14 of Korea's best-loved classic children's songs—with musical scores and lyrics in both Korean and English. Born and bred in Chicago, Choi's parents raised their son with a keen appreciation for their native Korean culture. The traditional melodies they taught him left a deep impression. Included in this collection are well-known children's songs such as "Splashing Around" and "Mountain Rabbit" that incorporate fun actions and gestures. Also traditional standards that have been passed down from generation to generation, such as "Blue Birds" and "Arirang." Each Korean children's song features a musical score with the lyrics in Korean script and romanized form, and an English version of the lyrics. Historical and cultural notes are included and for the children's songs, Choi describes the accompanying actions. An audio CD contains recordings of all the songs, along with tracks that allow you to sing along. Every page has beautiful full-color illustrations of traditional Korean scenes by the talented Korean artist SamEe Back. Just as songs like "Home on the Range" or "Oh! Susanna" are part of traditional American culture, the songs in Korean Folk Songs are a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in Korean culture, history and language.

Once Upon an Hour

By: Ann Yu-Kyung Choi

Key Selling Points Combining a bedtime story with a folktale set in ancient Korea, this is a story within a story that is ultimately about the importance of working together to achieve a common goal. The author is Korean and was prompted to write this story when she realized that many of the stories she was told as a child through oral storytelling would be lost to her daughter and to a generation of young Korean Canadians/Americans who no longer read or speak Korean. The illustration process for this book was laborious and included the use of sketching and painting techniques to create three-dimensional dioramas that were then photographed. The author was recognized by the Korean Canadian Heritage Awards Committee in 2017 for her dedication to promoting Korean culture in Canada.
