Selected as the representative artist of the Korean Pavilion at the Gothenburg Book Fair 2022!
The global environmental crisis clock, currently at 9:47 – if it reaches 12:00, ∙∙∙∙∙∙!
Warnings about the global environment and hope for humanity are captured in dynamic yet extremely detailed realistic expressions. It is difficult to say at what point in the book the story that started in reality passed into imagination, but only when the reader reaches the end of the story, does he realize that he has finished imagining and returned to reality. However, that reality also creates excitement and resilience in the sophisticated scene composition and directing that continues through the time loop and stays in the ambiguity of the imagination and real world.

Lee Gihun
(English) I like to take a nap on a hazy afternoon, to run around with my three children who still play tag with their father, to tell stories and to draw, to make silent picture books, and to travel around the world with my beloved wife. I have won the 2013 BIB Children's Jury Award and was selected as the '2010 MENTION' given to only two illustrators along with the 'Selected Illustrators' at the 2010 BCBF.
