Kim Jiseo
김지서
Born in January 1997, Kim Jiseo studied Korean literature and wrote a full-length novel titled Yosanyosu (Love for Mountains and River).
Her second full-length novel Yeopjibui Bihonjuuijadeul (Celibate Neighbors) revolves around Sujin, a thirty-three-year-old woman determined to live a single life. The story centers around Sujin and her female housemates who share this lifestyle, forming a community known as the “delinquent girls.” With their distinct personalities, these five kindred spirits coexist under one roof.
Through these characters, Kim skillfully weaves narratives that blend five different perspectives on a single life with social perceptions, which resonates with anyone who has contemplated such a lifestyle. As a persistent and humorous writer capable of crafting individual yet universally appealing stories, Kim has once again created a unique literary world.
