Description 작품 소개

A page-turner that readers won't be able to put down! This sequel was born out of the overwhelmingly enthusiastic response to the first volume of “Still Fifteen for 500 years.” Drawing inspiration from the captivating legend of Dangun, Korea's foundation myth, "Still Fifteen for 500 years" takes readers on an immersive journey into the mesmerizing universe of the Yaho and Horang tribes. Featuring a remarkable protagonist who has been fifteen years old for five hundred years, this work of fantasy offers a fresh perspective on ancient Korean legends. The book has been praised as an engaging read that readers will have a hard time putting down. Gaeul, the protagonist of this book, is a nuanced representation of a typical teenager caught between the worlds of childhood and adulthood. She also makes for the perfect fantasy novel protagonist thanks to her sharp problem-solving skills. In the first volume, readers witnessed Gaeul's journey of personal growth as she discovered the true meaning of her existence along with her calling through the bonds she formed with others. Now, in this sequel, Gaeul faces an even greater challenge: to bear the weight of the first bead and rise to become the leader of the Yahorang. Gaeul, the first leader of the Yahorang, sets out on a journey to protect everyone! Gaeul, who harbors a crush on her classmate Shinwoo, may seem like any ordinary middle school girl—but she is the leader of both the Yaho tribe, who evolved from foxes, and the Horang tribe, who evolved from tigers. Gaeul manages to reconcile the two tribes who had been at odds for hundreds of years to form a single tribe called the Yahorang, ushering in an era of peace. Such peace is short-lived, however, as a pharmaceutical company threatens to expose the existence of the ageless Yahorang to the world. In order to solve the problem, Gaeul goes undercover as an adult and enters the company, where she secretly gathers information. However, such action gets her ousted from her position as the tribe leader, which leads the Yahorang to contemplate the option of launching an attack on humans. With the future of Yahorang and the safety of humanity hanging in the balance, Gaeul is reminded of a special bead Susu once gave to Shinwoo and embarks on a thrilling mission to protect both the Yahorang and humans in an exciting series of events that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats. Featuring the much-anticipated and heart-melting love story between Gaeul and Shinwoo! This sequel will inspire readers to live each day to the fullest and never give up! Gaeul and Shinwoo start dating in the third grade of middle school, but Gaeul worries about how their relationship will fare as she is destined to live forever as a fifteen-year-old, while Shinwoo continues to age. However, when Shinwoo expresses his own concerns about appearing too young, Gaeul realizes that she has been so focused on the future that she has lost sight of the present and her relationship with him. This book not only depicts the sweet love story between Gaeul and Shinwoo that readers had been eagerly waiting for, but it also serves as a reminder to teenagers who may be sacrificing their present for the sake of their future, to cherish the here and now.”
