Description 작품 소개

It is the first collection of short stories in Gangnamju, and contains nine works in total. These works consistently look at the old age problems faced by Korean society with a calm and firm perspective. The appearance of old age in our time, drawn with realistic materials and a style without exaggeration, resembles the main character of the title work, which is now isolated and has a separate room while no one is paying attention.

The main axis of the story is a number of conflicts that begin when an elderly couple uses a separate room. The elderly couple in the novel use each room for a while, and after accidentally watching the news of their sudden death, they decide to share a room again. It is sad to say that the reason for the union of a couple who have lived together for most of their lives is to prevent death, but the novel eloquently says that it is a problem that many elderly couples are actually facing.
