Kim Woo-gyeong is a South Korean children's literature writer born in 1957 in Sancheong, Gyeongsangnam-do. She began her literary career by winning the Busan Cultural Broadcasting New Writer Award in 1989. Kim Woo-gyeong's fairy tales ad-dress the consciousness of life being destroyed by humans.
"Still Flowing are the Lines" (선들내는 아직도 흐르네) depicts the stories of local grandfathers who were conscripted during the modern history of Korea and grandmothers who were taken as comfort women. The narrative also portrays the lives of animals that lose their homes due to urban development. In her full-length fairy tales, Kim Woo-gyeong tends to transform old Korean stories into modern fairy tales, incor-porating elements of fantasy and fable.
Her works often touch on the issues of conscription, wartime suffering, and the impact of urban development on both human and animal lives.
