Hi Charles,
thank you for writing about my blog.
I never expected anything like this to happen to me and it feels great!
I am a senior at Seoul Global High School and lately I’ve been feeling a bit stressed out because of schoolwork and the coming season of college applications. Naturally, updating my blog every week or so has been something of a burden too. But! reading your post, I felt really happy and thankful and I gained a lot of confidence both in my writing and in myself. And confidence is something I’ve lacked for a long time.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement. You don’t know how much it means to me

Dear Haryung,

Congratulations on following your own dream! And doing your collegiate work in the US (or any English speaking country) will certainly help you become a translator.

LOL – or you could come here to 둥국대학교 and join our Translation and Interpretation Department. ^^

Hello, this is Haryung, a freshman at Korea Minjok Leadership Academy.
I have read your post about my term paper and the other’s and wanted to gratitude for it.
Writing was kind of my inborn trait which I had to follow. My family wanted me to regard writing as a hobby, not a job, since they knew that being a writer would not make much money in Korea. Despite of their expectations toward me to have such idolized jobs, doctors or lawyers, I kept stating my passion toward literature till they admit and agree with it. Translation, which I also hope to work during life, include translation of my own and other Korean writers both novel and poem. I believe that Korean literature has enough power and attractiveness to be loved by foreign readers and I want to spread it by translation. Thus, I am planning to major English literature at university in America, since I thought learning at American university will be much helpful for me to understand how English literature works and how I have to translate naturally. Reading your comments, I was very charged and again promised myself to keep working hard to be a good writer and translator. Thank you so much, and I wonder to have an opportunity to meet you someday.

First of all, your blog makes me very interested in diverse types of Korean literatures that I had not been much attracted by yet but have been trying with sincere interest. Particularly introducing well-known literatures and writers like Go-eun and getting to know about them are pretty much fascinating chances for me to deeply look into the Korean literatures. I definitely wish that I drop by your blogs more often so that I can nurture myself with literary susceptibility. Thanx a lot.

By the way, I was flown to this website by the help of “Blogs 10 Loves of 10 Magazine Korea (http://www.10mag.com)”. When clikcing on other links such as Wine Korea, there are contents introducing
various types of wine in English and having other useful information. When firstly looking at the word “Morning Calm” linking to your blog, however, I didn’t really guess what this site would be about.
Korea used to be called, “the land of Morning Calm”.. Does the name of your blog have something to do with it? I would like to know why the 10 Magazine Korea introduces your blog as Morning Calm. This is kind of ridiculous question but I would like to know it.

Thanx.

Hi, this is Soyeon.
I was fascinated to find out your blog and audio clip.
I am a writer, studied film making at dongguk university actually. ^^

recently, I am seriously thinking about publishing in korean as well as english.
I can communicate in english but don’t think my english is enough to translate and publish.

It would be great if you can reply and give me an advice.
thank you very much.

Did you ever consider the idea of translating the fantasy book Stigmergy into Corean language?
There is a strong request for this book on the market, it could be quite interesting.
Think about it.
You may find it here:
