Im Seong-gwan: Countdown

The poems in this home are the characters of the youth, as were the originals. The reason why youth continues to be the main character is that we find ourselves in the field and feel naturally. Of course, I've already become an older generation, and there are many things that I don't understand because I don’t know 100% of them. So it's also a poem of attempts to understand and sympathize with them. A group of students from a recent senior high school in Myoshi read my book, picked out what reached their hearts and told them why. Although the process was a reflection of their lives on the outside and an imitation, it also created feelings of shame, and yet it was a source of admiration for the other side of youth's empathy. So, I got married again. Writing has the power to make people grow. Writing poetry, of course, gives you the opportunity to look back at yourself through intuition or implication. So I want young people who are counting their countdowns, waiting for their potential to burst through self-awareness, to read a lot of attempts and express their stories directly. I hope this will create the stage.
