Kim In-seop: Old scenery of Pyeongchang filled with stories
The author, who was born and raised in Pyeongchang, has compiled a book on the region's history, focusing on records from the 1940s through the mid-1980s. What stands out is that this is more than a personal memoir: the author compared personal accounts with historical sources and organized the period using objective research. People from Pyeongchang now living elsewhere will naturally find it moving, and it will also be a great help to anyone, including people from other regions, who needs material on Pyeongchang's modern and contemporary history.
