So Min-ho: Woo Jang-chun: A plant breeder who contributed to the self-sufficiency of vegetable seeds and the resolution of food shortages.

Volume 39 of the "Textbook Biographies for Lower Grades," titled "Woo Jang-chun: The World-Renowned Plant Breeder Who Created Seedless Watermelons," aids in children's character development and value formation. It covers the lives of great figures who overcame adversity through passion and effort to achieve great accomplishments. Fifty-three children's literature authors were invited to present historical events in an engaging way, tailored to a child's perspective. Readers can identify which great figures lived in each era and what major events occurred. The introduction provides guidance on reading instruction, while a chronology at the end guides readers to trace the footsteps of these figures. Dr. Woo Jang-chun's childhood was far from a comfortable and happy one. He lost his father at the age of five, and at six, due to severe financial hardship, he was separated from his mother and lived in an orphanage. However, even in such circumstances, he did not despair or give up, but steadfastly walked his own path. He left behind achievements that greatly benefited the lives of farmers, such as developing vegetable seeds that thrive in our land.
