Kim Jung-hyuk is a Korean author and cartoonist. [1]
Born in Kimcheon, North Gyeongsang Province in 1971, Kim has written professional book reviews for an online bookstore, handled DVDs for a bookstore that specializes in art, writing music columns for a pop culture magazine, and contributed for a restaurant industry magazine. In addition to literature, he is interested in a wide range of fields. Given his interest in drawing and cartoons, he has drawn his own illustrations for his story collections and works freelance as a cartoonist. [2]
Characters with unusual personalities or rare jobs also appear in his stories: a “conceptual inventor” who confines himself underground and invents useless concepts; a man who wanders in search of “Banana, Inc.” with a rough map left behind by a friend who committed suicide; a map surveyor who searches for his direction in life, using a wooden Eskimo map.
This focus on objects instead of characters is extremely unusual[ according to whom?] in Korean fiction. [3]
