Sung-Il Kim
Escribo ciencia ficción, fantasía y terror. Quería escribir una novela desde que era preescolar, pero el hecho de que revelara su deseo de ser escritor en la repetición del libro "Las aventuras del barón" escrito en el tercer año de la escuela Kookmin, y que escribiera varias obras de teatro para ser interpretadas en la clase de teatro cuando estaba en la universidad es una pequeña escaria.

She puts the desire to communicate and challenge into her work in the technology sector, specialising in creating digital tools for hard to reach communities.
