i'm still unsure of what to read for this month, but i think i'm going to read kim jinyoung born 1982. it was controversial in south korea & what got me wanting to read it was several idols had read it & received a lot of hate from reading it. i have it on preorder since it is set to come out this month.

I was curious about this too! May also read it. Wasn’t it also made into a movie with Gong Yoo or am I thinking of a different book

That's the one! Jung Yumi is the lead, it did pretty well at the box office too.

(Dispiriting though, to see how many South Korean men treated the mere existence of the book as a personal insult)

Dispiriting but not surprising 🙁

I've been curious about that one, too.
