Today, I was joined by author Kim Cho-yeop, whom I adore so much.

She is someone who doesn't usually appear on YouTube.

It is truly a legendary event... I would say (I am deeply moved).

I often go around saying that 80% of what made me who I am is SF, martial arts, and fantasy.

That shows just how much I fundamentally respect genre fiction writers.

However, after actually having a conversation with Cho-yeop,

I experienced that respect growing about fivefold.

In any creative field, it is rare to find someone who can verbalize the cognitive processes occurring within their own brain this clearly.

It was truly entertaining to listen to. I thought, "So that is how you do a thought experiment..."

She is definitely not appearing on this for the purpose of promoting a new book,

but due to delays in video production, the release of her new book happened to overlap with her schedule.

Please read and love author Cho-yeop's new endeavor, 'Olive Under the Sun.'

Thank you for watching the video today!
