The stories behind their books

“I learned a lot while publishing I Love You Every Day two years ago.”

“This was the first book that made me cry while reading it to the children.”

“Likewise, I'm really into Stewart Lee Allen's *In the Devil's Garden: A Sinful History of Forbidden Food*, which is now out of print. It's kind of a world history told through food.”

“Excuse me Jungkook has bought a copy of Crying in H Mart!!!!!”

“So I started reading Guillaume Musso's books. As I read love stories such as Save Me and The Paper Girl, I wanted to read other kinds of stories too.”

“I hope this book can offer even a little strength and comfort to those standing at a crossroads of choice or feeling exhausted and weary.”

“Writer! I read Human Acts in the military. Congratulations.”

“Achilles. I really love that book.”

“I also ordered Chinese House, the previous work by Quiet Malgan, right away, and am reading it now.”

“We also read it very carefully like this. Right before it came out, we were really meticulous about the parts that were wrong...”

“Joan Didion’s *Blue Nights*.”

“Even when I read books, I imagine all the scenes as I go.”

“헌책방에서 우연히 만난 책인데요. 생태와 자유가 마침 제가 찾고 있던 주제였어요. 당시 제 안의 가치들이 무너져 내리고 있는 듯한 느낌이 들었는데, 책을 읽으면서 돌아가야 할 곳은 어디인지, 앞으로 찾아나가야 할 것은 무엇인지 실마리가 됐던 것 같아요.”

“I think every artist should read it at least once”

“I wanted to build my own stage with “Ruby.””

“The fact that I got through today without any trouble helps me get through the next day. The small joys of everyday life become the links that connect life.”

“There’s a book by bell hooks called All About Love. It’s still my favorite work. Picking a favorite is so hard, especially for someone like me. (laughs) It taught me about the importance of community and how to create a culture where love can exist. So it also made me reflect a lot on my work with LE SSERAFIM. I think I would have come to this realization much later if I hadn’t read this book. The timing of when I read it, too, makes it a meaningful book. I’ve talked about it a lot with the members, so the memories I have connected with All About Love are incredibly precious to me.”

“Perhaps it was a book that comforted and encouraged me at the time, as I acknowledged that period—which may have been full of mistakes and failures—and worked toward a better future.”

“Please show lots of interest in my yoga book.”

“The book I read quickly and enjoyed just as much is Dante’s Divine Comedy. Turning each page is so enjoyable and fun.”

“Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince”

“The photo and title on the cover caught my eye. Once I finish the books I’m reading now, I’d really like to read it if I have time.”

“This is exactly where my heart is.”

“I was just about to recommend a work called Solaris.”

““I was drawn to the line on the first page of this book, ‘You’re crazy because of the person you love,’ so I bought it right away and read it.””

“I even recommended If We Cannot Go at the Speed of Light on Weverse.”

“I think it’s nice because I can write down the things I like—something I can enjoy at least a little—as part of my routine.”

“The book you gave me—I’ve read this book several times.”

“Because I enjoyed reading Animal Farm so much”

“I have it open to a page.”

“It was my first time being photographed wearing lingerie, so please pay attention.”

““A favorite book? The one I read this time was My Own Secret.””

““An exquisitely beautiful and abundant work of art, meticulously refined over thousands of years.””

“Although many stories I didn’t want to make public became known, I had never properly told my own story. As I kept those things bottled up, they began to fester.”

“I had to appear on a broadcast and comment, and I referred to *The Temperature of Language* at the time.”

“That's pretty ingenious, though—but wow!! I honestly don't quite get the whole pure, devoted love vibe.”
