This is the full text of the English translation of Chung So-hyun’s short story “A Good Girl Like You” in the Bookmark section of KLN Vol. 59. In this story, the protagonist’s daughter Seo-ah is accused of bullying a classmate, and the protagonist comes to face a side of her daughter she’d ignored for years. It bitterly reflects on the gender role of women who are criticized for childrearing, along with the dynamics of victimization and perpetration, from a first-person perspective.

LN 59호 북마크 정소현 작가의 <너같이 착한 아이> 영문번역본 전문이다. <너같이 착한 아이>는 주인공 "나"의 딸 "서아"가 학교폭력 가해자로 지목되면서 "나"가 보고 싶지 않았던 딸의 면모를 알게 된다는 전개로, 피해와 가해의 역학과 더불어 양육의 책임자로서 비난 받는 여성의 성 역할을 1인칭 시점에서 씁쓸하게 자문하는 작품이다.
