The Village that Formed the Backdrop of Twelve Novels: The Literary Village of Kim Yujung   By Son Yun-gwon on Nov 10 2014 23:01:50 Vol.2 Winter 2008 Located in a cozy village surrounded by mountains, the Literary Village contains the life and stories of novelist Kim Yujung. It was a place that was once so poor, it was difficult just to get by. Here, the characters in Kim Yujung's story, weary yet full of laughter, come to life.   When lakes, fog, dakgalbi (a spicy chicken dish), mime festivals, the pop song “Soyang River Girl,” and the TV mini-series Winter Sonata are mentioned, the city of Chuncheon is the first place that comes to most Koreans’ minds. Chuncheon is also the birthplace of the writer Kim Yujung (1908-1937), who died prematurely of tuberculosis, leaving behind such classic folk works as Spring ∙ Spring and Dongbaekggot (Yellow Ginger Blossom)1 . His essay collection, A Mountain Valley in May, published one year before his death, was a dedication to his hometown.
