Im Ok-in (1915-1995) was a South Korean novelist. She debuted in 1940 when her short stories “Bongseonhwa” (봉선화 Balsam) and “Hucheogi” (후처기 The Third Wife) were published in the magazine Munjang. Her stories tend to feature main characters who are hopeful instead of being discouraged by their miserable circumstances, demonstrating how conflict and pain can enrich a person’s life. Im won the Liberty Literary Award (자유문학상) in 1957.
