Song Byung-soo (1932-2009) is a South Korean novelist. He began his literary career in 1957 when his short story “Ssyori kim” (쑈리 킴 Shorty Kim) was published in Literary Art’s special issue for new writers. The theme of his works were the bleak reality of the Korean War, the brutality of war, and human love for the war victims. In particular, he painted a keen portrait of the hypocrisy and wickedness of Koreans as well as human consciousness in the existential crisis of war. l  Collection Songbyeongsu jakpumjip (송병수작품집 Collected Works of Song Byung-soo) (2010)
