Yi-sak Kim embarked on her literary career after receiving an excellence award at the Golden Bough’s 1st Urban Fantasy Contest. Kim holds a keen interest in history, women, mysterious events, and monstrous creatures, aiming to weave narratives that restore erased voices. She contributed “Aegwi” (Sorrowful Ghost) to the women’s narrative anthology Gamgyeojin Nun Araee (Beneath Veiled Eyes) and “Dasi Sseuneun Janghanga” (Rewriting Changhenge, the Song of Everlasting Regret) to the collection of old short tales titled Yawonhasigok (A Wolf Howling Beneath Night Clouds). Kim’s first full-length novel, Hanseongbu, Dal Balgeun Bame (Hanseongbu on a Moonlit Night), was selected for a Hallyu (Korean wave) content support project hosted by Seoul Business Agency.
