Short queer story collection <Kim Kiwoong And I> consists of 2 short stories – ‘Kim Kiwoong And I’, and ‘Homo Hill’. ‘Kim Kiwoong And I’ is a coming-of-age story that is about a gay teenager who goes to a boys’ high school in Korea. It contains Korea’s education system and societal atmosphere of the 2000s as it is an auto-biographical fiction by me. While the main character of ‘Homo Hill’ is older than the main character in ‘Kim Kiwoong And I’ and legally an adult, he is still a young outcast in his early 20s living in the Korean society. The story follows a night he spends in and around Homo Hill, which is a real place in Seoul. The book also includes 6 hand-drawn illustration created by me.

<Seoul+Drag> is a photography and interview book that contains photographs and interviews of 20 Seoul-based drag artists who worked with Seoul Drag Parade – an annual event and organisation that creates spaces and events for Seoul’s drag artists and drag fans. The featured (both Korean and non-Korean) artists talk about what drag means to them, their impression on Seoul’s drag scene, and their role models and inspirations. All content is in both Korean and English.
