이금이 (Lee Geum-yi) (Korea)
Korean children's and young adult literature author Lee Geumyi began her writing career in 1984, during a period of new exploration in Korean children's literature. Over the next 40 years, she produced more than 50 works, capturing the hearts of readers and critics alike, spanning from children to adults, and leading the growth of children's literature and the emergence and expansion of young adult literature.
Notable works include the Bamtee Village Story quartet, which continued due to long-standing requests from young readers; the full-length fairy tale You Too Are a Twilight Lily, which elevated the literary quality of Korean children's literature; and Yujin and Yujin, which resonated deeply with the wounds carried by contemporary youth and marked the beginning of serious young adult literature. These works have consistently received much love from children, teens, and adults.
She is also expanding her literary world with historical novels such as Can't I go instead? and The Picture Bride. Recently, she has been revising some of her earlier works to align with the changed sensibilities of the times.
In 2024, she was selected as a finalist for the Hans Christan Andersen Award in the Author category.
