Events at KCCs abroad

Korean author Kim Soo-Hyun visits PH for book signing


South Korean author and illustrator Kim Soo Hyun is in Manila to meet the Filipino readers who sought comfort and healing through her books “I Decided to Live as Me” and “Being Comfortable Without Effort.” 


“Other than its pretty visuals, it was embedded to me that because it made me stop doubting myself. I came to understand that you need to be understood by everyone,“ Mikee Maralit, who read the former title, shared. 


Kim is slated to hold her very first book-signing event in the country on Saturday, September 16, as part of the festivities of the Manila International Book Fair. 


While self-help books often attempt to motivate readers to transform their lives and push themselves to be exceptional achievers, the Korean best-sellers encourage individuals to proudly, sincerely, and unapologetically be themselves.


Each photo essay in the book was boldly drawn from Kim’s personal experience. 


“On social media everyone wants to show how shiny they are but on the other hand, we forget that they also have their weakness,” the author explained.
