Timeline

2019

Kim has also been noted for her activism. She signed the Writers’ Declaration 6.9, which petitioned the South Korean government to investigate the deaths of six people during a police raid in 2009, an incident known in South Korea as the “Yongsan Tragedy.” Kim also participated in the writing and production of Gulttuk Shinmun, a newspaper dedicated to the controversial mass layoffs conducted by Ssangyong Motor Company in 2009. More recently, she was an active member of “With No References,” a project to help victims of sex crimes reported within South Korean literary circles.

Kim So Yeon’s poetry often describes the physical experience of pain in youth. This characteristic is particularly evident in her first poetry collection. The poems are filled with the sense of fatigue, futility, loneliness, and emptiness one feels when looking back on past hardships. Her third poetry collection Nunmuriraneun ppyeo (눈물이라는 뼈 Bones Called Tears) is also replete with such lyricism. Literary critic Park Sang-su has called Kim “a martyr of tears.” In her recent work, Kim does not simply present sadness as a personal condition, but as a potentially communal experience. Her poetry sits somewhere between conventional lyric poetry and avant-garde poetry, which was popular among young South Korean poets in the 2000s.

Kim’s fourth poetry collection Suhakjaui achim (수학자의 아침 A Mathematician’s Morning) won the 12th Yi Yuksa Poetry Award and received the following commentary from the judges: “Using language that alternates between refreshingly lucid and boldly convoluted, Kim bridges the gap between the older generation who fought for a reason and the younger generation who clamor without a reason.”

The word “lonely” is not an adjective. It is an action verb that moves energetically. People seek the words “I’m lonely” when they can no longer bear how empty they feel, and then release the words. Already within loneliness is a stirring energy unable to cope with itself. That energy transforms the state of loneliness into an action verb.

Compared to the word loneliness, “melancholy” reacts more to the environment outside the self than to the inner self. More precisely, it is a reaction to the relationship between the mind and the environment outside the self. If loneliness gazes at its surroundings, melancholy investigates those surroundings. After investigating what surrounds the heart, the drop in the heart’s temperature as it absorbs the environment’s own low temperature—that is melancholy.
