Features: A bestseller in Korea, reprinted 58 times, with over 2,000,000 copies sold! It has held the top spot on bestseller lists for 18 consecutive months! The Thoughts of Gwangsoo is a three-volume comic collection by Park Gwangsoo. Through the character "Shin Borye," Park Gwangsoo gathers everyday small moments—both those that happen to others and those that happen to himself. The comics are highly philosophical, with each section offering a moral lesson or a thought-provoking insight. The book has received high praise in Korea and has been compared to Popeye's spinach, giving people endless strength; sometimes, it's likened to mint candy, refreshing the soul; at other times, it leaves one feeling empty, prompting a desire to seek more; it can also make one feel oppressed, longing for relief; and sometimes, it brings laughter, followed by a deep sense of emotion. The Thoughts of Gwangsoo represents the highest achievement in contemporary Korean comic creation, with annual sales exceeding 1,500,000 copies and ranking at the top of Korea's comic bestseller lists for three consecutive years.
