Features: A bestseller in Korea, reprinted 58 times, with over 2,000,000 copies sold! It has been at the top of the bestseller list for 18 consecutive months! The Thoughts of Gwangsoo is a comic collection, consisting of three volumes, written by Park Gwangsoo. Through the character "Shin Borye," Park Gwangsoo gathers the small, everyday details of life—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. This book has received high praise in Korea and has been compared to Popeye's spinach, providing endless energy; 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 release; 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 list for three consecutive years.
