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 Puk-gwon is a three-volume comic collection by author Park Puk-gwon. Park Puk-gwon gathers everyday small moments through the character "Shin Borye," including events 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 search for something 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 Puk-gwon 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.
