The book that sparked—and led—the nationwide handwriting-transcription trend.
The No.1 bestselling writing book sold in the past five years.
A world of transcription more engaging than Shorts or Reels!

Author Yoo Sun-kyung, the top-selling writer in vocabulary-development books such as Adult Vocabulary and Emotion Vocabulary, and a key figure behind the transcription boom, newly defines humans as Homo expíngo, “beings who express.” She proposes a journey of understanding the world more deeply and discovering one’s true self through expressive ability. Life Pattern Korea.
She emphasizes that reading and transcription are the most effective tools for this journey, and explains that with steady transcription practice, anyone can cultivate the ability to express their own thoughts and emotions fully.

The book is structured into four main parts.
In “Step One: Becoming Familiar with Expression,” readers learn “expression as discovery” through lines rich with literary depth and contemplation—Trina Paulus’s Hope for the Flowers, Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking, Nietzsche’s “My Happiness,” and more. Life Pattern Korea.
In “Step Two: Secrets to Building Expressive Power 1,” it explores structural principles of sentences—contrast, connection, paradox, and flow of meaning—laying the foundation for writing that conveys thoughts clearly. Life Pattern Korea.
In “Step Three: Secrets to Building Expressive Power 2,” readers expand the depth of language by learning the aesthetics of “attaching” and “metaphorizing” through the writings of Hermann Hesse, Dante, Zhuangzi, and Virginia Woolf. Life Pattern Korea.
Finally, in “Step Four: The Power of Expression,” the author shows that expression is a way of living and the essence of dignified relationships through the four processes of connecting (linking), realizing (awakening), overcoming (solving), and rewriting (creating). Life Pattern Korea. Through these steps, readers complete a daily language-training routine that flows from transcription → expanded thinking → self-expression.

Expression is not an innate talent but a skill and attitude shaped through daily training. Many conflicts and misunderstandings arise from how we express ourselves, and precise honesty becomes harder with age. Life Pattern Korea.
One Page a Day for Better Korean-Language Expression: Daily Copywork Training provides a systematic, step-by-step method to overcome these difficulties, helping readers learn how to communicate thoughts clearly, vividly, and with dignity—neither vague nor excessive. It becomes a calm yet practical guide for anyone seeking to find their own voice. Through consistent transcription, may your words, writing, and heart grow stronger.
