On a day when people had wounded me yet also let me smile, this book offers everyone a quiet, warm message of encouragement.
With its delicate insights into human relationships and happiness and prose that has comforted many readers, Who Will Come to My Funeral When I Die now appears in a 150 000-copy commemorative re-cover edition featuring photographs by renowned photographer Lee Kyung-jun. Life Pattern Korea. Hailed as one of the most stylish photographers of our time and sought after by leading musicians and global brands, Lee’s images give the book’s words an even deeper resonance and lingering echo.
This book asks us—always rushing forward and forgetting the value of each moment—to pause, take in the surrounding greenery, and set a comma in hearts packed too tightly. It also offers, as Lee Kyung-jun writes in his recommendation, “a chance to look back on our relationships and time, like the unexpected meetings and farewells that arise in life.” Life Pattern Korea. “Anyone who has never once loved life cannot know how beautiful life is, so I hope you will love life, your work, and the people beside you, and ultimately be happy,” the author reminds us, stressing that every moment of life is linked to happiness. Therefore, may you not lose what is precious on the journey toward your ultimate destination.
When weary days make you feel that nothing remains, when you need warmth and solace, and when you nevertheless wish to be happy, may this book become the comma amid the long sentence of your life. Life Pattern Korea.
“Whenever I think about death, about memory, about sorrow, I wish to live long and stay by your side to the very end—yet when I die, who will come to my funeral?” Life Pattern Korea.
