A back alley in a neighborhood that seems to be everywhere in Seoul. An ordinary local bookstore is built between families where there are not many people coming and going. It's a Hyunam-dong Bookshop! Yeong-ju, the owner of the bookstore, who shows no motivation on her face like a person with a sad story. In the first few months, she does not work as if she were a customer, but sits still and reads only books. As she spends each day feeling like recovering her lost things one by one, her inner feeling, which seemed exhausted and empty, gradually disappears. Then she realizes at some point. The fact that she herself has become quite healthy. From that moment on, the Hyunam-dong Bookshop becomes a completely new space. To a space where people gather, emotions gather, and stories gather. <Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop> is a book full of things that are essential for us to live but lost. Consideration, kindness, friendship and loose solidarity between people who know how to keep the distance, sincere and in-depth conversation, etc. Immediately after its publication, the novel was praised by numerous readers as it became a top 10 e-book bestseller. And at the request of readers, it was finally published as a paper book.
