Seoul book club to host romantic illustrator Puuung

Seoul Book and Culture Club will be holding an author event with Korean illustrator Puuung, who recently released the book “Love Is.”

Puung’s “Love Is” illustrations, showing a couple in an idyllic romance in a European-style setting, has won her a substantial fan base – over 250,000 followers on Facebook – and has sold the rights to her book in five countries.

The event, run in Korean and English through a translator will give readers a chance to hear from the artist and ask questions during a Q&A session.

The book club meeting runs from 4-6 p.m. at the Seoul Global Culture Center in the M-Plaza building in Myeong-dong Seoul. Admission is free.
