just discovered your channel yesterday and I really loves your vlogs!

I just discovered your channel! I don’t know how to say it but I really like your vibe haha ❤ loved the Faye Wong outfit inspiration!

This video was so amazing! Im currently in the writerly life myself, trying to write short stories and put them out for submission. I’ve always admired translators so much and am so curious about the process and day-to-day, so thanks for making this! I’d be so very interested if you did another video on your translating process! Also….Anton Hur!! I read his translation of Shin Kyung-Sook’s Violets this year and it destroyyedd me!

I need to read intermezzo by sally rooney. great video!

한국어 자막은 없겠쥬...?😭

where is your red sweater from, from the intro and outdo? :) Loved this vid !!

Pls more bookish content!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Hi! I'm new to this channel but I absolutely love the way you talk about books and your recs! Elana Knows was one of my absolute faves of 2022 as well! I am curious about how it was translated to English since I'm from Argentina myself and was able to read it in Spanish! One of the thing I liked the most was that Elena's voice and expressions were very argentinian so it'd be cool to see how they were translated ❤❤❤❤

So cute!! I'm obsessed with that huge blue scarf! I'm all about color in the winter - I want to be the brightest thing around when everything is grey and dreary XD

ok winter fashion queen, so much inspo from this!! ❤❤

You really made me want to pick up another Baldwin book ! As for Ernaux, I've only read 2 of her books and one of them is in my top books of all time, it's called La place in french and I think was translated to A man's place. Highly recommend! Talks about class and feeling like you're betraying your family as you change throughout your life.

adding outfit details to the description box!! 🤗🤗 feel free to check them out

Love this and so happy I found your channel! I did a translation certificate with my fiction MFA, and I enjoyed it so much and am still in awe of all my professors’ excellent work. Wishing you the best on your journey! 💕

너모 대단하세여! 전 약 30년전에 미국서 잠깐 초등학교 다녔었는데 (나이 계산은 쉿!😂) 자연스럽게 영어를 터득한 후 좀 더 체계적으로 배우지 못한게 나이가 드니 후회가 되여^^ 일상생활말은 별탈없이 하고 유학와서도 수업들을때 그때 좀 더 늘긴했는데 rachel cusk소설이나 사실 sally ronney 소설도 the graveyard book (이건 아동용 도서라 사실 쉬운거긴 하지만요^^) 처럼 단번에 네이티브처럼 술술 읽긴 힘들더라구요ㅠㅠ 그런 소설도 좀 술술 읽고싶은데 ㅠㅠ 읽다보면 늘까요? ㅠㅠ 아! 장류진 작가님 책 달까지 가자 읽어보셨나요? 다른 장류진 작가님 책은 저 개인적으로는 막 빠져들진 읺았는데 ”달까지가자“는 요즘 시대적으로 딱 맞물린 이야기라 술술 읽혔던것 같아요^^ 혹시 안읽어보셨다면 재미로 읽기 좋을듯해요^^

i love the stuff u pointed in the video, even though style i a very personal thing i agree sm w basically everything u said, sensible tips! i hope yt recommends more content of yours, hugs from Brazil! :)

so many interesting book from this video! already added to my tbr and thank you for the recs🤎

ooo ok i've added edinburgh and crooked plow to my tbr. they sound so so good and i haven't heard anyone talk about those yet so thank you for putting them on my radar! that cover of butter is so freaking beautiful. i wish i would have purchased that one instead of the US edition! ALSO OMG i hope you find a copy of i who have never known men bc it's one i loved so much. fingers crossed for you bc i'd love to hear your thoughts on it!! i am so excited for both of us having found a potential new fav author in re: to piñeiro 🥹💗

omg I loved everything you shared - your tips are actually so solid and thoughtful for curating a functional, well-loved closet :') excited for more fashion content!

i added three of the books you recommended to my tbr list!! i feel like the years by annie ernaux is a great book, but it's even better if you do know what is the historical context behind the story (as ernaux doesn't really dwelve into explaining anything; you read it as something that has been witnessed). also 횐's translation is beautiful, but i'd really recommend to read it in Korean:)

I love all the book recomendations! What about your book clube? I couldn’t find the link!

thank you so much for this video! i have a question about the contest for emerging translators that you won (congratulations, by the way!!!!): did you translate a chapter of a book that you particularly loved, or did you translate the entire thing? (it seems like an insane requirement)

loved these recs so much! added so many to my tbr!! 💫 + your book club sounds so interesting, i'd love to check it out but couldn't find the link?

우와😊😊😊 너모너모 좋아여😊 영어 원문 독서영상리뷰 너모 원한던 1인이에여!!! 오늘 영상 첨 봤는데 구독하고갑니다!!!

ohh this is so fascinating!! wishing you all the best on your journey <3 looking forward to reading your translated work one day!!

That was fascinating! I had no idea about any of the ins and outs of the translation side of things. Great video, what a journey!

If you like mystery/murder/dark themed books, I think you'd enjoy '2666' & 'The Savage Detectives' by Roberto Bolano.

ooo girl this is ambitious but i best believe you can do it!!! every time i'm in kyobo i see Butter and am always tempted to pick it up the cover is sooo gorg!!! can't wait to hear your thoughts on these as well as your top books of the year!

Why haven’t I found you up until now?!?

Thanks for the recs. I do recognize some of the names including James Baldwin, though I’ve read only one short story by him called Sonny’s Blues - which actually has a special place in my heart as it’s the first work I wrote a paper on as an English lit major. It was a comparison with another short story by Urusula K Leguin called The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. Dunno if you’ve heard of it, but it’s a short interesting read that gives you a lot to think about. If anything, I liked the writing style. A small trigger warning though - if memory serves, I think it has some descriptions of abuse, but they’re necessary to the story. Anyway, look at me yapping! I haven’t had people to share my thoughts about books in such a long time that I just went on and on 😅 Also, I’ve been interested to read Native Speaker too! Maybe I’ll pick it up some time. Btw, you look so cute in that blue hat 😊

I just discovered your channel and omg your books recs are so eclectic and erudite. And the way you talk about books makes me immediately want to go and grab them. So glad I stumbled upon this channel❤

아마 다른 분들의 북튜브를 보다보니 경민님의 유투브가 알고리즘에 떴나봐요. 구독한지 얼마 안됐지만 천천히 영상을 보고 있습니다. 차분하시고, 자신이 하는 일을 사랑하고 그것에 집중하시는 모습이 구독자들을 행복하게 만드는 것 같아요. 앞으로도 영상 기대할게요. 연말 따뜻하게 보내시고, 좋은 책 추천, 번역 이야기, 소소한 일상 이야기 기다리겠습니다. Happy holidays x

my fav book recommendation!

This video is so cozy and it is just so interesting to listen to you!

native speaker sounds so interesting; just added to my tbr. and I watch temi and kat, too!!

Great recs thank you

for those of you who'd like to join 'between us book club'! our next meeting is on 12/15 at 9:15 AM EST and we are reading Butter by Asako Yuzuki :D fill out this form: forms.gle/jZo8St6aTRQkYYik7 & i'll shoot you an email with more info & our group chat!

Really enjoyed these videos and hearing your thoughts. Thank you for sharing the resources - I’m also very interested in translating!

I let out so many longing sighs watching this video - you're living my dream! If it's not prying to ask, I was wondering what your visa status is. Are you a Korean citizen, or were you able to get a visa for translation work? Or are you working another job to meet work visa requirements? Just trying to figure out how I might make the logistics work on my end! Thank you in any case for putting out a video like this, it's really helpful and interesting to get a glimpse of the day-to-day of a literary translator. Best of luck with all your projects! I'm a new subscriber, so I'll be rooting for you as you keep us updated :)

Haven’t read the book, but your review of it is one of the best I've come across in a long time. I love how you talked about the book and its theme and just enjoyed your vlog overall! Excited to watch more of your videos in the future!

Just discovered your channel on my fyp i love the vibes omg how are you not more popular 😭 your channel is a gold mine

Just discovered your channel today - love it!

So curious to know your thoughts on Clarisse Lispector!

loved this vlog! so fascinating to learn about translation (and love the cafes <3)

Yayyy, I always wanted to find other translators on YT!! 💗Literary translation works differently in Brazil. You have to send your CV to book publishing companies and hope that they will send you a translation test. If they do and you perform well, they will contact you when they have work available. So, from the start, it's the company who decides what books they want to aquire, translate and publish. The painful part is that they are a very closed group, usually having those professionals they always go to, so... many many times they just thank you for your interest and say they aren't hiring at the moment , without even sending you a test💀

Chinese new fan here, I’ve been a fan of faye wong since when I was a child!!

First time watching ur videos and I enjoyed it so much! Such soothing voice and adorable face🤍 Do you have any tips for expanding your vocabulary??
