The Korean Cult Classic Phenomenon

HUNGER begins at the end.

When Dam discovers her boyfriend, Gu, murdered on the street by loan sharks - time stops. She cradles his corpse in her arms, carries it home and begins to tell their story in a string of monologues stretching between this realm and the next, binding two souls in a story of a love starved by life, until death do them part - or part by part ...

She eventually confesses she has slowly been eating the bathed, embalmed corpse of her lover, choosing to entomb Gu in herself - where he will now live on - forever.

At once romantic and horrific, HUNGER is a psychologically thrilling Korean classic that cuts to the very heart of love and the things we will do to keep it alive.

Due to release 26th June 2025.

i was reading the 6th issue of chogwa (an e-zine featuring one Korean poem & multiple English translations by different translators) and i am in love with all the different renderings of the final line of Park Seo-won’s poem “Somang/소망”

[librarycards]

At the peak of beauty could tragedy strike. Today I left the lunar halo and focused on the blizzard not yet spent this morning. The interplay of night and day. Deception and falsity. Growing kindest to the hand that choked me with care. I lay prone on the edge of night and wished to become a mild voice. I wished to lean toward the warble of the innocuous instant. Toward the vision of my walking away. Toward the neat cross section of my back. But now is the time to become distinct by tracing the pattern of dizzying deceit. A searing hand from yesterday can gather up heavy snow. We spoke of infinity while pressing on each other’s vital points which were like shrieks in circulation. Like sclerae swelling with sorrow. Like horizons growing continuously close then forever far. I could wrap our brightest dreams around my neck then streak through the night sky. And so the entrusted winter could shine brightly on the filth of who clings.

Lee Hyemi, tr. Soje, Ligature Marks.

Lastly, I want to tell myself sort of what I said about rhythm earlier: You can’t carry over everything, no matter how much you want or need to. I’d say, tap into the essence of each sentence and let it guide you. If that sounds too woo-woo for you, don’t worry—you’ll figure it out in the next-next draft.
