Song Yu-jeong was born in Ansan, Korea, and grew up in the nearby city of Suwon.
Her debut novel The Memory Bookshop became a sensation in Korea after captivating readers online.
Popular demand on the crowdfunding platform Tumblbug led to the book being self-published, before it was picked up by Dasan Books.
The novel has since been translated into 14 languages and is being published around the world. Song Yu-jeong moved back to her birthplace of Ansan, where she spends her time writing.
