About

Created in his hometown Sillema-eul to honor Chuncheon-born novelist Kim You Jeong, The Literary Village of Kim You Jeong is a space where you can fully encounter the author's life and literary world. Here, where the entire village becomes a stage for literature, it consists of Kim You Jeong's birthplace, a memorial exhibition hall, a story house, and more. In particular, the birthplace was restored close to its original form through the testimonies and historical research of the village residents, and sculptures recreating scenes from the author's representative works 'Bombom' and 'Dongbaekkkot' are located throughout, allowing you to vividly feel the humor and mood in the works.

Added with the fun of learning the secret of the yellow ginger tree flower, which people of Gangwon misunderstood as Dongbaekkkot, it is a special literary travel destination where you can experience the rural sentiment beyond literature.
