But when health challenges led her to leave the corporate world behind, and her sister gently encouraged her to try writing, she gave it a chance—just once.
That single step changed everything.
Since 2018, she has been writing emotionally rich, character-driven stories—and has published two romance novels in Korean. What began as a reluctant experiment has become her greatest joy, and she now finds true fulfillment in creating stories that make others lau

message 1: by Ji (last edited Dec 03, 2025 03:25AM)

Ji Sunyoun I'm excited to share that my debut English romance novel—originally written in Korean—is almost ready for ARC readers.

It’s a slow-burn, emotional story with strong K-drama vibes: fate, mystery, lingering tension, and a lot of heart between Ian and Sunwoo.

Thank you for being here at the beginning. 💜
I can’t wait to share more soon.
