Kim ji young born 1982 book cover6/3/2023 But, even today, Jiyoung observes, starting everything with a man is the most obvious, natural, and the “right thing” to do.

The story, which draws heavily from the author’s personal experiences, recounts Jiyoung’s life from childhood through early adulthood to marriage and beyond in a monotone, a straightforwardness that isn’t observed in many woman-centric books. Her husband, Jung Daehyun, works at a midsize IT company. Previously employed with a marketing agency, she’s a stay-at-home mommy to a daughter now.
