[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Duyul] Professor Kim Soon-gyeong of the Department of Automotive Engineering at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology recently published his fourth essay collection, "Sigimsae."
"Sigimsae" is a gugak (traditional Korean music) essay collection that was selected for the 2022 Arko Cultural Creation Fund project by the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service. It was published based on the author's real experiences and insights, aesthetically structured and depicted in a realistic writing style.
The essay collection contains a total of 41 essays across four chapters, including topics such as Deugeum, Sinawi, Samulnori, and Deoneum.
Professor Kim received the New Writer Award from "Essay and Criticism" in 2016 for "Is the Mountain Pheasant Still Crying There?" and has been actively engaged in literary creative activities since his debut.
Recently, he has won awards in various contests such as the Gyeongnam Newspaper New Year's Literary Contest, the National Teachers' Essay Contest, the Lighthouse Literary Award Contest, and the Pohang Sojae Literary Award Contest. Previously, he published three essay collections: "Daedaeri Byeolgok," "Motang," and "Gojubaki."
Professor Kim Soon-gyeong of Dong-Eui Institute of Technology shared his thoughts on the publication, saying, "I wanted to widely promote our sound, which embodies the soul of our nation, and the gradually disappearing gugak through essays."
Since 1996, Professor Kim has been serving in the Department of Automotive Engineering at Dong-Eui Institute of Technology. He has held positions such as department head, director of student welfare, director of the startup incubation center, and chairman of the Busan-Ulsan startup incubation center council.
