Kim So-un's literary leanings go back to his school days, when he specialized in poetry and folklore. Later he polished his style by working for a major newspaper in Seoul and as chief editor of the Korean Children's Educational Institute. Writing with equal facility in Korean or Japanese, Mr. Kim has twenty-three published works to his credit, inlcuding collections of poetry, folk talkes, folklore, folk songs, and critical essays. In 1952 he was invited by UNESCO to represent Korean literature at the International Artists' Convention held at Venice, Italy.
