Kim jiyoung born 1982 pages6/4/2023 Jiyoung was starting to feel like a stranger to Daehyun. She’d send a text message riddled with cute emoticons she never normally used, or make dishes like ox-bone soup or glass noodles that she neither enjoyed nor was good at. We are told, with the addition of her medical records, that ‘Jiyoung’s abnormal behaviour was first detected on 8 September.’ This ‘odd behaviour continued sporadically. We first meet Jiyoung in the autumn of 2015 at this point, she lives on the outskirts of Seoul, has been married to Daehyun for three years, and is the mother of a baby daughter. The structure uses six separate sections, each of which deals with a specific time period in Jiyoung’s life. This novella, which runs to just over 160 pages in its English translation, follows Jiyoung, from her birth in the early 1980s to the present day. Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 is Cho Nam-Joo’s third book.
