About the Author

Kun Ho Park

The co-author of this book PARK, Kun-Ho, is a professional who was born in Korea but studied in Japan. When he returned to Korea, he worked as a resident employee for a Japanese company and began teaching. He taught Japanese to the executives of conglomerates and has authored various Japanese textbooks. He experienced his students having difficulties in learning Chinese characters (kanji) and researched how to learn Chinese characters easily. He patented his Chinese character learning text in 2013, in which he described the creation principles of Chinese characters in a chart. He wrote over 30 books in Chinese characters, including Bunhaejoripsik Hanja (Disassembly and Assembly of Chinese characters) and Fun Fun Hanja (Fun Fun Chinese Characters).

Kyung Yong Kong

The co-author of this book is KONG, Kyung-Yong. Although he was born in Korea, he is the 78th descendant of Confucius, and due to his family, he was familiar with Chinese characters since his youth. He was a bookworm who perused the Britannica Encyclopedia when he was just a boy. He conceived of writing a book with the idea that Chinese characters with form and sound can be easily learned if meanings are given to the sounds. His experience reading encyclopedias and countless books helped him assign scientific or social meanings to the sounds. He is a professional publisher active in the publication field, participating in diverse activities such as writing, editing, and consulting governmental agencies or universities.
