대학에서 컴퓨터공학을 전공하고 LG전자에서 소프트웨어 개발자로 일했다. 몇 번의 입사와 퇴사를 반복하면서도 매일 읽고 쓰는 사람으로서의 정체성은 잃지 않고 있다. 지은 책으로 『매일 읽겠습니다』, 『난생처음 킥복싱』, 『이 정도 거리가 딱 좋다』가 있다.

두 번째 소설

2024.6.24 월요일 작년 5월에 마지막으로 쓰고, 거의 일 년 만에 다시 쓰는, 어쩌면 일기! -- 휴남동이 나오고 나서 다음 소설을 계획하고 있냐는 질문을 많이 받았다. 그럴 때마다 안 쓴다, 못 쓸 것 같다, 모르겠다,라고 대답하다가 작년 말부터는 쓰고 싶은 마음이 든다, 쓰게 되면 좋겠다고 대답하게 됐다. 하지만 쓰고 싶은 마음에서 진짜

Quotes by Hwang Bo-Reum  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Books are not meant to remain in your mind, but in your heart. Maybe they exist in your mind too, but as something more than memories. At a crossroads in life, a forgotten sentence or a story from years ago can come back to offer an invisible hand and guide you to a decision. Personally, I feel like the books I've read led me to make the choices I've made in life. While I may not remember all the details, the stories continue to exert a quiet influence on me.”
Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

“A life surrounded by good people is a successful life. It might not be success as defined by society, but thanks to the people around you, each day is a successful day'.”
Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop

“Life is too complicated and expansive to be judged solely by the career you have. You could be unhappy doing something you liked, just as it was possible to do what you didn't like but derive happiness from something entirely different. Life is mysterious and complex. Work plays an important role in life, but it isn't solely responsible for our happiness or misery”
Hwang Bo-reum, Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop
