Kim Insuk was born in Seoul in 1963. Some of her works, The Road Travelled Together, The Light Nearby, and 1979-1980 Between the Winter and the Spring, are based on her experience of the democratisation movement in Korea during the 80s. After 1990, Korean society also underwent abrupt changes in the midst of the shifts in the world order brought on by the end of the Cold War. Kim devoted herself to scrutinizing the problems of compromise, fatigue, depression, and lethargy that began to appear in Korean society as it internalized the new capitalist order. Blade and Love and Story of a Woman are some of her works from this period. In 1993 Kim resided in Sydney, Australia for one and a half years; at the beginning of the 2000s she stayed for three and a half years in Dalian, China. Kim’s works The Long Road, Sydney, Standing at the Blue Ocean, and Ocean and Butterfly are based on those experiences. She has created stories that take place somewhere in the world beyond the borders of Korea. Kim’s works also include That Woman’s Autobiography, Bye, Elena, To Be Insane and Sohyeon. From the beginning of her writing career, Kim has persistently produced works that deal with the problems of the present time and that offer introspection into the human existence, without losing sight of the currents of changes in reality.
