Kim Suhyun’s bestselling book “I Decided to Live as Me” (Penguin Life) reminds readers about the importance of self-care and self-love. The Seoul-based writer said that reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations piqued reader interest. And she also credits BTS member, Jungkook, for spiking interest in her book after the pop star was spotted reading it.
“Because he is a star who receives a lot of attention, I think he may need the reminder of finding balance in the expectations of those around him,” Kim said. “I hope there was a message in the book that helped him. I don’t know if the book [helped], but he seems to be doing very well.” For more information on “I Decided to Live as Me,” which will be released in the United States on Nov. 19, check out Kim’s Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/liveinlove217/) and her publisher’s website (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2308711/kim-suhyun/).
