Guiyeoni, a new-generation writer who writes novels on the Internet, has recently visited Japan to publish the Japanese version of her novel "Temptation of Wolves". This two-volume novel is a love story about teenagers. A movie based on this story will be released in Japan on March 19.
"Temptation of Wolves" rose to fame in 2001 when Guiyeoni began writing it on the Internet. Publishers and filmmakers decided to produce a movie and publish the novel as a book when it became popular with high school girls by word of mouth.
The book, which was published in December 2002, became a bestseller, selling some 300,000 copies. In July 2004, the movie based on the novel made headlines for starring such top-rated actors as Kang Dong-won, Jo Han-seon and Lee Cheong-ah, who played the lead roles.
"I wanted to tell a pure-hearted teenage love story and describe things only teenagers can do", said Guiyeoni. When asked about her next story, she said, "I am still very young, so I cannot write about the world of adults. I just want to relish my young feelings for now".
