About the Project : Writer's Room

Every story begins in a room - a private, silent space where a writer's imagination takes its first breath. But for a story to truly live, it must eventually leave the room, cross borders, and find a new home in the hearts of others. 

The "Writer's Room" is a collaborative sanctuary built by Yesigong Project, known for its experimental theatre group, and Unbound, a creative space and lab that transcends artistic boundaries in South Korea. It is a bridge between languages and a laboratory for cultural metamorphosis. We believe that a great story is not a fixed entity, but a living organism that evolves when it encounters a new culture, a new language, and a new audience.

Our mission through this project is to discover raw, compelling narratives written in English and meticulously transplant them into the fertile soil of the Korean creative landscape. This is not merely a process of translation; it is an act of 'Trans-creation.' Through professional editing, cultural polishing, and online publication, we ensure that the essence of the author's vision remains intact while finding a rhythm that resonates with the Korean sensibility.
