    IP Introduction

    Myeong-jeong, who lost his wife years ago, runs a laundry by himself in a slightly run-down, slightly poor neighborhood. His only son, who had been living abroad, also passed away in an unexpected accident. Shortly after, a package arrives for him under his son’s name. Inside, he finds a robot in the shape of a 17-year-old boy. Myeong-jeong takes the robot as a final gift from his son and names it “Eun-gyeol,” the name he always hoped to give to a second child, if he ever had one.

    "A Spoonful of Time" is a heartwarming story of comfort and healing, seen through the eyes of Eun-gyeol, a humanoid robot working at a local laundry. As he observes the lives of Myeong-jeong, the laundry owner, and the neighborhood children, Shiho, Junkyo, and Seju, the story unfolds with calm affection. The book was selected for the Sejong Books Literature Sharing Program in 2017 and was recommended by the National Library of Korea, Maeil Business Daily, and Hankyoreh Newspaper in 2016.
