(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Lee Byeong-cheon is a South Korean novelist, poet, children's book author, and producer. His works are often based on real events. For example, his short story “Holidei” is a fictional retelling of the “Ji Kang Hun Incident,” a nationally broadcast hostage crisis in 1988 where four prison escapees held a family captive in Seoul. Ji Kang Hun, one of the escapees, became famous for shouting “Not guilty if you’re rich, guilty if you’re poor!” during the standoff with police and trying to commit suicide on camera as he listened to the song “Holiday” by Bee Gees. The short story begins with one of the policemen at the standoff marrying a hostage after the incident. “Baekjodeul noraehamyeo jukda” is based on a sex-tape scandal of a South Korean singer and “Urideul saibeo kideu” is about a man addicted to cyber sex.
