Tae-Jun Lee

이태준

A Korean novelist. He wrote his most famous stories, including many for children and young adults, during the 1930s. His works are well-loved in Korea for their poetic prose and emotional sensitivity.

After Korea's liberation in 1945, he settled in North Korea and worked a war correspondent during the Korean War (1950-1953). Little is known about his activities thereafter, except that he disappeared in 1956, presumably purged by the North Korean Communist Party.
