KIM SUSEONG

He is a researcher and Korea Haiku poet who has explored the creation, theory, education, and digital dissemination of Korea Haiku. He has continued his research on food culture and everyday life culture in early modern and modern Japan, while maintaining a deep interest in how literature can expand anew through the senses of daily life, regional culture, and digital technology. He believes that Korea Haiku should not remain a mere transfer of the form of Japanese haiku, but should develop its own aesthetics through the rhythm and sensibility of the Korean language, the perception of seasons, and scenes from everyday life. To this end, he has steadily worked to organize the creative language, critical terminology, educational methods, archival foundations, and international exchange networks of Korea Haiku. He is also exploring the possibility of establishing Korean haiku-related terms such as Ulteomal, a Korean interpretation of utamakura. As a humanistic engineer who values the intersection of the humanities and technology, he is also committed to building digital humanities platforms that connect literary creation, publishing, archives, and electronic book production systems. Through the development of the Korea Haiku Federation website and related systems, he is helping to create a literary ecosystem where haiku poets, readers, and researchers can interact and grow together. His work connects Japanese literary studies, food culture studies, Korea Haiku creation, and digital publishing system development into a single intellectual trajectory. His primary concern is to expand the new possibilities of Korea Haiku between tradition and modernity, analog sensibility and digital technology, regional culture and world literature.
