Park Hyun-wook was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1967. He studied sociology at Yonsei University. He made his literary debut in 2001 when his novel Dongjeong eopneun sesang (ëÂÂì  ìÂÂë ì¸ì A World Without Virginity) won the Munhakdongne Writer Award. He also wrote the short story collection Geu yeojaui chimdae (ê·¸ ì“ÂÂì 침ë The Woman's Bed) and the novels Anaega gyeolhonhetda (ìÂÂë´갠결üÃÂÂë¤ My Wife Got Married) and Saenuen (ìÂÂë Birds Are).

Park Hyun-wookâÂÂs stories typically concern romantic relationships between men and women. His debut novel Dongjeong eopneun sesang (ëÂÂì  ìÂÂë ì¸ì A World Without Virginity) is about a virgin teenager named Junho who is set on having sex with his girlfriend Seoyoung. He obsesses over losing his virginity because he doesnâÂÂt know how else to become an adult. Despite the fact that the novel opens and ends with the suggestive line âÂÂI want to do it with you,â its focus is not on sex but on growing up. The novel makes the counter-intuitive observation that growing up entails leaving the world of adults. Dongjeong has been adapted into a TV series.
Anaega gyeolhonhetda (ìÂÂë´갠결üÃÂÂë¤ My Wife Got Married) was widely discussed when it came out in 2006 due to its plot: the narratorâÂÂs wife marries another man and starts a polygamous marriage. Anaega has been adapted into a film.
