In traditional Korea, composing captivating stories was considered frivolous, especially for someone in government service. It was unseemly for an official to waste their time on such frivolous pursuits. Therefore, the authors of many Korean novels and stories neglected to ensure their names were preserved in their work. The author's name was lost along the way. Similarly, the authors of collections of "simple stories," which circulated widely in the 19th century, also remained unknown.
