Description: "This time it's taekwondo!" The ninth story from 'dad author' Kim Young-jin — Geurin's rollercoaster adventure to earn her next belt! "It's okay to get it wrong. Just do your best with confidence!" Ever since starting elementary school, Geurin feels like she's facing endless difficult tests. But even though she's not confident about tests, there's one test she's been waiting for since kindergarten — the taekwondo promotion test held in front of the judges at Kukkiwon. Studying for dictation tests felt endless and exhausting, but taekwondo was different. Geurin loved taekwondo. After practicing hard, the long-awaited day of her taekwondo test finally arrived, and Geurin felt her confidence soaring — after all, she hadn't made a single mistake during her last practice. But then, something unexpected happened: the Kukkiwon director burst into tears! Children all around were sniffling too. And that's not all — even the always-perfect, always-composed master sobbed openly in front of everyone. What on earth happened? Kim Young-jin, Korea's beloved 'representative dad author,' known for capturing children's everyday lives with vivid storytelling and imaginative illustrations, brings us his newest work, "What If I Get It Wrong?" — a story filled with the comforting message that "it's okay to make mistakes," along with the encouraging reminder that "you can do it!" "Cheer up, hang in there!" — A rousing cheer for our children, who keep growing taller even as they stumble and scrape their knees along the way. From dictation quizzes, pop quizzes, midterms, and finals, to job interviews and promotion exams as adults, it's fair to say we spend much of our lives surrounded by tests. After crossing the difficult hurdle of making new friends in elementary school, Geurin now faces an endless sea of tests ahead. When Geurin feels down after not getting a perfect score on her dictation test, her dad comforts her by saying, "You did so much better than last time!" But those words don't really reach her. Instead, a single line — "Let's go get some chicken!" — instantly lifts her spirits. But the joy of eating chicken fades quickly once she thinks about studying again, and Geurin falls silent, grumbling adorably that she hates getting things wrong even more than she hates studying hard. But as her taekwondo test approaches, Geurin seems like a completely different person compared to when she was preparing for her dictation test. Instead of forcing herself to study like before, she practices eagerly and joyfully on her own. Just when she feels fully prepared, an unexpected obstacle appears — her instructor had the wrong test range in mind! Their invincible master, who's great at breaking boards and even competed nationally, made a mistake?! Just as everyone is shocked and flustered, Geurin takes a deep breath and calmly pictures the movements in her mind. Then, one by one, she performs each move beautifully — even squeezing her eyes shut at the moment she most wants to run away! Geurin's story of calmly encouraging herself goes beyond simply saying "it's okay to make mistakes" — it delivers the powerful message, "You can do it!" "What If I Get It Wrong?" is a gift of a book for every child in the world who faces new challenges every single day. "Mom, this is just like my story!" A lively fantasy-of-everyday-life picture book that vividly captures children's daily experiences! Kim Young-jin, the author who has captivated not only children but also moms and dads with his 'Jiwon and Byeonggwan' series and 'Kim Young-jin Picture Book' series, has created another vivid and delightful picture book — this time based on the real taekwondo promotion test experience he and his child went through together. The scene where Geurin bursts into tears the moment she gets home after narrowly missing first place in the reading contest; the image of Geurin trudging home feeling utterly disheartened; and her happy, beaming smile as she enjoys delicious chicken, as if nothing had happened at all — these moments perfectly capture the mischievous yet endlessly lovable and adorable nature of our children. Drawing on his real-life experiences raising two children, the author has crafted an even more vivid and realistic story and scenes. And the author doesn't stop at simply depicting reality — his imaginative scenes, bursting with color like a vibrant animation, bring even more fun and sparkle to this familiar story.
