Actress Moon Ga-young‘s first collection of essays, ‘PATA’, published last year, has been reissued as a reprint edition.

This time, in particular, it has drawn attention as it has been translated and published in Taiwan and Indonesia, meeting overseas readers as well.

‘PATA’ was published last year and is a work filled with Moon Ga-young’s intimate language as she fiercely confronts herself and the world around her. Through the new face of ‘Pata’, you can meet stories that are both Moon Ga-young and not her.

Since its publication last year, it has recently been reprinted 8 times and has established itself as a steady seller, and a special 1-year anniversary reprint has been released to repay the readers‘ enthusiastic support.

The publisher Wisdom House stated, “Works that have consistently received love from the public are republished as reprints, but it is rare for a solo reprint to be published at Kyobo Book Centre’s suggestion to commemorate the 1-year anniversary of publication. The news of its release alone has garnered enthusiastic responses both domestically and internationally.”

This reprint features a cover that embodies the ‘blue bird’ wishing good luck in the book, and seeks to express its gratitude to readers.

‘Pata’ has also been enthusiastic overseas.

In Taiwan, it received a lot of attention right after its publication in February, and a second printing was decided. It is expected that communication with Asian readers will be further expanded as the official publication in Indonesia will be completed in March.

Moon Ga-young is playing the role of Baek Soo-jung in the drama ‘That guy is a black flame dragon’, and is skillfully moving between comedy and romance.

She is also scheduled to show a wide spectrum of acting with the movie ‘The distant future of us (tentative title)’, which is scheduled to be released this year, and the next drama on tvN, ‘Seocho-dong’.
