Suji Kim

Suji Kim is the South Korean fantasy-romance writer behind Under the Oak Tree, a webnovel franchise that later moved into the New York Times bestseller conversation through its English print rollout. Publisher copy from Penguin Random House and profile material from RIDI both frame Kim as a writer whose audience was built on long-form emotional fantasy rather than disposable trend fiction.

That reach matters even more in 2026. Kakao Entertainment is now pushing Kim's The Forgotten Meadows into webtoon form for Kakao Page and Kakao Webtoon, turning her same-universe fantasy line into another live platform event. HITKULTR also covered that move directly in our article on the adaptation launch.
