Seo Deokchul
Master Seo Deokchul became physically disabled due to a back injury when he was 6 years old. He learned Korean from his mother and started to compose children’s songs. He started working in the literary world when he published ‘Spring Letter’, a children’s song, in the magazine <Children> in 1925. He composed about 70 children’s songs including ‘Crooked Dungdeok’, ‘Flute’ and ‘Peach’. He left works that offered hope to the people during the Japanese occupation of Korea as a literary gem without losing his innocence and purity throughout his entire life.
