Ji Sunyoun spent years leading the administration department at a Japanese-owned corporation, overseeing everything from accounting and finance to HR and general affairs. With her days rooted in structure, numbers, and responsibility, becoming a romance author was the last thing she expected.
But when health challenges led her to leave the corporate world behind, and her sister gently encouraged her to try writing, she gave it a chance—just once.
That single step changed everything.

Beautifully Mistaken Volume 1 Is Now Live

I’m excited to share that Beautifully Mistaken: Volume 1 is now officially available on Amazon.

This story follows Sunwoo, a novelist who enters a Seoul host bar for research and meets Ian—a man whose past is far more complicated than it first appears.

If you enjoy K-drama style romance, emotional twists, and slow-burn tension, I hope you’ll enjoy this story.

And if you’ve already read the ARC, I wou Read more of this blog post »

Ji Sunyoun I'm excited to share that my debut English romance novel—originally written in Korean—is almost ready for ARC readers.

It’s a slow-burn, emotional story with strong K-drama vibes: fate, mystery, lingering tension, and a lot of heart between Ian and Sunwoo.

Thank you for being here at the beginning. 💜
I can’t wait to share more soon.
