A book that South Korea’s mission chief in Shanghai authored has become a bestseller in China.
It is “English Vocabulary Workshop,” an English vocabulary build-up guide, which was published by consul-general Kim Jeong-kee, 50, last June.
According to China’s largest Internet bookstore, dangdang.com, Kim’s book is ranked ninth in the foreign language category, Yonhap News Agency reported Wednesday.
Kim was a famous English teacher in South Korea 20 years ago. Most South Korean college students at that time read his book to ramp up their English vocabulary.
Kim graduated from the State University of New York with honors. He worked for President Lee Myung-bak when Lee was a presidential candidate. Since June last year, he started his diplomatic mission in Shanghai.
His book, a translation of the Korean edition, was a product of 3-year-translation work by Peking University professors.
In Korea, Kim’s book sold more than a million copy.
