Singer Jung Se-woon takes on a new role as a narrator for "Literature in Textbooks Told by Idols."

"Literature in Textbooks Told by Idols" is an idol audio class series presented by the Ministry of Education and EBS, a project that introduces 30 major works from high school literature textbooks in an easy and approachable manner through the voices of K-POP artists. Jung Se-woon participates in narrating Park Ji-won's 'Gwangmunja Jeon,' written by a late Joseon Dynasty scholar and novelist.

'Gwangmunja Jeon,' narrated by Jung Se-woon, is a work that recounts various anecdotes of Gwangmun, a character who is humble in status but honest and unpretentious. By featuring Gwangmun, a beggar who was difficult to receive positive evaluation from the ruling class at the time, Park Ji-won focuses on the inner self and essence of humans rather than social status or appearance, proposing a new ideal of humanity needed for that era. While following the form of a 'biography' (Jeon) in recording the deeds and evaluations of an actual person, it also possesses characteristics of a novel by fictitiously constructing dramatic events based on anecdotes.

With his characteristic comfortable and plain voice, Jung Se-woon vividly conveys Gwangmun's diverse anecdotes, highlighting the work's meaning of looking beyond the status and appearance defined by society to see the true value of an individual. Jung Se-woon, who has always been concerned with "what stories can be told to the world" when creating music and has shown interest in small, trivial stories within people's lives and 'real stories' that do not appear on the surface, naturally connects his own perspective with 'Gwangmunja Jeon.'

This content faithfully reflects background knowledge and explanations of works included in textbooks, making it easy to understand the formal characteristics of 'Gwangmunja Jeon' and the new ideal of humanity proposed by Park Ji-won through the work. Jung Se-woon adds his perspective as a singer-songwriter to help students understand classic literature more familiarly and broaden their vision for viewing people through the characters in the works.

"Literature in Textbooks Told by Idols," featuring Jung Se-woon, will be released at 9 a.m. on the 9th.
