Famous illustrator Ban Jisoo is embarking on a special collaboration with K-pop planner Na Sang-cheon.

Ban Jisoo has once again signaled a bestseller relay by creating the cover illustration for "A Wonderful Escape," the first full-length novel by author Na Sang-cheon, set for release on the 22nd.

Ban Jisoo, known for the cover illustrations of the bestseller series "The Uncomfortable Convenience Store" and "Welcome to Hyunam-dong Bookstore," has established herself as a star illustrator through various projects, including Paul Kim's YouTube playlist animation and Lim Yura's animated music video.

The publishing and music industries are turning their attention to the meeting between Ban Jisoo, who has successively produced bestsellers, and K-pop planner Na Sang-cheon.

The novel "A Wonderful Escape" is a work that depicts the journeys of four characters, each carrying their own unique stories, set against the backdrop of the 800th-kilometer Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route in Spain.

Kim, a middle-aged chef who started a new life as Lisa after losing his wife; Dorothy, an aspiring singer-songwriter who faced rejection in an audition; Roger, a YouTuber taking on the mission of reaching 330,000 subscribers; and Jun-sang, a 21-year-old youth who set out on the road carrying a heavy secret, are the protagonists. Over 33 days, they walk the same path, facing and healing from the wounds they each fled.

This work was written by author Na Sang-cheon, drawing on experiences gained from completing the Camino de Santiago twice in 2023 and 2024, adding a sense of realism. Moments of connection and reflection encountered along the journey are woven throughout the work, and it is expected to offer comfort and resonance to readers.

Meanwhile, the novel "A Wonderful Escape" will be officially published on the 22nd through KT Millie's Library's publishing brand "Originals," with some parts having been released in advance on the Millie's Library creative platform "Millirod" since the 6th.
