On the interview program [Story] of Maeil Kyungjae TV, we meet the story of Na Tae-ju, a representative poet of Korea. Poet Na Tae-ju, who debuted in 1971 with the poem 'Under the Bamboo Forest', has captured the hearts of readers with simple yet powerful poetic words such as 'Flowers of Grass' and 'Windy from afar'. His poems have provided comfort and courage to many people by specially illuminating small moments of everyday life with deep resonance contained in short words. In this broadcast, we will highlight the honest story of Na Tae-ju, a poet and a human being. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a painter, but when even painting tools were a luxury, he gave up his dream and chose literature, taking the path of a poet. He began painting again at the age of 55, personally practicing his philosophy that "it is never too late to start a dream." Poet Na Tae-ju was deeply moved by Han Kang's novel 'The Boy Comes' recently, and expressed it in the poem 'I Cried'. He said that his heart broke at the last scene of his mother's wailing, and he expressed the sadness and tears conveyed in the work in poetry. He also dedicated many poems to his wife, and in the poem 'Please', he expressed his longing for his loved one not to go far away. Poet Na Tae-joo expressed his wish to continue writing poems that convey warmth to people's hearts. He said, "I want to be a useful poet rather than a great poet," and expressed his determination to write poems that permeate life.
