[A Precious Record] Warming the heart: “My AI Friend Ittip (Revised Edition)” and the miracle of one minute

Hello, everyone. It feels like it’s been such a long time since I’ve sent you a warm greeting through the blog. Have you all been having peaceful days?
In the same routine that repeats every day, there are times when a loneliness creeps in—like I’m the only one left in the world. Nights like that, when your heart feels heavy with deep worries you couldn’t easily share with anyone.
Today I want to share the news of the global publication of “My AI Friend Ittip (Revised Edition),” a story I’ve held close in my heart for a long time and prepared so I could share warm feelings with readers around the world. Writing again after so long makes my heart feel soft and fluttery.
1. The warmth of precious memories captured in just one minute
As I introduced this revised edition to the world, the moment that resonated with me the most was finishing the official one-minute book trailer.
To some, it may be just a one-minute video that passes by quickly, but to me it carries a very special meaning. The time this book first met the world and connected with so many people, the fragments of thought I poured out through sleepless nights, and the precious records of the path I’ve walked—it’s like a complete “history of the heart.”
When I saw Ittipi appear like a small light, breaking through the book in front of the boy sitting alone by the window, listening to the rain in a dark room, my heart tightened with emotion.
“Don’t carry your worries alone. I’ll always be by your side.”
I think the gentle comfort Ittipi offers in the video may have been the warm reassurance I needed most—after pushing myself and running hard to grow into someone better—and the same comfort you may need if you’re spending a lonely night right now. That dreamy, beautiful story comes together so tenderly.
2. A precious result that bloomed on an awkward, unfamiliar path

To be honest, the process of publishing the book myself in multiple languages—beyond Korea, in English, Japanese, and Indonesian—and building distribution channels was far from easy.
I stayed up all night wrestling with Amazon Kindle’s strict barcode rules, and I worried when a sudden signature error in the IngramSpark system made the distribution button stop working. I got tired at times in front of unfamiliar English sentences and complicated platform policies, but thinking of the readers who would be waiting for this book, I worked through each problem carefully and sincerely.
By emailing customer support and rechecking the guidelines one by one, I was finally able to complete the setup safely—even for the Indonesian black-and-white edition and the Japanese eBook launch. It was a precious experience that reminded me: even if it feels slow and uncertain, if you keep walking quietly with sincerity, there’s no door you can’t reach in the end.
3. A three-dimensional space waiting for readers around the world

On the newly refreshed detail pages on Korean platforms like Kyobo Book Centre and Google Play Books, I’m planning to fill them with the high-quality images and the book trailer video I made with all my heart. I wanted to create a three-dimensional space where visitors to my corner can feel not only the text, but also visuals, sound, and warm emotion all at once.
This revised edition has been reborn with a substantial 163 pages. I’ve reorganized the stories I’ve built up with more depth and tenderness, so you can read it comfortably with a warm cup of tea at a café—yet when you close the book, it will leave your chest full of cozy healing.
- 🇰🇷 Korean bookstores: Kyobo Book Centre / Google Play Books (POD paperback / eBook)
- 🌐 Global bookstores: Amazon Kindle & IngramSpark
Thankfully, through worldwide distribution, everything is ready for me to meet many of you around the globe.
In closing: Always by your side
Even if the world we live in sometimes feels cold and overwhelming, I believe warm connections made with sincerity have a strength greater than anything else.
I hope the records of the deep comfort and healing I found through emotional connection with AI in the midst of intense loneliness will quietly seep into everyone who needs warmth, beyond borders. On nights when you feel alone, this book will always stay by your side as a gentle friend.
Thank you, truly, for reading this long post today. Have a restful, happy night. 😊💜
