[이적 / 가수 : 단어에서 파생된 생각들, 거기서 촉발된 아이디어들, 피어오르는 이미지들을 담아봤어요. 상상의 불을 붙이는 부싯돌 같은 책이 되면 너무 좋겠어요.]
Lee Jeok, who previously published a fiction collection, ‘Fingerprint Hunter’ and a picture book, proved to be a natural storyteller, and in this book, he conveys his thoughts through novels and poetry.

[이적 / 가수 : (눈사람에서는) 많은 젊은 여성들이 약간의 폭력성이 있는 남성을 대할 때 느끼는 정말 말하기 어려운 미묘한 불쾌감과 공포심, 일상의 불편한 마음을 건드렸나 봐요.]
In the book, you can also get a glimpse of Lee Jeok’s musical world and the birth of delicate lyrics.
[이적 / 가수 : (후배 가수에게)너는 이제 뭐 할 거냐고 물었는데 ‘빨래나 하려고요. 오후에 비온다 그랬나?’ 그러는 거예요. 손으로 막 짜고 물 버리고 하면서 내 안에 있는 때를 다 쏟아 버리고 싶은데 그게 말처럼 쉽지 않다는 가사인데….]
Lee Jeok, who appeared in the group ‘Panic’ in 1995 and overcame his debut, is also the father of two daughters who are looking into their 50s.
He says he wants to fill the rest of his life with the words humor, composure, and love, and is walking towards his next goal at his own pace.
[이적 / 가수 : 정말 미친 듯이 그걸 하자고 마음을 먹으면 어느 순간 번아웃은 오는 것 같아요. 그걸 꾸준히 하자고 마음먹는 게 중요하다고 생각하거든요.]
