Ji Sunyoun spent years leading the administration department at a Japanese-owned corporation, overseeing everything from accounting and finance to HR and general affairs. With her days rooted in structure, numbers, and responsibility, becoming a romance author was the last thing she expected.
But when health challenges led her to leave the corporate world behind, and her sister gently encouraged her to try writing, she gave it a chance—just once.
That single step changed everything.
Since 2018, she has been writing emotionally rich, character-driven stories—and has published two romance novels in Korean. What began as a reluctant experiment has become her greatest joy, and she now finds true fulfillment in creating stories that make others laugh, ache, and fall in love.
Beautifully Mistaken is her English-language debut under the Purple Romanticism imprint.
She also illustrated the cover herself, combining her love for visual storytelling with the emotional pulse of K-romance.
Originally written in Korean, the novel has been reimagined for global readers with the same depth and heart as the original.
