Actor-writer Cha In-pyo, who captivated Oxford with his sincere writing, appeared in the 259th episode of 'You Quiz on the Block (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz')', which aired on the 28th.
On this day, Cha In-pyo said, "If We Look at the Same Star One Day" was selected as a required book by Oxford University in the UK. "Though people around me were surprised, I was surprised the most." "It's awkward to call me Cha In-pyo," he said, drawing laughter.
When Yoo Jae-seok asked "Did the school contact you directly?" Cha In-pyo "That's right. I got a call from the professor at Oxford University. 'I suggested that I want to use it for my master's and doctoral courses in the 3rd and 4th grades, so I said, 'Thank you.'"
Then "If selected as a textbook, I sent it to each college because it said it would keep 43 books." Oxford says that once a book goes in, it can't be discarded as it pleases. I'm going to go and take a look around next year..." he said with a shy smile.

Cha In-pyo said "He was taken to Japanese Military Sexual Slavery in 1942 and returned to Korea after 55 years, but he forgot Korean, but he stuttered and sang 'Arirang". Didn't a lot of women go through that while watching that? Many emotions crossed my mind as I thought about the history. It was sadness, anger, and shame of failing to keep women. After months of being unable to calm down, he explained that he began by saying, `Let me try writing this as a novel.'
When Yoo Jae-seok commented "It took 10 years to think and create a novel", Cha In-pyo began to learn "Lately because he did not know how to write a novel and had no basic knowledge." I learned by myself, read composition books, and took online lectures."
Cha In-pyo then wrote "I don't know what others will be like when I write, but someone keeps talking to me from the back of my head. 'Don't use it. Give it up. I don't know who's going to write this because they're reading this. I'm thinking, "My mother is farming, and when she comes back from farming, she'll email me, "I've written this much, you're tired, but can you take a look at it?" and she asked me a lot of questions. In the meantime, my mother said 'Inpyo, imagination is important for a writer, but imagination that is not based on facts is like a result built on sand. It's become an evening of where to start."
Cha In-pyo, who was enlightened by his mother's words, climbed Baekdu Mountain, the background of the novel, and constantly researched data.
Cha In-pyo "At that time, women were taken to the Japanese military 'Japanese Military Sexual Slavery' when they were 16 and 17 years old. In fact, according to her testimony, Mrs. Hoon also said that when she packed her bags and went out of the village where she was planting at 16, she was full of maidens from all over the neighborhood. I arrived in Singapore on the 15th by boat"There was a history in our country where people were treated like that when they were really precious. have a heartache and a sense of shame," he added.
