Novelist Lee Oi-soo's Memories-Twitter Follow-up Case
 |
| Novelist Lee Oi-soo (Sports Dong-A DB) |
The big star of Korean literature has fallen.
His name is Lee Oi-soo.
He was a huge peak in Korean fiction.
Lee Oi-soo died on April 26.
The name of his illness was pneumonia, and he was 76 years old.
He has been battling pneumonia since last March.
But in the end, he didn't win over the disease.
Lee was nicknamed "President Twitter."
He was a celebrity with 1.7 million followers on Twitter.
I have memories of his Twitter account.
In 2008, I started Twitter.
At that time, it was before the Twitter boom in Korea.
Many celebrities, including politicians and celebrities, have just started Twitter.
However, there were not many media workers such as journalists.
Thanks to this, I could easily get many followers early in my Twitter career as a journalist.
My follower count was even interested in the media group I was working for.
There was even a time when my follower count was similar to that of Lee Oi-soo.
Of course, in less than a month, the gap has grown very large. (Laughing)
Lee was very famous on Twitter.
Many people followed Lee and wanted him to follow them.
But Lee did not follow everyone else.
Above all, the number was too high.
Finally, Lee declared.
It was to follow only those who sent impressive tweets to Lee.
A few days later, Lee posted on his Twitter account.
He met Professor Hwang Byung-ki, the "best gayageum player of the century."
Professor Hwang Byung-ki was an excellent performer and music educator for the traditional Korean instrument Gayageum.
I once visited Professor Hwang Byung-ki's house and interviewed him.
Hwang Byung-ki died in 2018.
I sent a tweet to Lee Oi-soo.
It was something like this.
Mr. Lee, this century is only eight years old.
The next day, I saw my Twitter and burst into laughter.
Lee Oi-soo followed me. (Laughing)
<Rest in peace, Mr. Lee Oi-soo>
