Members of this list who can write in Korean on their smartphones and love Korean poetry might want to know that Changbi publishing have launched (through Google Play) a remarkable poetry App for smartphones, 시요일, Siyoil, (all in Korean of course). It allows you to read and search and share and do a variety of interesting things with a database of no less than 33,000 modern Korean poems they have published, including many from books now out of print. They promise an Internet version for later. See https://www.siyoil.com/ The front page opens on a snippet from a "poem of the day" with Kim Su-Yeong's "Blue Sky" today to commemorate it being 4.19 the 1960 April Revolution of grievous memory.
