Fails WP:GNG, lacking significant coverage and secondary sources. Despite appearing to have references, most of these are either a circular primary source, not pertinent to the topic, or a WP:OR to extend the contents.

• https://www.hankyung.com/economy/article/2019110435571 - The article cites this as if it's an overview of the contents of the book, but it is not. It's an interview of the author, with the book getting only a passing mention.
• https://health.snu.ac.kr/node/63 - the author's self-written introduction on his university website. The link is broken.
• https://www.yes24.com/24/AuthorFile/Author/174438 - a promotional storefront page.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92twITHF5WQ - WP:YOUTUBE. It's the author giving some lecture, not about the book.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5tJvDZMb_Q - WP:YOUTUBE. Another unrelated video about the author.
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tF-C3K66aA - WP:YOUTUBE. Same as above.
• https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20180303049000002 - this citation is fabricated; this source does not mention the book or the author. It's WP:OR.
• https://www.khan.co.kr/article/201904032238005 - the only source that is about the book.
• https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20171010057800017 - another fabricated reference; this also doesn't mention the book or the author.
• https://blog.naver.com/hong8706/220831206656 - Personal blog. WP:SPS.
• https://news.joins.com/article/22586875 - the link is broken. I can't find the original source.
• https://www.donga.com/news/Opinion/article/all/20141119/67979257/1 - Doesn't mention the book.

Skipping the rest because they're self-references. I looked up this book, and a few sources I found usually talk more about the author than the book, which rarely gets more than a few mentions. This was created in 2019, and it only attracted questionable sources and made-up references until now. This article is unsalvageable. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 12:03, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
