"Sonagi" (소나기), also known as "Rain Shower", is a short story written by Korean writer Hwang Sun-won in 1952. Like many of Hwang’s stories, it was written while he lived as a refugee with his family during the Korean War. A sonagi is a brief, heavy rain shower that starts suddenly and ends quickly, typically on a hot summer afternoon. In the story, it symbolizes the short but heart-rending love between a boy and a girl. Although many of Hwang’s short stories are notable, “Sonagi” is cited as his timeless Korean classic and continues to be one of the most-read short stories in Korean literature. Koreans of all ages are acquainted with this story, but its addition to the school curriculum has made it particularly popular among schoolchildren. It is famous for its poignant depiction of the Korean countryside and innocent adolescent love.
