Kim Haki was born on June 24, 1958 in Ulsan, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea. Kim attended Busan National University, and after participating in the student movement was arrested in 1980 for demonstrating against the expansion of Korean Martial Law. Involved in the Burim incident, Kim was sentenced to ten years in prison, of which he served eight years, and was released in 1988.
Life
After his release from prison Kim became a full-time writer when he published A Young Man Imprisoned, which was a collection of poems and letters he had composed while imprisoned. In 1989 his story Living Tomb was published in Changbi Magazine. Kim's short story collection Complete Union won the first Im Sygyeong Unification Literary Award and in 1992 he received the 10th Shing Dong-yeop Creative Fund for Writers Prize.
