The publication of this work is part of a project to translate literary works selected by the Korea-Vietnam peace culture federation, which was established by Korean and Vietnamese writers and has been engaged in cultural exchange and collaboration for the past 30 years.

Translator Ha Jae-hong said that it took him five months to translate the work, adding that through literature and specific works such as "I and Them", Korean people can gain insights into Vietnamese culture.

Ha has previously translated numerous Vietnamese literary works into Korean, including "Canh dong bat tan" (The Endless Field), "Noi buon chien tranh" (Sorrow of War), and "Chi Pheo”.
