At the top of https://www.librarything.com/profile/ddrucker/stats/deadoralive in the 'unknown' list is "ŽÙÀÌ œÃÁö¿¡" which links to https://www.librarything.com/author/3587663662 ... which says there are No works.

If there are no works, why is it showing up in my list?

Because that is the author you have entered for https://www.librarything.com/work/2354/book/196409631

The author listed for the work is Dai Sijie

I think the problem is that you used the National Library of Korea as your source, so they likely had the author's name in Korean, and the characters got messed up.

You can edit this in your catalog. You'll want to edit the "other author" as well.

The other book entered with that source is https://www.librarything.com/work/95547/summary/196409719 which also needs editing or separating or something.

To fix it, on the page for your book https://www.librarything.com/work/2354/book/196409631 click "Edit your book" on the left.
