What I Discovered in the Crevices of the City

One-Liner Quotes   What I Discovered in the Crevices of the City     2026.06     After moving to the capital, the Seoul that I so diligently explored became divided into roughly two categories for me: that which leaves a memory, and that which leaves an impression. Typically, things that were grand and splendid belonged to the former, while things that were small and tender remained as the latter. Memories held a sort of momentary intensity, as if capturing the “me” of that exact moment in a mirror. On the other hand, things that were small or ordinary left a faint trace of when or where they were found; yet, they were unmistakably discovered in the world outside of myself, leaving behind something entirely new that did not previously exist within me. In the form of a continuous and perpetual subconscious, these d...

A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑬] A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow   2026.01.05       Famous cities around the world tend to carry images of their own. Paris, the city of romance; New York, the center of popular culture; and Rome, often regarded as the very heart of ancient European culture?each city’s name becomes an icon and an object of aspiration. In this way, Moscow, the capital of Russia, the largest country in the world, has long been perceived as the center of the “Iron Curtain.” The term “Iron Curtain,” used during World War II by Nazi propaganda minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, referred to the closed nature of the Soviet Union and the communist states of Eastern Europe at the time. It portrayed the Soviet Union’s isolationist policies and police-state system as an “impenetrable barrier.” In 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also expressed...

A World Carried by the Yangtze River: Shanghai

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑩] A World Carried by the Yangtze River: Shanghai   2025.10.02       Shanghai has always been a paradoxical space in Chinese history. What is now the city of Shanghai was once Shanghai County (上海縣), under Jiangsu Province (江?省), functioning as an administrative town and regional market-port, though it was no match for Suzhou (?州市) or Hangzhou (杭州市). Everything changed in 1842, after the First Opium War and the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, when Shanghai was designated as a treaty port. European powers established concessions, exercising administrative and policing authority and enjoying extraterritorial rights. From China’s perspective, it was hardly different from colonial subjugation.Yet Shanghai rapidly developed alongside the influx of foreign powers. Rival empires competed to exhibit their strength, and individuals carved out their own spheres through we...

An Island With a History Rougher Than Any Storm at Sea: Sicily

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑨] An Island With a History Rougher Than Any Storm at Sea: Sicily   2025.09.04       Is there any nation whose history runs smoothly from start to finish? Every chapter of human history bears its share of scars?wars, invasions, and natural disasters. In Sicily, those scars are carved deeper and are easier to see. In the 8th century BCE, the island was settled by the Greeks; later, it became a Roman province, remembered as the granary of the empire. After the fall of Rome and the great migrations of the Germanic peoples, the island became a prize fought over by the Islamic powers of North Africa and the Byzantine Empire. By the 9th century, it had become an Islamic emirate; in the late 11th century, the Normans seized it and founded the Kingdom of Sicily. For the next 200 years, the island was ruled by the Normans, followed by roughly 400 yea...

Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ③] Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders   2025.03.10       Berlin was a city divided into East and West by the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. For Koreans, it is also a place they feel an emotional connection to as they share the same history of division. In 1989, the Berlin Wall finally collapsed and Germany was reunified; now, the East Side Gallery stands in its place as a memorial. Stretching a whopping 1,316 meters long, it is the world’s largest open-air gallery - 108 artists from 21 countries drew 105 paintings on the wall in 1990 with messages of peace, unity, and opposition to war. Once a symbol of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall has now become a symbol of hope and freedom, a new Berlin landmark and a must-see tourist attraction that has touched and inspired many people.Berlin is a city that draws young travelers from al...

One-Liner Quotes   Two Ways to Read Spring in April Columnist’s Pick   2024.05.07   Former journalist for Elle and Esquire, Min Yong-Jun is a freelance columnist, appearing on TV, lecturing, and writing. He wrote Yesterday’s Film, Today’s Director, and Tomorrow’s Conversation (Zene Scene), a collection of interviews he had with 13 directors.   The seasons are always honest and dutiful - they do what they must when the time comes, without hesitation.

Spring is always an invigorating and promising season, as if giving those who have missed the start of a new year a second chance to get back on the starting line. Although we often say that spring begins in March, it is usually April when we can truly enjoy it. So, I have selected 2 books that I think are perfect for April, when spring fully blooms.   ...
