[TREND / BOOK TRIP]

Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ④] Chaeg Bar A Healing Space Where Books and Liquor Harmonize 2023.05.02 The area in front of Hongik University, where restaurants, bars, and clubs are focused, is known as an area for young people. Walk along the Yeonhuiro road, past the crowded street, and you will find a bar that shows off a unique concept - “Chaeg Bar.” Chaeg Bar, which is like finding treasure hidden deep inside an alley, is a “drinking bookstore” - a bar and a night bookstore - like its name suggests (chaeg means book in Korean). A bar and a bookstore seem like an awkward mix, but Chaeg Bar has been getting word of mouth as it was introduced by movie director Jang Hang-Jun, writer Kim Young-Ha, Kim Sang-Wook, and RM of BTS (idol group). It might not be easy to find the place as it is located between stores in a narrow alley, but it proudly says that “there might be people that have never visited us, but there is no one t...

I believe that you can find grounds for problems that remain unresolved today through history, and find clues for the future. In particular, the division of the Korean peninsula is one of the issues that I want to touch upon as a creator. In this context, this book provides easy explanations about things that we know vaguely about, or have no knowledge of, by starting with a question, “Can we become happier if the two Koreas are reunited?” Being familiar with something or things being obvious...

Byungjahoran (the Qing’s invasion of Joseon in Byungja year, 1636-1637) is a war that broke out in 1636 between Joseon and the Qing dynasty of China. The Qing invaded Joseon in anger at Joseon’s pro-Ming policy (a foreign policy favoring the Ming dynasty).

Export Case Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.S.A. Black Ocean, Lee Young-ju, the 2022 Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize for Cold Candies 2023.02.20 The idea for doing Moon Country, the contemporary Korean poetry series at Black Ocean, started around the time Janaka Stucky, the publisher, came to Korea for a series of readings and literary events in 2017. Along with the editor Carrie Olivia Adams, we decided we’d like to publish work that stood on its own, but also would be in conversation with the other Black Ocean titles. So that is why we set out to publish edgy, avant-garde, contemporary work published in Korea within the last 25 years or so.The series’ name comes from the famous poem and book Moon Country Mischief (the title of a Korean book: 『달나라의 장난』) by Kim Soo-young. A goal we have is that we want these books to challenge national literature discourses, we want to invite readers to inhabit these books...
