Publication Industry’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Publication Industry’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic 2020.07.13 Critique and composer Choi Jung-Woo said in his article “Era of Social Media: What is the Role of Humanities (The Kyunghyang Shinmun, December 18, 2012)” that Twitter and Facebook are referred to as bywords for modern “communication” but are never in the style of “dialogue,” and as such are paradoxically against the communicative function expected of them as “Social Networks.” He argued that Twitter is closer to laying out “testimonies” and that Facebook is more like an “exhibition” than being a platform for communication, and that with the two having more of a “monologue” characteristic, Social Media is having a negative impact on the development of humanities.Seven years and four months later, in his article “Humanities in the era of Social Media: The Gaze of Signs Emerging with Intervention (Giheok Heoui Vol. 504, January 20th, 2020)”, he once again claimed that “Even though t...

Writer Kim Soo-hyun

Korean Authors Writer Kim Soo-hyun 2021.09.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, I am Kim Soo-hyun the author of I Decided to Live as Me (Woods of Mind’s Books) and Comfortably Without Trying Too Hard (Dasan Books). Why did you choose the profession of writer? In my case, I had a strong feeling that I had to ‘live like other people’ for some unknown reason. I tried very hard to adhere to this belief but it didn’t really work out, so I started thinking ‘if this is how its going to be’ it would be better to spend my energy on things I really want to do and put my effort into such things.’ So I quit my job and started writing about what I really wanted to talk about with some seriousness - and this became the book you know as I Decided to Live as Me. What kind of person do you think writers are? Writers are ‘Process is mentee’, ‘Result is mentor’ is what I think. Many people might feel ...

Because I always lived with a lot of hunger for painting, working on writing and painting was a natural choice for me. Your dog Kung-i is so cute, can you intro...

Picture book artist Lee Suzy

Korean Authors Picture book artist Lee Suzy 2021.08.02 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, I’m Lee Suzy. I’m a picture book artist. Nice to meet you. What kind of person do you think a picture book Artist is? I think that a picture book writer is a person who builds and plays with the power of pictures and creates a story in a book. I was interested in the medium of books. Rather than just pieces of paper that contain a story. I’m also interested in books with power. In my case, I am interested in pictures with such power. In that sense, for me, “pictures” and “books” are equally important in picture books. River (BIR) How did you become a picture book artist? I majored in painting at art college. I drew on large canvases and after graduating, I wanted to keep painting. I was thinking about how to make a living doing this an...

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung

Author-illustrator Myung Soojung 2021.07.05 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, this is Myung Soojung, the illustrated book author. I published I Like Music for My Eyes (Gloyeon), The Skirt That Spreads to the End of the World (Gloyeon), and Big and Bigger (Gloyeon). How was your childhood? I grew up in the countryside. If I hadn’t experienced the city when I got older. Probably I couldn't have made these books. All day in the yard, I think I was very happy just looking at the clouds. Seeing the stars at night. Grandma's and grandfather's love there are memorable. What kind of person do you think writers are? Writers spend time in their own space. They spend time alone and isolated. I think it is like a spring deep in the mountains. To the reader, a writer can be spring water. And sometimes, if the spring water is clear like a mirror, it can reflect a person. In that respect, I think an author is a sp...
