Paju Book City City of, for and by books 2019.10.07 There are cities that focus on creating things. Usually, in the case of these planned cities, all the businesses that provide the raw materials, packaging and shipping tend to be clustered together. Industrial zones tend to show this type of congregation as if they are sapped of romance and all the businesses simply exist for efficiency. However, the story becomes a little different if that industrial zone creates books. Publishers that left the city Its official name is Paju Publishing Culture Information National Industrial Zone.

Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges 2019.09.09 Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan. Travel into layers of time The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today. For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination. It is a port city that leads to the Pacific...

North Korea Seen Through Books, and the Unification of the Korean Peninsula

North Korea Seen Through Books, and the Unification of the Korean Peninsula 2019.08.05 On the last day of June this year, a historic event happened in the border village of Panmunjom straddling the two Koreas when the leaders of the United States and North Korea met for the first time. Just a mere 62 km away from Seoul, this location was where the ceasefire armistice was signed in July 1953 to put a stop to the Korean War that had raged for three years between North and South Korea. Although U.S. President Donald Trump stepped over to North Korea for just a minute and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for 53 minutes, the image of the two men shaking hands heightened hopes that the Korean peninsula could move further towards denuclearization and peace. There are several books that address this reality on the Korean peninsula that have received much interest from the publishing industry in South Korea. Books that help children and adolescents understand the reality o...
