National Library of Korea(NLK)’s Pick: Essay

National Library of Korea(NLK)’s Pick: Essay   2021.05.03     The writer is a humble doctor that says it was all thanks to luck that he entered medical school.

After he quit the hospital after residency, he would reminisce about the stability he had when he belonged to the hospital. Yet, he soon feels true happiness as he encounters uncertain, unstable situations throughout the journey where things do not go as he planned.

Yoo Sun-Kyong, an author who is loved for her best sellers Emotional Vocabulary (Annes’ Library) and Vocabulary of Adults (Annes’ Library), focuses on putting names and expressions on feelings and lets readers face the feelings they disregard.

3rd Week, June 2021 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2021.07.05   One book topped the bestseller lists of four major online bookstores in Korea in the third week of June 2021.

It seems that readers’ curiosity towards the candid feelings of Cho Kuk surrounding several disputes has been the driving factor for its rising popularity. Other books about politics and society joined the bestsellers’ list as well.
