Seoul International Book Fair 2020

Seoul International Book Fair 2020 New Attempts and Experiments in the Era of COVID-19 2020.12.07 Official poster of the Seoul International Book Fair Early this year, the Seoul International Book Fair organizers had been busy preparing for the next fair set to be held in June as usual. However, as the first big wave of the pandemic crisis hit Korea in February and persisted into March and April, most cultural art events that amass a big audience had to be canceled or postponed until the second half of the year. As such, the SIBF could not be held in June, as unforeseeable circumstances curtailed the freedom of movement. It was also difficult to predict how the situation would change, so taking the event's original form and plans was a high risk. The Seoul International Book Fair 2020 had no other choice but to take on a new challenge. Physical isolation, non-contact, and online platforms accelerated the changes and made the Book Fair think of a new para...

My Child is a Talker, My Nephew is an Interviewer

Book Grocery My Child is a Talker,My Nephew is an Interviewer 2026.05 A Story from a Mother Raising a Son I am a mother raising a son. Since he was about two years old, my child has been exceptionally articulate. He started speaking earlier than his peers, always had plenty to say, and above all, talked incessantly. At daycare, I constantly heard things like, "He’s so bright," and "He expresses himself so well." Naturally, I assumed, "My child and I communicate so well together.“ However, there was a day when that assumption was completely shattered. It happened when I met my nephew, who is the same age as my son. Meeting him after a long time, I noticed my nephew had grown into an elementary schooler who chatted away comfortably. But something about him was different. "Auntie, what did you do today?" ...

Writer Yi Hyeon

Korean Authors Writer Yi Hyeon 2021.12.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hello, My name is Yi Hyeon, author of children’s books and youth novels. Nice to meet you. Why do you write youth novels? People often talk about middle schoolers’ 'puberty', 'youth', and 'the young generation' as if they were disorders, and always look at the young in such a way. Also, there seems to be a tendency to generalize about young people. Such is the world of youth. So, I wanted to write youth’s stories. That's also why I have recently been meeting with some students. Do you remember any young adults? I heard the “dating story” of a child in the third year of high school. It was a love story that hadn’t yet started. I listened and I was thrilled. And through his concerns he showed different thoughts. It was very nice to see the way he is being nurtured and developed. How do you decide the story for your...
