The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers

Topic   The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers   2023.02.20   There is a new wind blowing into Korean literature. With the emergence of new media, we hear that literature will soon face its demise every time. However, even in the era of YouTube and Netflix, Korean literature still keeps its blood young with the inflow of new writers. At the center of the new flow stands the so-called Gen-MZ (Millennials + Gen Z) writers, born in the 1980s and 1990s. Gen MZ writers, such as Choi Eun-Yung, Chung Se-Rang, Jang Ryu-Jin, Park Sang-Young, Kim Cho-Yeop, and Cheon Seon-Ran, are highlighted as the future of Korean literature. As the new year 2023 loomed, many publishers released a list of books to be published, which includes Gen-MZ writers' names.   Writer Choi Eun-Yung, Park Sang-Young, and Chung Se-Rang (ⓒMunhakdongne Publishing Group)...

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.S.A.

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...

Museum Curator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Museum Curator’s Pick   2023.02.20     Westerners who visited “Joseon (the previous name of Korea)” in the 19th century described the country as the “Hermit Kingdom” or the “Land of Morning Calm.” Since that was how Joseon was depicted by foreigners, a third party, I just thought so, too. However, was Joseon, a dynasty that lasted for as long as 500 years, nothing but a reclusive and silent country? Landscape of Joseon’s Backstreet (Purunyoksa) by Kang Myung-Kwan is filled with content that would be exciting for those who usually get overwhelmed and bored by the word “history.” I used to know Joseon as a country dominated by strong Confucian culture and noble seonbi (scholars), but I wondered what made the author so eager to depict the landscape of the kingdom’s alleys. Even now, alleys are riskier and scarier than main roads as we don’t ...

The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World

Topic   The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World   2023.01.02   I met Kristen Vida Alfaro, CEO of Tilted Axis Press, in the UK last September. Tilted Axis Press is the publisher set up by Debora Smith, who won the International Booker Prize with Han Kang. The company introduced Love in the Big City (Changbi Publishers) written by Park Sang-Young and translated by Anton Hur to the UK, and the book put its name on the Booker Prize Longlist this year. Also, translated by the same translator, Chung Bora’s Cursed Bunny (Arzak) was selected for the Booker Prize Shortlist. As such, Korean literature ? or K-literature ? has recently been creating a sensation in English-speaking countries. If you take a closer look at the phenomenon, you will realize that diaspora literature written by Korean-Americans is at the center of popularity, such as Lee Min-Jin’s Pachinko and Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H Mart.   * K-Book Trends Vol. 47 ?

Export Case   Korean Books Published in Thailand through Nanmeebooks K-Book Promotion Strategy in Thai Publishing Market   2023.01.02   Around 10 years ago, Thai children reading educational comics, whether in bookstores, libraries, or school areas, became familiar to Thai people. With colorful illustrations, easy-to-read content, friendly numbers of characters, well-managed information sections, and various topics, there was no doubt that parents put their trust in educational comics and viewed them as a form of knowledge packed with entertainment that were easy to buy as a gift for young readers.Unquestionably, Thai people are fond of cartoons. Tracing back to the 90s, when entertainment media for children were few, cartoons seemed to be the only option available. Since then, cartoons have become familiar to Thai people and have had a great influence on them, especially manga. With a rich variety of contents for all ages and affordable prices, manga has abruptl...
