SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.

Korean Publishers   SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. Stories That Find Meaning in Everyday Moments   2026.01.05   We are living in an age of “dopamine addiction.” The quiet appreciation woven into everyday routines has gradually faded, replaced by a constant pursuit of stimulation. Yet, isn’t “true dopamine” found instead in the comfort and encouragement we receive at the end of a difficult day? Much like ordinary water, which becomes precious only when we are thirsty, a single sip of spring water can feel invaluable. Perhaps our relentless search for dopamine is not because daily life is too mundane, but because we have let gratitude slip past us as easily as water flowing away. Following is an interview with SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. (“SAMTOH”), a wellspring for small but meaningful stories that find new life in book form.   Logo of SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.     It’s a pleasure...

Rather than chasing grand success, writer Taesoo lives by his own standards of satisfaction. Even when life is difficult, he speaks of a life that remains happy nonetheless.

Travel Bookstore’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Travel Bookstore’s Pick   2022.08.01   I opened a small bookstore in Donghae, Gangwondo Province. It was not that I had a connection to it ? the lecture I gave at a library, by coincidence, was the beginning of everything. The first time I met the head of the library, I enviously said, “It would be great to live near the sea,” and he answered proudly, “Of course. You must try living here, too.” So, I took a month off to live in Donghae, which was not planned, and I fell in love with the sun’s energy that shone on the ocean every day.The 5-minute away ocean, nice people, and charmingly neat alleys seized my heart, which made me think seriously about moving to Donghae for good. So, with the idea of creating a hub in the area that introduces Donghae to travelers and the world to local residents, I opened a travel bookstore called “Zanzan Bookshop.” Naturally, I looked for books related to the region when I started choosing books to put on ...
