A Summer Trip with Books

A Summer Trip with Books The hot summer could be cool in another way!   2021.07.05   Spring, summer, fall, and winter. Summer has come again to tell us that half of the year has passed. In Korea, summer beings in June and lasts until August. The scorching sunlight could blind us, but most Koreans long for summer throughout the year. Students and office workers all wait for their summer vacation. Summer has a surprisingly charming point everybody loves as the season of relaxation. It makes you think of the color crimson red that resembles the sunlight under the sizzling weather, but it also makes you think of the color blue that recalls the cool waves of the ocean where we go to evade the summer heat.

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher   2021.07.05   Why Diamond acquired the publication rights of the book, I Almost Lived Too Hard   It was April 2019 when I heard about the book I Almost Lived Too Hard (Woongjin ThinkBig) (Japanese title: あやうく一生懸命生きるところだった).

Books related to emotional sicknesses such as depression and stress were trending in the Japanese publishing market around that time, and there was already the atmosphere among the public that the book’s topic of “not living to the fullest” might be accepted. As I also had a time when my mind was very distressed, I wanted to present this book to people with “exhausted minds.”Besides, it was around that time that another bestselling Korean book, I Decided to Live As Myself (Woods of Mind’s Books) (Japanese title: 私は私のままで生きることにした) began ...

Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do Where bookstores bloom slow but steady   2021.07.05     Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do Province. It is trendy as it neighbors Seoul to the southeast and somehow tense as it faces the border area with North Korea. Gimpo, the newly emerging region of culture, can be found in the northwest part of Seoul. New bookstores are settling in recently in Gimpo as well. Also, its old town has turned into a cultural hot spot called "100th Street", where the 100-plus-years-old churches, schools, catholic churches, and markets can be found. In particular, the strong solidarity among bookstores has formed a community of their own. The Gimpo bookstores bonded together to create a co-op, working to become sustainable bookstores. Let’s take a look at newly established bookstores less than 1-year-old in Gimpo, where you can embrace the relaxing atmosphere in the suburban area of Seoul.   Views of “1...
