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 ...

Topic   Publishing Industry Full of Consolation andSympathy in the Post-COVID-19 Era   2022.07.04   “Since my mother was not loved, I believed she would love more. Since my mother did not have anything, I thought she would fill someone’s heart more than others.

Storybowl

Korean Publishers   Storybowl A bowl that holds thoughtful, heartwarming stories   2025.12.01   Everyone, at least once in childhood, would have imagined something like this: a drawing on a blank sheet of paper suddenly popping out and speaking to you.

With her fingertips, she delicately builds the world of her stories, transforming imagination into something tangible. In 2005, she was selected as “Illustrator of the Year” at the Bologna Ragazzi Awards, gaining recognition not only in Korea, but also abroad.

Poet Na Tae-Joo

Korean Authors   Poet Na Tae-Joo Poetry, a language of longing shaped by what is missing   2025.12.01   Poetry is the most distilled form of language - words that can express the heart with absolute clarity. How romantic is someone who knows a poem by heart? And, what if so many people know the very same poem?

Ever since it appeared on the well-known message board on the exterior of the Kyobo Life building in Gwanghwamun, it has become a nationally beloved poem - yet it continues to linger deeply and resonate with quiet force. The following is an interview with poet Na Tae-Joo, who has engraved poetry in the hearts of the Korean people for more than 55 years.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers along with a brief introduction of yourself.   It’s a p...

Storyseller

Korean Publishers   Storyseller A storyteller who delivers unique experiences to the public   2025.10.02   Just as words have power, a name that is spoken often should not only convey identity and vision but also carry a positive meaning. What if we employed homonyms, words with multiple meanings? Such a name, open to diverse interpretations depending on context and intent, also carries a sense of wit and delight. Storyseller (이야기장수; Iyagijangsu), founded by Lee Yeon-Sil, one of Korea’s most celebrated editors, fills its books with stories as diverse and engaging as the word jangsu (장수), a term that itself carries multiple meanings, including “seller.” More than just selling stories, Storyseller seeks to reach readers everywhere, sharing life stories that are ordinary yet one of a kind.   Logo of Storyseller     It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

Writer Seo Hyun

Korean Authors   Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination   2025.10.02   Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...
