Round Ground Where dreams of a world full of well-rounded lives exist 2019.10.07 How does play begin? There are times when one ponders whether play has turned into learning. So much educational material and the media rarely think twice about directing children how to play, and caregivers are always eager to lead and interfere when children play. One may think there are right and wrong ways to play, but play will always be play. Playing is enough when it's enjoyed no matter the process, with fun materials and tools. Everything the eye can see, whether it be tree leaves, bubbles, passersby or the house you live in, can be materials for play or even play itself if it's visible and tangible. Children are aware of this joyful fact more than anyone else, and Round Ground is the place where that fun for children is raised to another level. Even just listening to the name Round Ground is fun. What meaning does the name Round Ground carry? Could you also introduce y...

Paju Book City

Paju Book City City of, for and by books 2019.10.07 There are cities that focus on creating things. Usually, in the case of these planned cities, all the businesses that provide the raw materials, packaging and shipping tend to be clustered together. Industrial zones tend to show this type of congregation as if they are sapped of romance and all the businesses simply exist for efficiency. However, the story becomes a little different if that industrial zone creates books. Publishers that left the city Its official name is Paju Publishing Culture Information National Industrial Zone. The name, already a mouthful, brings to mind the sound of engines, metal clanging and dust. It certainly cannot explain the entirety of what Paju Book City is. This is because the city of books has so many enticing characteristics, and it doesn't exist as a dreary space where everything focuses on production.It cannot be denied that Paju Book City was formed out of...

Hey Uhm

Hey Uhm Joyful Swimming in the Vast Sea of the Publishing Industry 2020.03.02 Publisher Hey Uhm There was a writer that would “directly sell” her writing to readers through Social Media. It is the story of writer Lee Seula, who came up with a clever idea to continue securing stable finance through writing. This fresh approach shocked the publishing industry which sparked little changes to take place. And writer Lee Seula, the one that ignited the changes, set up Hey Uhm to create books she wants. Writing a story and making a book. They are different in many aspects by nature except one thing that they are all for readers. Still, many questions arose regarding the publisher that was born with a bold decision and its founder. Writer Lee Seul-ah, founder of Publisher Hey Uhm ⓒ Ryu Han-kyung The name of the company, Hey Uhm, is unique. What does the name “Hey Uhm” imply? “Hey Uhm” is a pure Korean word that means “to swim.” The feeling I...

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe 2018.06.28 As we are approaching the third quarter of this year, K-thrillers(Korean thrillers) are emerging as the new leading force in the world’s publishing market. And at the center of that whirlwind are authors like Jeong You-jeong, Kim Un-su and Seo Mi-ae. The attention on these authors - whose work can be summarized into three words: mystery, thriller, crime - has been heating up from global publishers. Not only has interest been burgeoning in Europe, especially English speaking countries there, but also in Asia. One point to note is that this interest from the global publishing market in Korean literature, especially K-thrillers, is not entirely new. Global publishers, especially those in English dominant countries, have consistently been drawn to titles in this genre. However, if that interest had not led to exports before, soft interest at home and a lack of sales marketing for these books were likely to blame. Wha...

Humanist Books

Humanist Books Spreading wide, deep knowledge and culture 2017.10.10 Recently, I set out to conduct an interview with Seo-hyeon Hwang, executive editor at Humanist Books. After setting out from Hongik Univ. Station and finding my way through the narrow paths of Yeonnam-dong, passing by several pretty cafes with outdoor seating, I found myself before a gray, modern building. The word "Humanist" can plainly be seen on one side of the building. After stepping into the coffee shop on the first floor and making my way down a set of stairs I discovered books Humanist has published, all organized neatly.From the basement to the top, the floors of the building are well connected, like water flowing. From the outside it is clearly a building with sharp angles, but the interior everything fits perfectly. I randomly lift my head in the center of the building and the open ceiling lends a view of the blue sky above.I think to myself, 'This is a quite human building'. From the exterio...

Author Serang Chung

Author Serang Chung A charming author and her fascinating story 2020.03.02 Is there anything more exciting than imagination?

She is someone that has boundless imagination. Besides, the world she created makes not only herself but everyone joyful. So her imagination brought to reality through letters is now turning into a video, going beyond paper books. As the stories are rooted in the author’s imagination that are not tied to anything, the news is more welcoming to hear. ⓒ Hung-Ku Kim We heard that you worked as an editor in the so-called “pure literature” field such as Minumsa and Munhakdongne. Now you have built a firm reputation in the field of genre literature. Since when were you first attracted to this field? And we would also like to know how that made you decid...
