Korea’s Flagship Literary Awards for Poems

Korea’s Flagship Literary Awards for Poems “Kim Su-Young Literary Award” and “Sowol Poetry Award”   2020.04.06   Poet Kim Su-Young (1921-1968), Sowol Kim Jung-Sik (1902-1934)     Kim Su-Young Literary Award   Kim Su-Young, a representative poet in Korea who participated in movements with literature, entered the literary world in 1947 when his poem The Song of Myojeong was published in a literary magazine Art Village (Yesul Burak). His passion for art never faded amidst the gloomy reality during the Japanese occupation. With endless efforts to equalize poems with life, the language used in his poems did not draw a line between poetic and daily expressions for the first time in Korea’s modern poems. He began as a modernist in the beginning criticizing the modern civilization and urban life; Kim Su-Young’s poetic world encountered a drastic change when historical incidents, the fraudulent election on March 15, 1960, and the April 19 Revolutio...

Before I won that award, I had about 10 years of preparation and long before that in school I wrote in literary clubs so I’ve been writing for a long time. When I experience a bit of writer’s block, I think of my middle school years when I used to write short novels. I also think of the novel that won my first award and made me a novelist. In betwee...

The future of bookstores seen in GyeongJu A City of Ancient Secrets   2020.04.06     For about 1,000 years from 57 B.C. to 935 B.C., Gyeongju was the capital of the ancient kingdom Silla; it is a city of history and culture treasuring ancient heritage. Royal Tombs - where the tombs of ancient kings are gathered, Cheomseongdae Observatory - the best observatory in the Eastern world built with 365 stones, Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram - world cultural heritages, and the Underwater Tomb of King Munmu ? where the king was buried underwater and urged to protect the kingdom from the afterlife as a dragon, are all located in Gyeongju. Gyeongju, the treasure chest of mysterious secrets in history has been a popular tourist destination for a long time. The first thing that comes to your eyes as you step into the downtown of Gyeongju is the giant tomb standing among low-roof houses.

Speech and Literature were the weapons of women

Speech and Literature were the weapons of women Status of Korean feminism and changes made in the Korean publishing industry since 2015   2020.03.02     There is no such thing as “Korean Feminism.” Yet, there is a history of Korean feminism fighting against the deep-seated hatred against women in society. The year 2015 is likely to be recorded as the most important period in the Korean history of feminism. In January, a Korean teenage boy who sought to join the Islamic State in Syria lamented that men are being discriminated against, voicing his hatred of women. In February, a pop culture journalist, male, published a column titled “Anencephalous feminism is more dangerous than ISIS” in a fashion magazine. This triggered women’s joint criticism of his comment and subsequently initiated feminist activism via the (hashtag) #iamafeminist on Twitter in South Korea. Later that year, a Korean rapper released a controversial song about his hate against women...

Book Factory Dubulu

Book Factory Dubulu One-person Publisher for Animal Rights   2018.05.30   The South Korean public's interest in animals is growing by the day. More people are recognizing animals must be protected and as many celebrities join the movement it is far from a foreign concept now. However, this trend didn't appear naturally. Society is only changing because of someone's desperate cries and actions for change from when no one thought about animal preservation. Book Factory Dubulu, founded in 2006, is one of those entities who sought change. The publisher created momentum for change in people's thoughts and actions as they consistently published books on animals. There are few publishers that specialize in books on animals but even fewer that touch on animal rights. We became interested in how this publisher was able to operate their business for 13 years and why. Surrounded by sleeping cats, we met with founder Kim Bo-kyung and listened to the publisher's story.     KPIP...
