Korean Literature in the European Publishing Market

Korean Literature in the European Publishing Market   2020.12.07   Violet   The publication rights of writer Shin Kyung-Sook's third full-length novel Violet (Munhakdongne) were sold to Weidenfeld & Nicolson in Britain in November 2020. This publisher released Please Look After Mom (Changbi) of writer Shin in April 2011, and in the following year, the writer was honored with the Man Asian Literary Prize. Violet is Shin Kyung-Sook's second full-length novel to be published in Britain after Please Look After Mom. The title "Violet" has multiple implications; it is a type of flower, a color, and a metaphor for a shy woman. And at the same time, the feeble image is naturally linked to "violence." The writer blends such various meanings embedded within the story through several illustrations and metaphors. Violet is a story of distorted desire and a rotation of all writings where the frustration of all desires and desires for writing follow one after another into the nov...

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Sang-Wook A recommendation for a science book that all can enjoy, while retaining its essence   2022.01.03   Regardless of the sector, it is meaningful to lower the entry barrier to make it more accessible and give a sense of closeness to the general public. Books are great enablers in those efforts. It goes the same for science, which people often find challenging to approach.

Writer So-yeon Park

Korean Authors   Writer So-yeon Park   2022.01.03     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, my name is So-yeon Park. I write and offer lectures for people who work. I have written various books including High Performers Know How to Stay Simple: Working Habits of Top Performers (GILBUT Publishers) and I am also the CEO of Mentor Grace.   Why did you become a writer?   I came to a turning point and asked myself whether I would like to move forward after 12 years of working for a company. My answer to the question previously would have been to stay at work without question, but when I was given the choice, I started to feel that I didn't want to be doing this for the next 5, 10, 20 years. So I wondered what kind of business I would be able to start without any capital, and then I thought that writing something and giving lectures based on the content would work out fairly well - that is why I became a writer.   Do you ha...

Chopsticks That Move Before Words, Jeong(情)

Image of K-Book   Chopsticks That Move Before Words, Jeong (情)     2026.03     Voting results : "Scenes that Remind Us of Korean 'Jeong'"   When we asked, “What scene comes to mind when you think of the Korean sentiment of Jeong?”, the most frequent answer was “sharing side dishes or kimchi” (48.8%). This result clearly shows that Korean Jeong is revealed not through grand words or declarations, but rather first through the consideration practiced quietly at the dining table. Warm words such as “Eat more” or “You like this, don't you?” are certainly important, but there are moments when the heart is delivered even more vividly. Small movements, such as the act of gently pushing a side dish bowl closer so someone can easily reach it with their chopsticks, the act of silently serving another portion of k...

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books   2020.11.02       Today, reading paper books has become just one of the many ways of enjoying books. Even though you don’t necessarily “bite or taste” the books like that famous advertisement phrase, you are able to enjoy books through various channels. In particular, the transformation of diverse media based on books began to lead the new generation where you “watch, listen to, and experience” books. Some people say that “texts will be replaced with videos in the new era,” but such transformation led by the development of platforms is live evidence that books are still more of an interesting or competitive medium than you might think. This is because a generation of videos without texts or books is like a castle built on sand.   Modern society has entered an era where you watch, listen to, and experience books.     Book-related TV Programs are Fading Away   “Book...
