Reading: Sorting Out the Unchanging from the Changing

One-Liner Quotes   Reading: Sorting Out the Unchanging from the Changing Sportsperson’s Pick   2024.02.19   Jeong Ji-Hyeon has been climbing for 21 years. She served as a national athlete and as a coach for the national team. She still hasn’t forgotten the joy of competing and now works as a referee for Sport Climbing Asia. She also runs a center for people who enjoy climbing as a lifestyle sport.   Although I am currently doing sports as a career, it was not my major. My major was Korean language education. I became a sportsperson by chance, but I also used to teach writing to elementary school students. I remember coming across the book One Day I Died (Baram Books), which left a strong impression on me at that time. At first, I doubted that it was a book for children. I had to read it for class, but I found the story to be quite compelling. I’m not sure if the kids in my class at the time enjoyed it. But, if you have ever lost someone you were ...

Eight titles and publishers were honored in the grand prize, special prize, and rookie prize categories for fiction and nonfiction. Considering the size of the prize and the diverse range of winning titles, it was a good start for a new award system. The “picture book” genre is not yet fully established in the Korean publishing industry. For example, in large bookstores, “picture books” are placed in a subcategory of the pre-school category. However, the fact that we were able to clearly recognize “picture books” as a single artistic genre and reach a consensus in the screening process to organize an “award for picture books” is thanks to the strong growth of th...

Endless topics can be written about depending on the material and message. In the [Book × _____ ] series, experts recommend Korean books in their respective fields that you’ve been curious about but had trouble discovering more about.

It was not until the 1880s that Joseon began to establish trade deals with the US and other Western nations in Europe. The country eventually became a colony of Japan in 1910, the victo...
