Travelers Return After COVID-19

Topic   Travelers Return After COVID-19   2023.06.05   The trend of travel books in Korea before and after COVID-19   After the Korean government lifted the bar for overseas travel in 1989, the major driver behind the growth of the travel book market in the 1990s was guidebooks, which mainly delivered information about the destination country. The introduction of the Across the World (RH Korea Co., Ltd., formerly published by Random House) series, which was the translated version of the magazine How to Walk on Earth published by Diamond Big in Japan, opened the first generation of travel guidebooks in Korea. In the late 1990s, the second-generation guidebooks such as the Centuplicate Your Joy (RH Korea) series and the Just Go (Sigongsa Co., Ltd.) series published, which the foreign rights were bought from Japanese publishers and translated in Korean. Since then, those series developed along with the revised editions and Korean writers began to actively engag...

Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Illustrator’s Pick   2023.03.13     There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...

A Diplomat’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   A Diplomat’s Pick   2022.10.04   “Yeonhaengnok (燕行錄)” is a very special collection of Korean travel literature. Marco Polo’s The Travels of Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta’s Rihla, and monk Hyecho’s Wang Ocheonchukguk Jeon are travelogues about the writers’ trips to other countries, but Yeonhaengnok is different from typical travelogues as it is a journal about diplomatic activities. The book is a well-organized, systematic travel journal written by former diplomats of Korea cumulated over a long period of time. It is very unlikely to find something of its kind anywhere in the world except in Korea. One of the best-appraised Yeonhaengnoks in Korea is The Jehol Diary written by Park Ji-Won as he returned from China in 1780.     The book The Jehol Diary (Green Bee) is a travel journal of events that took place over a 3,500km round trip of the Joseon diplomatic corps, as they departed from Seoul...

Looking Back on the 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022

Topic   Looking Back onthe 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022 From a Half Step to a Full Step   2022.08.01   In January 2020, the world slowly came to a stop. As people stopped moving around for fear of contaminating others with COVID-19, the speed and scale of people’s movement dwindled. Of course, that is what it seemed like from the surface. However, all living things never stop moving. Life is a vibrant movement. To stay alive, one has to rapidly absorb objects and energy from outside, consume them inside, and release them outside. One stops when not flowing. In other words, it might have seemed that the movement stopped from the outside, but the swirl of power coming from materials and energy grows stronger as the space they move in shrinks. Before that power breaks everything in the way, people must open up a path.For the past two years, the Seoul International Book Fair has tried to open up a small path for people who have stopped moving. Physical...
