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...

Belong Nowhere to Belong Everywhere

K-reader   Belong Nowhere to Belong Everywhere After reading Melanin   2024.12.02   In this article, Korean readers of K-Book Trends recommend Korean books they have read to international readers.If you would like to recommend a Korean book that impressed you to international readers,please send us an email to the address below!kbooktrends@gmail.com   Melanin     When I found out that Melanin (Hankyoreh Publishing) was a story about “someone born with blue skin,” I expected it to be about SF or superpowers. I assumed that it would be about a new species different from an ordinary human being, thinking of “Mystic” from the movie “X-Men.” But, I was completely wrong ? I also realized that I had prejudice and discriminative thoughts inside me. Even if the protagonist was born with blue skin, he was a human being just like us. No matter what skin we mig...

Trends and news in South Korea's book design

Trends and news in South Korea's book design   2018.01   Despite there being very limited space on a book for design, we've seen many changes in book design both experimental and diverse. Up to the early 2000s, it wasn't clear what the concept of book design entailed and at many times people would ask what it was exactly 'book designers' did.   Book designers are one of many people who are involved in making books and not only do they design the covers, they need to understand the font and contemplate how to connect readers with the materialistic characteristics of the book. In the 1980s, the form of books was quite simple and there were limitations as to how books were designed. Looking back, the unique designs from then had influenced book designs to a great extent, when book designers had to work with film by hand in designing the books(See image 1). With the development of programs, it now takes a very small amount of time to get what's inside your head onto the cov...
