Topic   Korean Bookstores Dominated by Screenplays and Scripts   2022.11.07   “Do you stop reading screenplays after watching movies in Korea?”“It’s out… ‘in the fullness of time.’”“The ‘unparalleled’ screenplay that I made a ‘decision’ to buy.”“This is the only way to read the best screenplay. What else can I do?”- Comments by fans of the movie “Decision to Leave” on their expectations for the screenplay publication parodying the movie’s lines   The movie “Decision to Leave,” released last June, is the most recent movie written by Chung Seo-Kyung and directed by Park Chan-Wook. It won the Best Director Award at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. The movie’s popularity was not as high as expected soon after its release, but the share of “en cha gamsang (n차 감상, or “n-th watcher”),” who watch the same movie several times, was as high as blockbuster movies. Thanks to its strong fandom, the film was able to run for a long on thea...

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.K.

Export Case   Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.K. Publishing the best literature from East Asia, be it classic or contemporary   2022.09.05   When we started Honford Star, our original plan was to publish the short stories of Yi Sang, the tragic poet of early modern Korean literature. His bizarre imagery and youthful exuberance attracted us, even though the difference in language and decades between him and us. Unfortunately, we were never able to publish Yi, but our love of offbeat Korean literature continued.At Honford Star, we aim to translate books right at the edge between genre fiction and literary fiction. So when Anton Hur sent us the first two stories in the Cursed Bunny (Arzak) short story collection, we bought the rights as fast as we could. The stories were absurdist masterpieces that showcased author Bora Chung’s ability to mix the fantastical with social critique. Her stories fit in perfectly with our other Korean b...

Travel Bookstore’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Travel Bookstore’s Pick   2022.08.01   I opened a small bookstore in Donghae, Gangwondo Province. It was not that I had a connection to it ? the lecture I gave at a library, by coincidence, was the beginning of everything. The first time I met the head of the library, I enviously said, “It would be great to live near the sea,” and he answered proudly, “Of course. You must try living here, too.” So, I took a month off to live in Donghae, which was not planned, and I fell in love with the sun’s energy that shone on the ocean every day.The 5-minute away ocean, nice people, and charmingly neat alleys seized my heart, which made me think seriously about moving to Donghae for good. So, with the idea of creating a hub in the area that introduces Donghae to travelers and the world to local residents, I opened a travel bookstore called “Zanzan Bookshop.” Naturally, I looked for books related to the region when I started choosing books to put on ...

Poet Na Tae-Joo

Korean Authors   Poet Na Tae-Joo Poetry, a language of longing shaped by what is missing   2025.12.01   Poetry is the most distilled form of language - words that can express the heart with absolute clarity. How romantic is someone who knows a poem by heart? And, what if so many people know the very same poem? If we were to choose the single poem most widely known among Koreans, it would likely be Na Tae-Joo’s Wildflower. Ever since it appeared on the well-known message board on the exterior of the Kyobo Life building in Gwanghwamun, it has become a nationally beloved poem - yet it continues to linger deeply and resonate with quiet force. The following is an interview with poet Na Tae-Joo, who has engraved poetry in the hearts of the Korean people for more than 55 years.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers along with a brief introduction of yourself.   It’s a p...
