A New Vision Rooted in Tradition: The Evolution of Korean Picture Books

Topic   A New Vision Rooted in Tradition:The Evolution of Korean Picture Books     2026.05     Who is searching for Korean picture books?   The Korean Pavilion at the 2026 Bologna Children’s Book Fair was consistently bustling with publishing professionals from around the world. In addition to those visiting the booth for pre-scheduled copyright consultations, it was not uncommon for visitors to be drawn in by the on-site author talks or workshops and request a meeting on the spot. On the second day of the fair, at the Networking Day hosted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea, participants were asked about the strengths of Korean picture books. They remarked that the books are not only delicate in their expression but also diverse in their thematic approaches, providing readers with a "challenging reading experience." This is a remarkable turnaround compared to the early ...

A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑬] A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow   2026.01.05       Famous cities around the world tend to carry images of their own. Paris, the city of romance; New York, the center of popular culture; and Rome, often regarded as the very heart of ancient European culture?each city’s name becomes an icon and an object of aspiration. In this way, Moscow, the capital of Russia, the largest country in the world, has long been perceived as the center of the “Iron Curtain.” The term “Iron Curtain,” used during World War II by Nazi propaganda minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, referred to the closed nature of the Soviet Union and the communist states of Eastern Europe at the time. It portrayed the Soviet Union’s isolationist policies and police-state system as an “impenetrable barrier.” In 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also expressed...

Export Case: Jeong Hae-Yeon’s Success in Thailand

Export Case   Export Case: Jeong Hae-Yeon’s Success in Thailand   2026.01.05   Introduction of Eric Yang Agency   Founded thirty years ago, Eric Yang Agency is now widely known as one of Korea’s leading literary agencies for introducing international translated titles to the domestic market, including the Harry Potter series and JUSTICE: What’s the Right Thing To Do?. Less widely known, however, is that the agency has also achieved significant results in exporting Korean books to overseas markets for more than two decades. Over twenty years ago, Eric Yang Agency established a branch in China, and today it exports Korean titles across Asia through its offices in Taiwan and Thailand, as well as through local Eric Yang agents based in each market. Building on this stable Asian foundation, the agency has recently expanded its efforts to export Korean books more broadly, including to English-language and European markets.

A World Carried by the Yangtze River: Shanghai

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑩] A World Carried by the Yangtze River: Shanghai   2025.10.02       Shanghai has always been a paradoxical space in Chinese history. What is now the city of Shanghai was once Shanghai County (上海縣), under Jiangsu Province (江?省), functioning as an administrative town and regional market-port, though it was no match for Suzhou (?州市) or Hangzhou (杭州市). Everything changed in 1842, after the First Opium War and the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, when Shanghai was designated as a treaty port. European powers established concessions, exercising administrative and policing authority and enjoying extraterritorial rights. From China’s perspective, it was hardly different from colonial subjugation.Yet Shanghai rapidly developed alongside the influx of foreign powers. Rival empires competed to exhibit their strength, and individuals carved out their own spheres through we...

The Export Case of Hello Baby

Export Case   The Export Case of Hello Baby Women’s stories have strong appeal in the global literary market   2025.10.02   Published in March 2023, Hello Baby (EunHaengNaMu Publishing) by Kim Eui-Kyung is a novel that tells the stories of women struggling with infertility, an issue that has long been overlooked in our society. In recent years, infertility has become more common, and I even had acquaintances seeking treatment at clinics, but my knowledge was limited to the fact that the procedures placed a heavy burden on women’s bodies. For me, reading Hello Baby was a shockingly fresh experience, as the novel vividly and realistically depicts the treatment process and the psychology of women who choose to undergo it, making it feel almost like reportage. At the time, there was a steady demand overseas for women’s stories, and since attention was being paid not only to infertility treatments, but also to the social and cultural pressures impos...

Korean Literature: From Page to Screen

Topic   Korean Literature: From Page to Screen   2025.09.04   In the Korean film industry, the label “based on a novel” is no longer unusual. Over the past decade, films adapted from literary works have steadily reached theaters, making secondary rights sales a significant revenue stream for publishers. For filmmakers, novels are an attractive source material because they offer strong narratives and existing recognition, all within the constraints of limited budgets. As a result, adaptations have not only drawn audiences to cinemas but also reignited book sales, often sending older titles back up the bestseller lists. Since the success of adaptations such as Gong Ji-Young’s The Crucible (Changbi Publishers) and Kim Ryeo-Ryeong’s Wandeuk (Changbi Publishers), which achieved both commercial popularity and social impact, literary-based films are no longer regarded as “exceptional undertakings.” This month’s article reviews prominent examples from the last ten...

An Island With a History Rougher Than Any Storm at Sea: Sicily

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑨] An Island With a History Rougher Than Any Storm at Sea: Sicily   2025.09.04       Is there any nation whose history runs smoothly from start to finish? Every chapter of human history bears its share of scars?wars, invasions, and natural disasters. In Sicily, those scars are carved deeper and are easier to see. In the 8th century BCE, the island was settled by the Greeks; later, it became a Roman province, remembered as the granary of the empire. After the fall of Rome and the great migrations of the Germanic peoples, the island became a prize fought over by the Islamic powers of North Africa and the Byzantine Empire. By the 9th century, it had become an Islamic emirate; in the late 11th century, the Normans seized it and founded the Kingdom of Sicily. For the next 200 years, the island was ruled by the Normans, followed by roughly 400 yea...

Translating Moon Pops and the Rise of Universal Korean Picture Books

Export Case   Translating Moon Pops and the Rise ofUniversal Korean Picture Books   2025.07.07   When I first encountered Baek Hee-na’s Moon Pops (Storybowl), I didn’t think of it as a “Korean” picture book in the narrow sense. Rather, I felt I had been given a small, poetic universe that could speak to anyone?child or adult, regardless of where they live or what language they speak. The idea of the moon melting on a hot summer night and being scooped into popsicles by a kind grandmother is not only magical?it’s universally human. It captures longing, generosity, and wonder in a way that needs no cultural translation. And this, I believe, is the quiet power of today’s best Korean picture books: they carry the ability to transcend boundaries without ever flattening their identity.   English and Korean covers of Moon Pops     As a Professor of Korean Linguistic...
