The Evolution and Growing Pains of the Seoul International Book Fair

Knowledge   The Evolution and Growing Pains of the Seoul International Book Fair     2026.07     We live in an era where depressing indicators of an ongoing publishing recession and a declining reading population have become all too familiar. Paradoxically, however, the scene at the Seoul International Book Fair (SIBF) held every June, where people gather through books, is more vibrant and dynamic than ever. Even in the midsummer heat, the long lines of readers and the lively energy within the publishers’ booths never cease. It demonstrates that the inherent power of books as a medium remains entirely valid.   The success of the SIBF in recent years has been nothing short of peerless. Since 2023, the book fair has gradually shed its traditional character as a mere market for...

A “Popup-Addicted” Reporter’s Notebook: Covering Publisher Pop-up Stores

Knowledge   A “Popup-Addicted” Reporter’s Notebook: Covering Publisher Pop-up Stores     2026.06     Why buy a book at an offline bookstore when you can simply order it online? This was the question that emerged within the Korean publishing industry about twenty years ago, when online bookstores first made their debut. Recently, this question has shifted in an entirely different direction: “Why come all the way to a ‘pop-up store’ to buy a book that can be purchased anywhere?”   As a reader who has frequently sought out publisher pop-ups and book fairs, I have chewed over this very question. Why do I personally go all the way to a pop-up to buy a book? While some analysts suggest it is because “text” has simply become “hip,” the young readers I encounter on-site ar...

A Time to Discover the Stars Within Us

One-Liner Quotes   A Time to Discover the Stars Within Us     2026.05     Where Did All These Stars Come From   The statement "there are stars within us" is more than just a poetic metaphor. It is a wondrous fact offered to us by both science and the humanities. As astronomer Carl Sagan once said, we are beings made of the remnants of dead stars, or "stardust." In fact, the calcium and iron in our bodies are pieces of stars that were forged inside a star long ago and eventually reached us.   In philosophy and psychology, a "star" is often symbolized not merely as a celestial body but as a unique light dwelling within human nature, a guiding signpost that helps us keep our way even in the dark. Therefore, the idea that "there are stars within us" reminds us that just as countless stars in the night sky shine with different brightness and colors, we too...

Why People Seeking Advice from ChatGPT Still Turn Their Backs on "One-Click Books"

Topic   Why People Seeking Advice from ChatGPT Still Turn Their Backs on "One-Click Books"     2026.04     AI Publications Denied for Legal Deposit   The legal deposit system in Korea is a mandatory system where all books issued an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) must be submitted to the National Library of Korea and the National Assembly Library. The purpose of this system is to preserve library materials as national literature for future generations and to support parliamentary activities. The libraries receive two copies from the publisher and provide compensation for the cost of one copy.   However, an investigation by the Hankook Ilbo revealed that last year, for the first time since their opening, both the National Library of Korea and the National Assembly Library refused the legal deposit of AI-generated publications. In particular, it caused a significa...

Transcription: The Rising Star of the K-Education and Parenting Market

Knowledge   Transcription: The Rising Star of the K-Education and Parenting Market     2026.04     Why Transcription is Returning to the Forefront of Education   Transcription books have consistently expanded their readership within the Korean publishing market. While they once primarily served adult readers seeking self-improvement or emotional healing, recent years have seen a distinct shift: transcription books are now merging with child education to form a prominent new trend. Parents no longer view transcription as mere copying. Instead, they embrace it as a profound method of reading—one that involves slowly digesting high-quality sentences, tracing them by hand, and anchoring those thoughts within oneself. By shifting away from the fast-reading habits where content is quickly consumed and forgotten, transcription has gained new educational significance as a practice of deep focus, f...

Comfort Across Time: The Global Spotlight on K-Literature, Past, Present, and Future

One-Liner Quotes   Comfort Across Time: The Global Spotlight on K-Literature, Past, Present, and Future     2026.03     Korean culture is now transcending domestic production to become a core subject for major global studios, deeply embedding itself into the daily lives of people worldwide. This is evidenced by the global animation 〈K-Pop: Demon Hunters〉, which dominated algorithms in 2025, and the film 〈Past Lives〉, produced by the renowned Hollywood studio A24. The allure of K-Culture, which has captivated the global gaze, shines even more intensely within its literature. The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Han Kang’s Human Acts proved that the tragic scars of history are not exclusive to Koreans. Furthermore, Cheon Seon-ran’s A Thousand Blues, which secured a film adaptation deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, demonstrated that kindness toward the marginalized resonates de...
