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 ...

Export Case   Imagination Beyond Borders:The Whole New World in K-Picture Book     2026.05     Imagine a world where borders require no passports, thoughts have no ceilings, and the impossible becomes real.

TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana

Export Case   TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana     2026.04     I am the proud American editor of TWO WOMEN LIVING TOGETHER, thebestselling Korean memoir by Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana—two single women in their late thirties, who’ve chosen to buy a home and live togetheras non-romantic life partners. In the United States, the term "roommates" tends to have a very particular connotation, often conjuring young twenty-something-year-olds who are forced to live in close quarters out of thrift, and who may or not become close friends, though they rarely reach the familial intimacy of domestic partners. Typicallythe arrangement is seen as a temporary one, until each roommate reaches the financial freedom to live alone, or to start a household with their romantic partners.   But Hwang Sunwoo and Kim Hana have fundamentally unsettled this Western convention, as two friends who ...

On the Japanese Publication of Even a Corpse Is Fine - Just Stay by My Side: The Psychology of Evil and Loneliness

Export Case   On the Japanese Publication of Even a Corpse Is Fine - "Just Stay by My Side: The Psychology of Evil and Loneliness"     2026.03     My first encounter with this book happened during an exchange event with Korean publishers. When I reviewed the content, I immediately realized that it was a powerful work of nonfiction: a deep and unflinching examination of criminal psychology, written from the perspective of a professional profiler who had worked directly on real investigation scenes. This combination of universality and firsthand insight drew me in at once.   In Japan, each time a brutal crime makes headlines, public discourse quickly turns to the question: "Why did this happen?" Yet the psychological factors underlying such acts are rarely explored in depth. In that context, a book in which a field expert carefully unpacks the "psycholog...

Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday, Talks About Korean Literature

Export Case   Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday,Talks About Korean Literature   2025.11.03   Just a decade ago, there was a prevailing belief that Korean literature could not be globalized because of linguistic and translational barriers. However, with the improvement of translation and global readers’ growing eagerness for a wider range of stories, Korean content began to draw closer to them. It eventually settled in as its own genre under the name “K-content,” now recognized worldwide. Korean literature, in particular, proved this trend with Han Kang’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Yet, many Korean works remain undiscovered internationally. At the “2025 Copyright Export Support Program,” organized by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI) this past September, we met Jane Lawson, publishing director at Doubleday, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, and discussed Korean literature.   ...
