Light, Even in Darkness

One-Liner Quotes   Light, Even in Darkness     2026.07             The Anxiety of “Securing a Safe Home of One’s Own”   I have a long-standing habit. Upon finally reaching the very last sentence of a novel, I flip the pages backward with a rustle to return to the first sentence once again, a method I call the Möbius strip reading technique. When the end and the beginning of a novel are stitched together inside the mind, the story grows even more intense, leaving no exit. Everything, absolutely everything, becomes amplified.   Yeom Seung-sook, The Future Where Everything Has Already Happened &n...

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 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 ...

You might find yourself drifting on a cloud of cotton candy or catching fruit-flavored rain to make a bowl of shaved ice.

The Present and Future of Korean Non-Fiction Publishing

Knowledge   The Present and Future of Korean Non-Fiction Publishing     2026.05     Non-fiction has long played a pivotal role in the publishing market as both a knowledge infrastructure and a forum for public discourse, yet its status has recently begun to falter. Although the number of new titles published remains steady on the surface, the decline in actual sales volume and market share indicates that the non-fiction market is weakening from within.   This phenomenon is difficult to explain solely by a decrease in the reading population or a shift away from traditional media. Rather, it should be viewed as a structural inflection point occurring in the process of fundamentally reorganizing the systems of knowledge production, distribution, and consumption due to accelerated digital transformation (DX). Ultimately, the stagnation of non-fiction symbolizes a paradigm shift in the publishin...

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.
