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...

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

How New Writers Are Discovered in Korea: Shinchunmunye, Literary Awards, and Newly Emerging Pathways

Topic   How New Writers Are Discovered in Korea:Shinchunmunye, Literary Awards, and Newly Emerging Pathways   2025.03.10   At the award ceremony of shinchunmunye (annual spring literary contest), one of Korea’s representative systems for recognizing new writers, there is always a “congratulatory speech” delivered by the judges (mostly novelists, sometimes literary critics) to the winners. As a former literary reporter for a newspaper and then head of the Department of Culture, I have observed that every year, no matter who the judges are, there is always a certain message to the winners. Although you never can tell the future, I’m sure the same will also be true for next year’s shinchunmunye. The specific words vary by judge, but if I were to make it up, it would go something like this (which, of course, doesn’t even come close to the beautiful and moving words of the judges).   “Congratulations, you are now a writer. You mu...

It recently published a science book, The Quirky Science Book (Big Fish), which is a compilation of popular and entertaining topics from Eunjobz.     In the middle of a cold winter, when snow falls hard and fast, it’s hard not to build a snowman. Sometimes, you lose track of time and forget that your hands are getting numb. When you look at the finished product, you feel unnecessarily proud that you have made something. And, you give him a scarf and gloves, just in case he gets cold. But here’s a thought. We put clothes on when we are cold because they warm us up. Snowmen like to be cold b...

Literary Awards: A Message of the Times

Special Project   [Award-winning Korean Books ①] Literary Awards: A Message of the Times Major Korean literary award-winning books in 2024   2024.11.04   Writer Han Kang, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2024     Where does the authority of the Nobel Prize in Literature derive from? Is it the huge prize of 1.3 billion won, or the long history of 124 years? Or is it the exceptional life stories of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite? Well, it’s probably a combination of all of these elements, but more than that, it’s the message that holds the secret to its long-standing authority. The Nobel Prize in Literature has always pointed out exactly what we, as a species, need to think about right now, and where we should be headed together. Each year, hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of people around the world share the same curiosity when the Prize is announced. They ask themsel...

Globalizing Korean Literature: The Journey of Kim Hye-jin and Her Works

Export Case   Globalizing Korean Literature:The Journey of Kim Hye-jin and Her Works   2024.11.04   I am writing this a day after Han Kang received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.” The first in history for a writer from South Korea. It is, without a doubt, a huge milestone for South Korean literature and a debt that was long overdue. Some may even feel that this is the ultimate goal for the internationalization of Korean literature.Korea has an incredibly rich and diverse literary culture that has conquered the world in recent years, and I feel that this is an interesting moment to stop and think about how authors and authorships are managed. The most important ‘ingredients’, which are talent and key resources such as translators, grants, and promotion programs, are already there. The support is truly impressive. But how can we best promote a...
