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.

A Thriving Metamorphosis of Queer Literature

Knowledge   A Thriving Metamorphosis of Queer Literature The growth and prospects of Korean queer literature   2025.09.04   Refreshing history: joining hands with feminism   The queerness of Korean literature continues to reach new heights. Recent works published in literary magazines, almost without exception, embody a feminist consciousness and a queer-friendly stance. Novels that feature gay, lesbian, and transgender characters as central figures are also steadily on the rise. Of course, whether a work can be called “queer literature” simply because its characters are named and categorized as queer remains a question that requires ongoing reflection. Over the past ten years, however, the demographic composition of the literary world created by Korean literature has gradually shifted from cisgender heterosexuals to characters where queerness, disability, and feminism intersect. Given that the visibility of queer identities begins wit...

The Beginning of the 100-Year History of Modern Korean Literature

One-Liner Quotes   The Beginning of the 100-Year History ofModern Korean Literature Literary journalist’s pick   2025.04.07   Choi Jae-Bong worked as a journalist specializing in literature at The Hankyoreh for 30 years and is currently a senior journalist in the publishing and literature department at the same organization. His books include A Literary Journey into History (Hankyoreh), Writers in the Mirrorland (Hankyoreh), Stories Last Long (Hankyoreh), and Inquisition, What Writers Write With (Viche Book).   In the history of Korean literature, the relevance of ancient and medieval literature to modern and contemporary literature, and the origins of modern or contemporary literature, have been the subjects of ongoing and fierce debate. These arguments are based on the fact that until just before the 20th century, most literary works were written in Chinese characters rather than Hangeul, and the fact that the Western word “literature” was impor...

Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era and the Compass of the Heart

Topic   Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era andthe Compass of the Heart   2024.12.02   The rise of Korean poetry and its global takeoff   There have been a number of “unusual” scenes in Korean literature in recent years. If I told you that Korean poetry is at the center of it, would international readers believe me? The proportion of readers in their 20s and 30s buying poetry books is increasing. The share of teenagers is also increasing, not to mention the number of poetry books being published. It is no longer strange or unfamiliar to see people transcribing poems. There are even bookstores in Korea that sell only poetry books. It’s a curious thing. Haven’t we all moved on to YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix? The thing that’s being “unlocked” should be smartphones, not poetry books, isn’t it?The year 2024 is poised to be a monumental year in Korean literary history. It is 100 years since the publication of Chu Yo-Han’ first poetry collection Beau...

K-Book Map   Where Literature Dwells- Bridging the Past and Present of Korean Literature through Its Museums -     2026.04     Literary museums dedicated to specific writers hold profound significance. They serve as cultural archives that reveal the various elements behind the birth of a literary masterpiece. Numerous such museums operate across Korea today. Among them, we would like to introduce three locations selected for their historical and regional balance: the Yun Dong-ju Literature Museum in Seoul (Yun Dong-ju: 1917–1945), the Pak Kyongni Literature Park in Wonju, Gangwon-do (Pak Kyongni: 1926–2008), and the Na Tae-joo Pulkkot Literary House in Gongju, Chungnam (Na Tae-joo: 1945–).

Pak Kyongni was a novelist who gave form to the turbulence of modern Korean history thr...

Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers Successful import case of Prapanca Press in Israel   2023.11.06   The Hebrew-language book market is paradoxically both large and small. While there are only about two million active Hebrew readers, who read at least once a week, close to 7,000 new titles are published each and every year in Israel. In other words, whereas the book market is rather small in terms of readers, it is considerably large, vigorous, and diverse in terms of contents. Approximately 20% of Hebrew book publications are translations, almost all of which are translations from English, in addition to a few translations from other European languages such as Russian and Spanish.Regrettably, to date, very few Korean titles were able to reach the Hebrew book market. Although the novels of Shin Kyung-sook and Jeong You-jeong, as well as a few others, have been published in Hebrew and received in Israel with some enthusiasm, the translation...
