Not just comfort and empathy, but anxiety and fear: Pay Attention to K-Horror

Topic   Not just comfort and empathy, but anxiety and fear: Pay Attention to K-Horror     2026.03     Healing and Zombies   In the Bag   For the past few years, the mainstream of Korean genre literature has undeniably been "healing." Healing fantasy, set in familiar spaces such as convenience stores, bookstores, and antique shops, offered solace to Korean readers weary of individualism. Messages like "You are not alone in your struggles" and "We are looking toward the light together" were sweet and comforting. However, where there is bright light, there are also deep shadows. No matter how much we comfort one another, we remain beings who must ultimately compete alone in a cold, harsh reality. To make matters worse, the pandemic that struck like a tidal wave...

A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑬] A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow   2026.01.05       Famous cities around the world tend to carry images of their own. Paris, the city of romance; New York, the center of popular culture; and Rome, often regarded as the very heart of ancient European culture?each city’s name becomes an icon and an object of aspiration. In this way, Moscow, the capital of Russia, the largest country in the world, has long been perceived as the center of the “Iron Curtain.” The term “Iron Curtain,” used during World War II by Nazi propaganda minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, referred to the closed nature of the Soviet Union and the communist states of Eastern Europe at the time. It portrayed the Soviet Union’s isolationist policies and police-state system as an “impenetrable barrier.” In 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also expressed...

The Global Hub of Culture and the Arts: London

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑫] The Global Hub of Culture and the Arts: London   2025.12.01       Once called “the empire on which the sun never sets,” Britain has seen its tangible influence fade over the two centuries since its golden age in the 19th and 20th centuries, yet its symbolic power remains intact. London, a city that still holds the historical and cultural legacy built during the days of the British Empire, exemplifies this most clearly. This is why tracing the history of London back to its beginnings as the Roman fortress of Londinium is no easy task, for the meanings contained within its past are countless. London is also a city inseparable from one of humanity’s most significant milestones - the Industrial Revolution.During the Industrial Revolution, London was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world in terms of population. Its population, whic...

A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑧] A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm   2025.08.04       The nickname “Venice of Scandinavia” is not quite accurate for Stockholm. While Stockholm and Venice share a common ground in that they are both comprised of several islands and countless bridges connecting them, Stockholm is much smaller and quieter than Venice. People in Stockholm are adept at having conversations without much gesturing, while naturally maintaining an appropriate distance between themselves. However, in the summer, especially in August, the city transforms into a completely different place. The sun shines on the city well past nine in the evening, and people smile and chat with each other at a slightly closer distance than usual. It might be in an outdoor caf?, or on a boat rocking gently, or on the steps of Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel P...
