What I Discovered in the Crevices of the City

One-Liner Quotes   What I Discovered in the Crevices of the City     2026.06     After moving to the capital, the Seoul that I so diligently explored became divided into roughly two categories for me: that which leaves a memory, and that which leaves an impression. Typically, things that were grand and splendid belonged to the former, while things that were small and tender remained as the latter. Memories held a sort of momentary intensity, as if capturing the “me” of that exact moment in a mirror. On the other hand, things that were small or ordinary left a faint trace of when or where they were found; yet, they were unmistakably discovered in the world outside of myself, leaving behind something entirely new that did not previously exist within me. In the form of a continuous and perpetual subconscious, these d...

Comfort Across Time: The Global Spotlight on K-Literature, Past, Present, and Future

One-Liner Quotes   Comfort Across Time: The Global Spotlight on K-Literature, Past, Present, and Future     2026.03     Korean culture is now transcending domestic production to become a core subject for major global studios, deeply embedding itself into the daily lives of people worldwide. This is evidenced by the global animation 〈K-Pop: Demon Hunters〉, which dominated algorithms in 2025, and the film 〈Past Lives〉, produced by the renowned Hollywood studio A24. The allure of K-Culture, which has captivated the global gaze, shines even more intensely within its literature. The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Han Kang’s Human Acts proved that the tragic scars of history are not exclusive to Koreans. Furthermore, Cheon Seon-ran’s A Thousand Blues, which secured a film adaptation deal with Warner Bros. Pictures, demonstrated that kindness toward the marginalized resonates de...

The Export Case of Hello Baby

Export Case   The Export Case of Hello Baby Women’s stories have strong appeal in the global literary market   2025.10.02   Published in March 2023, Hello Baby (EunHaengNaMu Publishing) by Kim Eui-Kyung is a novel that tells the stories of women struggling with infertility, an issue that has long been overlooked in our society. In recent years, infertility has become more common, and I even had acquaintances seeking treatment at clinics, but my knowledge was limited to the fact that the procedures placed a heavy burden on women’s bodies. For me, reading Hello Baby was a shockingly fresh experience, as the novel vividly and realistically depicts the treatment process and the psychology of women who choose to undergo it, making it feel almost like reportage. At the time, there was a steady demand overseas for women’s stories, and since attention was being paid not only to infertility treatments, but also to the social and cultural pressures impos...

Models for Supporting Connections between Local Bookstores and Libraries

Knowledge   Models for Supporting Connectionsbetween Local Bookstores and Libraries   2025.10.02   The publishing market is said to be facing increasing difficulties day by day. The most fundamental problem is the decline in the reading rate - in other words, the shrinking number of readers. However, rather than lamenting the decrease in readers, now is the time to make efforts to sustain and expand the readership. Then, what are the things that move most closely with readers for the promotion of reading? Libraries and local bookstores. According to the Value-Added Tax Act Article 8 of the Publishing Industry Promotion Act, a local bookstore refers to a bookstore that registers as a retail business for books and is operated by a small or medium-sized enterprise in accordance with Article 2 of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises. In this article, however, the term “local bookstore” encompasses independent bookstores, curated bookstores, and concept...

Translating Moon Pops and the Rise of Universal Korean Picture Books

Export Case   Translating Moon Pops and the Rise ofUniversal Korean Picture Books   2025.07.07   When I first encountered Baek Hee-na’s Moon Pops (Storybowl), I didn’t think of it as a “Korean” picture book in the narrow sense. Rather, I felt I had been given a small, poetic universe that could speak to anyone?child or adult, regardless of where they live or what language they speak. The idea of the moon melting on a hot summer night and being scooped into popsicles by a kind grandmother is not only magical?it’s universally human. It captures longing, generosity, and wonder in a way that needs no cultural translation. And this, I believe, is the quiet power of today’s best Korean picture books: they carry the ability to transcend boundaries without ever flattening their identity.   English and Korean covers of Moon Pops     As a Professor of Korean Linguistic...

A City Where the Past and Future Meet: Tokyo

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ②] A City Where the Past and Future Meet: Tokyo   2025.02.17       Korea and Japan are countries that are both close and far away at the same time. They are located in East Asia and have similar climates, four seasons, and no time difference. Even the cityscapes look similar at first glance. Seoul and Tokyo both feature a mix of skyscrapers and traditional architecture. However, if you look a little deeper, you start to see the subtle differences between them. Whereas tradition and modernity blend together naturally in Korea, the two seem to be more starkly separated in Japan. For example, Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul seems to blend into the modern cafes and shops surrounding it, but in Tokyo’s Asakusa neighborhood, the shrines and temples are quiet reminders of a time gone by.When you first step foot in Tokyo, you feel like you have just walked into a giant puzzle.

Spreading Its Wings To the World: The Seoul Letter Shop

Export Case   Spreading Its Wings To the World: The Seoul Letter Shop   2025.01.06   On October 12, 2023, I received an email from Shinwon Agency, Korea’s first copyright export agency. They wanted to meet me at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I was going to be there, so we agreed to meet on October 19. This was about a month after I had sent them a cold email looking for an export partner. Within that month, I sent them a cover letter for my publishing house, met with them to introduce my publication lineup, and passed on additional materials about the works they were interested in. Among them was a proposal for The Seoul Letter Shop (TXTY), including a synopsis.It felt interesting and fateful that two Korean companies would be meeting in Frankfurt on October 19, 2023, to talk about working together. Shinwon said that there was a lot of interest from Anglo-American partner agencies and offered an exclusive agreement for The Seoul Letter Shop. I was flabbe...
