The Expansion of Korea’s Picture Book Market

Knowledge   The Expansion of Korea’s Picture Book Market   2026.01.05   At some point, Korean picture books began making headlines. Korean authors are now frequent winners of Italy’s Bologna Ragazzi Award, one of the most prestigious prizes in the field. They have also produced award recipients of the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava (BIB) Award?one of the world’s oldest international picture book festivals, launched in 1967?as well as Sweden’s Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, often described as the Nobel Prize in children’s literature; the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the highest honor bestowed upon authors and illustrators of children’s literature; and France’s most prestigious children’s literature prize, the Prix Sorci?res.

AI Reshapes the Reading Landscape

Topic   AI Reshapes the Reading Landscape From technology to everyday language   2025.10.02   A “quiet revolution” in our bookshelves   According to statistics from the online bookstore Aladin, out of roughly 65,000 new titles published in a single year, no fewer than 2,027 carried the keyword “artificial intelligence (AI).” Even more striking is the pace: of the 5,719 AI-related books registered with Aladin to date, fully 35.4%, more than one-third, were released in just this past year. This is no mere trend, but a market-shaking “explosion.” This surge is fundamentally unlike the period before ChatGPT. In the past, the AI section was filled with specialist texts on machine learning and deep learning for developers; now it has been taken over by practical guides and business strategy titles targeting professionals, creators, and small-business owners. The tidal surge of AI has at last broken free of specialist domains and swept into everyday life. &nb...

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...

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...
