2nd Week, August 2022

Best Sellers   2nd Week, August 2022 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2022.09.05   Familiar titles could be found on the best sellers’ list for the 2nd week of August. Writer Kim Hoon returned with his new book Harbin, about the life of An Jung-Geun (Korean independence activist) that he has been working on for a long time. The book talks about An Jung-Geun as an ordinary human being, not as a national hero or a great man of history, reorganizing historical facts with writer Kim’s imagination and unique writing style. Also, the book Pachinko, which went out of print due to the end of the publication contract, returned to meet Korean readers in a totally new outfit. Describing the life of a Korean immigrant family, the book well reflects Korean-American writer Lee Min-Jin’s hope to deliver “stories of Korea.” Meanwhile, writer Kim Ho-Yeon’s Uncanny Convenience Store, which has been continuously soothing the hearts of readers...

Looking Back on the 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022

Topic   Looking Back onthe 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022 From a Half Step to a Full Step   2022.08.01   In January 2020, the world slowly came to a stop. As people stopped moving around for fear of contaminating others with COVID-19, the speed and scale of people’s movement dwindled. Of course, that is what it seemed like from the surface. However, all living things never stop moving. Life is a vibrant movement. To stay alive, one has to rapidly absorb objects and energy from outside, consume them inside, and release them outside. One stops when not flowing. In other words, it might have seemed that the movement stopped from the outside, but the swirl of power coming from materials and energy grows stronger as the space they move in shrinks. Before that power breaks everything in the way, people must open up a path.For the past two years, the Seoul International Book Fair has tried to open up a small path for people who have stopped moving. Physical...

Book Trend in Korea Eyed by the Russian Publishing Market in the 2020s

Export Case   Book Trend in Korea Eyed bythe Russian Publishing Market in the 2020s   2022.08.01   In 2021, Russia was designated as the target country of the “Visiting Korean Book Fair” hosted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) for the first time in the fair’s history. Even though the fair was held online due to the pandemic, it was successful enough to draw an enthusiastic response from not only Russian publishers but also Korean participants. It served as a chance for both Korean and Russian publishing companies who have been paying great attention to Korean publications to take the exchange to the next level. Also, it worked as a cornerstone for Korean books to grow further in the Russian publishing market, as a greater variety of Korean books could be exported to the Russian publishing market after the fair.The most distinguished image of Russia in the Korean publishing industry is the “country of literature.” In ...

Book Trip   [Korean Libraries with Themes ③] “Lotus in the Library” in Jeonju The Beauty of Hanok Blossoming in the ‘City of Books,’ Jeonju   2022.08.01   Jeonju, a city located in Jellobuk-do, is a place that holds Korea’s traditional style. Many visit the city to feel and experience Korea’s classic beauty. It is also where many visit to leave great memories by taking photos of graceful hanok (traditional Korean housing) as a background while wearing colorful hanbok (traditional Korean clothing).

Travel Bookstore’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Travel Bookstore’s Pick   2022.08.01   I opened a small bookstore in Donghae, Gangwondo Province. It was not that I had a connection to it – the lecture I gave at a library, by coincidence, was the beginning of everything. The first time I met the head of the library, I enviously said, “It would be great to live near the sea,” and he answered proudly, “Of course. You must try living here, too.” So, I took a month off to live in Donghae, which was not planned, and I fell in love with the sun’s energy that shone on the ocean every day.The 5-minute away ocean, nice people, and charmingly neat alleys seized my heart, which made me think seriously about moving to Donghae for good. So, with the idea of creating a hub in the area that introduces Donghae to travelers and the world to local residents, I opened a travel bookstore called “Zanzan Bookshop.” Naturally, I looked for books related to the region when I started choosing books to put on...

Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick   2022.07.04   Before coming to Korea for the first time about 5 years ago, I must admit I was not well-acquainted with Korean culture overall. I did see a couple of Korean movies and dramas, and I did become a fan of BTS’ music around the time Hallyu was shyly making its way into my country, Serbia. However, I have never read a single book by a Korean author prior to moving to Korea. The two books I would like to introduce today I thought to be uniquely marked with a deep sense of something specifically ‘Korean’, while at the same time, equally and as deeply reflecting the purest and deepest universal human values, and as such, I believe could evoke true empathy with readers anywhere around the globe. So far, the two books left the greatest, most profound impact on me throughout my years of living in Korea.     When I first typed the word ‘Gwangju’ in the...
