[TREND / ONE-LINER QUOTES]

One-Liner Quotes Time to Dive Into Korean History Lawyer’s Pick 2024.01.02 Jung Hye-Jin is a Korean lawyer, who wrote the books May It Please the Court (Mirae Books) and When Names Become Law (Dongnyok Publishers). Just thinking about Korea’s evolved reputation on the international scene makes me giddy. When I first went to the US over 30 years ago, and when I lived in the UK 20 years ago to study, one of the common phrases I heard was, “Where are you from, China or Japan?” Korea is no longer the country it used to be, when it didn’t have a distinct identity in the minds of Westerners.

[TREND / EXPORT CASE]

A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers!

Export Case A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers! The import case of Uncanny Convenience Store published by Shogakukan in Japan 2023.10.04 It was two years ago, in the fall of 2021, when I first heard about Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) through an email from a Japanese agent.
