Observing the Stature of K-Literature Through Foreign Literary Awards

Topic   Observing the Stature of K-Literature Through Foreign Literary Awards   2021.10.05   Korean literature was first introduced to foreign countries in the late 19th century. However, it wasn’t until after works of Korean literature started receiving literary awards abroad that they were translated and published full-scale in foreign countries, attracting foreign readers and grabbing the interest of major publishers and publishing agencies in foreign countries.Some awards have been given to works of Korean literature since the early 2000s, but ever since Please Look After Mom by Shin Kyung-Sook received the Man Asian Literary Prize, works of Korean literature have continuously been winning literary prizes, and the number of those prizes have been increasing as well.

Food for Thought on Careers, Truthfully Portrayed in Essays

Special Project   Food for Thought on Careers, Truthfully Portrayed in Essays The Second Character Outshines the Main Character   2021.10.05   Anyone can dream of many different kinds of life. This is because it’s part of human nature to struggle with wholly expressing yourself in just a single way. Recently, there has been a hot trend of second characters (a term referring to a new or different version of yourself) being used by individuals to express each of their unique, respective identities. One of the trending ways of doing this includes essays. This refers to writing and publishing essays that portray the joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure one feels in the workplace while weaving one’s work characteristics clearly into the essays. With the increasing popularity of essays in the publishing market, “career essays” on the truthful experiences and stray thoughts one has in the workplace are also booming. There’s a so-called genre of writing, “Jobssay,” ...

Korean Books Loved by German Readers

Export Case   Korean Books Loved by German Readers   2021.08.02   K-pop and K-drama are hot in Germany as well. According to a news article released by Yonhap News Agency on February 9 this year, the number of freshmen choosing to study Korean Studies at the Free University of Berlin, Germany, increased from 25 in 2008 to 350 in 2021. Also, we are receiving almost 200 applicants for the Korean class open at the Language Center of the Technical University of Munich each semester where I’m teaching students.
