Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ④] Chaeg Bar A Healing Space Where Books and Liquor Harmonize 2023.05.02 The area in front of Hongik University, where restaurants, bars, and clubs are focused, is known as an area for young people. Walk along the Yeonhuiro road, past the crowded street, and you will find a bar that shows off a unique concept - “Chaeg Bar.” Chaeg Bar, which is like finding treasure hidden deep inside an alley, is a “drinking bookstore” - a bar and a night bookstore - like its name suggests (chaeg means book in Korean). A bar and a bookstore seem like an awkward mix, but Chaeg Bar has been getting word of mouth as it was introduced by movie director Jang Hang-Jun, writer Kim Young-Ha, Kim Sang-Wook, and RM of BTS (idol group). It might not be easy to find the place as it is located between stores in a narrow alley, but it proudly says that “there might be people that have never visited us, but there is no one t...

The Uncanny Convenience Store’s Magical Journey in Taiwan

Export Case The Uncanny Convenience Store’s Magical Journey in Taiwan 2023.04.03 Popular Korean novel Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) has experienced a very magical journey in Taiwan. Before publishing the book in Taiwan, Solo Press (寂寞出版社) had published Please Look After Mom (Changbi) with a relatively serious and heavy topic as well as Dallergut Dream Department Store (Sam & Parkers), a bestselling novel in Korea. * K-Book Trends Vol. 46 ? Go to the article about Dallergut Dream Department Store’s successful import into Taiwan Unlike Please Look After Mom, the two books, Dallergut Dream Department Store and Uncanny Convenience Store, are relatively simply-written, talking about things close to our daily lives. Above all, they are so-called “healing novels” with humanistic elements, which support the hearts of readers going through hardships driven by the pandemic. With the publishing experience and ...

Sehan Bookstore

Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ③] Sehan Bookstore A Secondhand Bookstore Full of Unique Memories and Vibes 2023.04.03 We are living in an era where so many books are coming out every day. How we purchase books has evolved over time as well, and it has become common to see buying books from online bookstores whenever and wherever we are. Now, there’s an old bookstore surrounded by nature that has been off the changing trend, keeping the unique analog vibe and memories. It is Sehan Bookstore in Danyang. Established in Seoul in 1979, Sehan Bookstore moved to Danyang and has kept its place as a part of nature, serving as a house for many books.While the bookstore is located inside a quiet mountain, it became a beloved tourist spot after it was used to film the movie “Inside Men.” Visited by actor Cho Seung-Woo, cartoonist Lee Hyeon-Se, singer and MC Lim Baek-Cheon, and K-Pop idol group Golden Child, Sehan Bookstore has been playing the role of a tour...

Singer-Songwriter’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Singer-Songwriter’s Pick 2023.04.03 First and foremost, I chose one book about Korean pop music. There are more foreign readers that know about K-Pop than me these days. So, I chose the story of a master that is like the starting point of K-Pop history. And another book I chose is an interesting non-fiction book about key incidents in modern Korean history. One of my foreign friends that used to be greatly interested in the Gwangju Uprising motivated me to pick the book. The first book I would like to introduce is Shin Jung-Hyeon’s My Guitar Never Sleeps (Haeto). Shin Jung-Hyeon is a rock musician and producer that led Korean pop music in the 1960s and 70s. His sons ? Shin Dae-Cheol, Shin Yoon-Cheol, and Shin Seok-Cheol ? also became legendary musicians in Korea. But, I realized that there were many things that I was neglectful of as I only used to listen to his music.It was right aft...

Book Plant

Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ②] Book Plant Where Book Culture Flourishes 2023.03.13 More cultural spaces are emerging in Korea, centering around local bookstores. “Bookstores in your neighborhood” somehow sounds friendly.

Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Illustrator’s Pick 2023.03.13 There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...
