His passion for art never faded amidst the gloomy reality during the Japanese occupation.

He began as a modernist in the beginning criticizing the modern civilization and urban life; Kim Su-Young’s poetic world encountered a drastic change when historical incidents, the fraudulent election on March 15, 1960, and the April 19 Revolutio...

Diverse Ways to Love Books

Diverse Ways to Love Books   2018.06.28   Dubbed the ‘oldest form of media’, books have been handed ‘death sentences’ with every new appearance of technology. As the use of Internet spread and ‘new media’ shook up the media world along with social networking sites, many forecast a gloomy end to books, saying they would no longer be able to function as a medium to communicate and deliver knowledge.

But t...
