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.

SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.

Korean Publishers   SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. Stories That Find Meaning in Everyday Moments   2026.01.05   We are living in an age of “dopamine addiction.” The quiet appreciation woven into everyday routines has gradually faded, replaced by a constant pursuit of stimulation. Yet, isn’t “true dopamine” found instead in the comfort and encouragement we receive at the end of a difficult day? Much like ordinary water, which becomes precious only when we are thirsty, a single sip of spring water can feel invaluable. Perhaps our relentless search for dopamine is not because daily life is too mundane, but because we have let gratitude slip past us as easily as water flowing away. Following is an interview with SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. (“SAMTOH”), a wellspring for small but meaningful stories that find new life in book form.   Logo of SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.     It’s a pleasure...

Poet Na Tae-Joo

Korean Authors   Poet Na Tae-Joo Poetry, a language of longing shaped by what is missing   2025.12.01   Poetry is the most distilled form of language - words that can express the heart with absolute clarity. How romantic is someone who knows a poem by heart? And, what if so many people know the very same poem?

Ever since it appeared on the well-known message board on the exterior of the Kyobo Life building in Gwanghwamun, it has become a nationally beloved poem - yet it continues to linger deeply and resonate with quiet force. The following is an interview with poet Na Tae-Joo, who has engraved poetry in the hearts of the Korean people for more than 55 years.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends.
