Writer Min Ji Hyoung

Korean Authors   Writer Min Ji Hyoung Going beyond gender issues: the story of women’s love and life   2024.08.05   They say that fiction is a mirror of the times. It reflects and captures various aspects of contemporary times. Writer Min Ji Hyoung, who writes about feminism in a broad range of stories, drew attention with her first novel, My Crazy Feminist Girlfriend (Nabi Club), which raised the topical issue of “equal love” in our time. Since then, she has made her presence clear with a distinct identity, releasing My Perfect Boyfriend and His Lover (Wisdom House) and A Blessing to the Forgetful (Safehouse), sharply pointing out the painful realities of our society through entertaining fiction. With her ability to weave minor and sensitive stories into a poignant yet hilarious novel, she is making another genre in Korean fiction.       It is an honor to have you with us on K-Book Tre...

The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction

Topic   The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction   2021.09.06   When did the golden age of non-fiction begin?   There is a genre that boasts of being at the best place in the bookstores. It is non-fiction, in particular essays, a genre where people speak frankly about their personal stories."The golden era of non-fiction has arrived" has become too clich?. Essays were once treated as "useless writings" until the beginning of the 2000s, when novels or books about money and economics prevailed in the markets. However, as mega-hit essay collections emerged entering the 2010s, such underestimation dissipated. Publishers, who belatedly realized that essays make money, have begun to fiercely launch essay collections into the market.For example, Kim Nan-Do’s You Become an Adult After Wavering for Thousand Times (Munhakdongne Publishing), Hyemin Sunim’s The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down (Suo Books), Lee Byung-Ryul’s Attraction (Dal Publishers), and Lee Oi-Su...
