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,” ...

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 cliché. 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...

Essay Writer’s Picks

One-Liner Quotes   Essay Writer’s Picks   2021.09.06     Among the many Korean authors, my favorite author that is close to my heart is Park Wan-Suh. She lived up to her will of “I would be happy to die an author.” And following her dream, I also hope to live as an author until the last moment of my life. Her words, “Waste your youth as much as you wish, for it is the only thing acceptable to be wasted.” are etched in my heart. I interpreted the quote to mean that wasting youth is like taking on challenges that may seem unachievable. It helped me live through the days in my 20s. Out of all the good novels and essays she has left, I would like to introduce Even If the Truth is Worth a Grain of Sand, an essay written by a person who loved beautiful things - beautiful for being humble, sincere, and simple.“There’s one day when everyone seems to be kinder than me. That day was th...
