Uijeongbu Music Library

Book Trip   [Korean Libraries with Themes ②] Uijeongbu Music Library Harmony of Black Music Created by the Collaboration of Music, Books, and Space   2022.07.04   One of the positive changes brought by the stronger influence of local governments is that the unique cultures of each region are becoming more independent. Small cities have been making good progress in this regard. For example, Uijeongbu, well-known as a city where US troops are stationed, has spread relevant cultures. Among all, Uijeongbu has become a leading region, a mecca for so-called black music, such as jazz, R&B, and blues that the US soldiers enjoyed. Using this characteristic, Uijeongbu City opened a music library in June 2021. While it is unique that the library is themed under “music,” the thing that it is based on black music makes the library more unique, as similar libraries would mainly cover classical music. Let’s take a walk through Uijeongbu Music Library, where...

Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick   2022.07.04   Before coming to Korea for the first time about 5 years ago, I must admit I was not well-acquainted with Korean culture overall. I did see a couple of Korean movies and dramas, and I did become a fan of BTS’ music around the time Hallyu was shyly making its way into my country, Serbia. However, I have never read a single book by a Korean author prior to moving to Korea. The two books I would like to introduce today I thought to be uniquely marked with a deep sense of something specifically ‘Korean’, while at the same time, equally and as deeply reflecting the purest and deepest universal human values, and as such, I believe could evoke true empathy with readers anywhere around the globe. So far, the two books left the greatest, most profound impact on me throughout my years of living in Korea.     When I first typed the word ‘Gwangju’ in the...

Writer Jung Dae-Gun

Korean Authors   Writer Jung Dae-Gun Different in Form, Yet Always a “Story”   2025.09.04   Human language is generally used for two purposes: to convey information or to spread stories. Both have a profound impact on our lives. If the former is essential for survival and progress, the latter is indispensable for finding meaning in life. It is because our lives themselves become stories, and the empathy gained through them forms the basis for understanding others. The following is an interview with writer Jung Dae-Gun, who conveys this uniquely human language of empathy in diverse and distinctive styles.   (Source: Kim Seo-Hae)     It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers and introduce yourself briefly.   Hello, I’m novelist Jung Dae-Gun. I once worked on documentary and feature films, but now I am fully devoted to writing novels.

Zeen Scene

Korean Publishers   Zeen Scene The true essence of everyday moments hidden in authentic scenery   2025.08.04   When we encounter a rare or exceptional moment or scene, we often say, “I’ve encountered something authentic.” In a literal sense, it refers to something rarely seen, but when interpreted through emotion, the term conveys both delight and joy. Perhaps that’s why books from the publisher ‘True Scenery’ spark the curiosity of readers simply by their existence. Those who open the books may find themselves encountering the true essence of spaces, objects, and daily life. In this issue of K-Book Trends’ Korean Publishers, we spoke with Zeen Scene’s CEO, Kim Jin-Hee, about the reality she sees and how she hopes to convey it through her books.   The logo of Zeen Scene     It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

Window of Times

Korean Publishers   Window of Times Pierce like a spear, reflect like a window, or sing like a singer   2025.06.02   Why do you make books? Every publisher will have a different answer to this question. Yet, every answer has its own value, and our lives are thus enriched. The publisher Window of Times continues to release books about beings and lives that we are familiar with, but know little about. From Marx to Chomsky, from farmers to convenience store part-timers, it delves deeply and uncomplicatedly into the stories of those we mistake for too distant or too familiar - to make books as a spear, window, or a song (창 in the publisher’s Korean name, “시대의창,” can be used in three different ways) to the world.   The logo of publishing house Window of Times     It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.
