The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World

Topic   The “Most Korean” Features Penetrate the World   2023.01.02   I met Kristen Vida Alfaro, CEO of Tilted Axis Press, in the UK last September. Tilted Axis Press is the publisher set up by Debora Smith, who won the International Booker Prize with Han Kang. The company introduced Love in the Big City (Changbi Publishers) written by Park Sang-Young and translated by Anton Hur to the UK, and the book put its name on the Booker Prize Longlist this year. Also, translated by the same translator, Chung Bora’s Cursed Bunny (Arzak) was selected for the Booker Prize Shortlist. As such, Korean literature ? or K-literature ? has recently been creating a sensation in English-speaking countries. If you take a closer look at the phenomenon, you will realize that diaspora literature written by Korean-Americans is at the center of popularity, such as Lee Min-Jin’s Pachinko and Michelle Zauner’s Crying in H Mart.   * K-Book Trends Vol. 47 ?

Korean and Japanese Publishers Join Hands

Export Case   Korean and Japanese Publishers Join Hands The Joy of Working Together   2022.12.05   Jinbocho, located in Tokyo, Japan, is famous for being the center of bookstores. About 130 old bookstores are lined up, and bookstores ? both big franchises and independents ? can be easily found in every alley. Old bookstores on the first floor set out a little table in front of them every morning to display books, and the alleys are soon crowded with people looking to buy books. This place has many publishing houses as well. People say Jinbocho has become famous as a hub for bookstores because there have been many educational institutions in the area since the 1600s. In addition, many prominent universities still exist in this region. As such, Jinbocho is a town of 100-year-old bookstores and publishing houses.I myself am writing books, running a bookstore, and working as a book broker in this town where writers, producers, and readers all naturally gather around....

Korean Bookstores Dominated by Screenplays and scripts

Topic   Korean Bookstores Dominated by Screenplays and Scripts   2022.11.07   “Do you stop reading screenplays after watching movies in Korea?”“It’s out… ‘in the fullness of time.’”“The ‘unparalleled’ screenplay that I made a ‘decision’ to buy.”“This is the only way to read the best screenplay. What else can I do?”- Comments by fans of the movie “Decision to Leave” on their expectations for the screenplay publication parodying the movie’s lines   The movie “Decision to Leave,” released last June, is the most recent movie written by Chung Seo-Kyung and directed by Park Chan-Wook. It won the Best Director Award at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. The movie’s popularity was not as high as expected soon after its release, but the share of “en cha gamsang (n차 감상, or “n-th watcher”),” who watch the same movie several times, was as high as blockbuster movies. Thanks to its strong fandom, the film was able to run for a long on thea...

Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick   2022.11.07   In Korea, there is a saying, “Autumn is the season of books.” Just like the saying, it feels as if you have to have the romantic moment of reading a book at a park, cherishing the red, falling leaves. But, on the other hand, autumn might be the season farthest from reading books. They say that people read the least in the fall. I think maybe that’s because many of them go out for a picnic in good weather.Another paradox related to books can be found in the bestsellers’ trend. If you go to a bookstore, you will see books written by popular YouTubers lining the shelves. Just look at the sales record ? non-fiction bestsellers are mostly written by YouTubers. But, according to the readership status report announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism in 2021, a majority of people, across generations and gender, said that one of the biggest reasons they cannot read books is...
