Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ⑤] The Library of Mystery Literature The World of Mystery on Dalmajigil Road 2023.06.05 When people think of Busan, the first thing that comes to their mind is the sea. Then, Haeundae pops up, as it is the best beach in Busan. There’s a hill named “Dalmaji-gil Road” in one corner of Haeundae beach. Also known as the Dalmaji Hill among the local residents, the street was given the name “dalmaji (meaning ‘welcoming the full moon’ in Korean)” as you can see the ocean down the steep hill and the moon rising above the sea. On this hill, which gives off a unique vibe just by its name, there’s a hidden place that only a few know. It is “The Library of Mystery Literature,” which is said to be the one and only library specializing in mystery fiction in both Korea and the world. The combination of the moon, sea, hill, and mystery makes us feel as if we have come inside a novel already. Excited to find out what kind of ...

Chaeg Bar

Book Trip [Celeb’s Book Spot ④] Chaeg Bar A Healing Space Where Books and Liquor Harmonize 2023.05.02 The area in front of Hongik University, where restaurants, bars, and clubs are focused, is known as an area for young people. Walk along the Yeonhuiro road, past the crowded street, and you will find a bar that shows off a unique concept - “Chaeg Bar.” Chaeg Bar, which is like finding treasure hidden deep inside an alley, is a “drinking bookstore” - a bar and a night bookstore - like its name suggests (chaeg means book in Korean). A bar and a bookstore seem like an awkward mix, but Chaeg Bar has been getting word of mouth as it was introduced by movie director Jang Hang-Jun, writer Kim Young-Ha, Kim Sang-Wook, and RM of BTS (idol group). It might not be easy to find the place as it is located between stores in a narrow alley, but it proudly says that “there might be people that have never visited us, but there is no one t...

With the emergence of new media, we hear that literature will soon face its demise every time. However, even in the era of YouTube and Netflix, Korean literature still keeps its blood young with the inflow of new writers. At the center of the new flow stands the so-called Gen-MZ (Millennials + Gen Z) writers, born in the 1980s and 1990s. Gen MZ writers, such as Choi Eun-Yung, Chung Se-Rang, Jang Ryu-Jin, Park Sang-Young, Kim Cho-Yeop, and Cheon Seon-Ran, are highlighted as the future of Korean literature.
