Bestseller Keyword - Money

Bestseller Keyword - Money In 2020, Readers Chased After the Flow of Money   2021.02.08       The Asian Financial Crisis that broke out in 1997 may have sparked the recent publishing trend of “money” and “wealth” in Korea. At this time when all the conventional wisdom of getting a good job, earning money, and pursuing a stable life without debts has broken, books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad (Minumin) that suggest a new perspective that debt can also be an asset claiming that people need to study about money, and Who Moved My Cheese? (Jinmyoung) that gives a lesson that only those that have overcome fear and adapted to changes can go through challenges, caught readers’ attention.

Readers, who became anxious due to restructuring in their company, early retirement, and the burden of inflation-dr...

Midnight Light: Can Light Become Pollution?

Book Grocery   Midnight Light:Can Light Become Pollution?     2026.06     A Story from an Office Worker Living in Donggyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul:   At some point, massive electronic billboards began taking over the building facades along the streets near Hongik University Station. Saturated with these overwhelming digital displays, Hongdae today is constantly flooded with brilliant, piercing light, even in the dead of night. Passersby often call it spectacular or find themselves captivated by the latest advertisements, but I look at these billboards through a slightly different lens.   “It is so bright that the night no longer feels like night.”   While others merely catch a fleeting glimpse of these screens as they walk past, I am forced to look down at them from my apartment window every single day. From where I stand, these neon monoliths do not e...
