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 ...

Korean Theatre Director’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Korean Theatre Director’s Pick 2023.05.02 The first book I would like to introduce is For Teenagers Asking About Peace and Reunification (Seohaemunjip), by Jung Wook-Sik. Writer Jung is a peace activist that studies a nuclear-free world and peace by establishing a peace network and spreading its values. The illustrations were drawn by illustrator JUNO.I have been making original plays based on history. I believe that you can find grounds for problems that remain unresolved today through history, and find clues for the future. In particular, the division of the Korean peninsula is one of the issues that I want to touch upon as a creator. In this context, this book provides easy explanations about things that we know vaguely about, or have no knowledge of, by starting with a question, “Can we become happier if the two Koreas are reunited?” Being familiar with something or things being obvious...

Singer-Songwriter’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Singer-Songwriter’s Pick 2023.04.03 First and foremost, I chose one book about Korean pop music. There are more foreign readers that know about K-Pop than me these days. So, I chose the story of a master that is like the starting point of K-Pop history. And another book I chose is an interesting non-fiction book about key incidents in modern Korean history. One of my foreign friends that used to be greatly interested in the Gwangju Uprising motivated me to pick the book. The first book I would like to introduce is Shin Jung-Hyeon’s My Guitar Never Sleeps (Haeto). Shin Jung-Hyeon is a rock musician and producer that led Korean pop music in the 1960s and 70s. His sons ? Shin Dae-Cheol, Shin Yoon-Cheol, and Shin Seok-Cheol ? also became legendary musicians in Korea.
