The “Anxiety of Youth” Crosses National Borders

Export Case   The “Anxiety of Youth” Crosses National Borders   2025.05.07   What defines independent publishing? As publishing formats diversify and formerly “self-published authors” begin to compete by starting their own publishing houses, the question of what constitutes independent publishing has become a hot topic. In the absence of objective indicators, independent publisher Balcony defines independent publishing as follows: publishing that can entice readers with its own narrative without large-scale capital investment. In this sense, Yeon Jeong’s Tomorrow’s Sun Will Rise, But What About Tonight? can be considered one of the clear success stories of independent publishing.Before it was published by Balcony in 2020, Tomorrow’s Sun Will Rise, But What About Tonight? was an independent publication that Yeon Jeong wrote as a palm-sized book and distributed on a small scale. The publisher at Balcony discovered the book, which had been dis...

Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ③] Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders   2025.03.10       Berlin was a city divided into East and West by the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. For Koreans, it is also a place they feel an emotional connection to as they share the same history of division. In 1989, the Berlin Wall finally collapsed and Germany was reunified; now, the East Side Gallery stands in its place as a memorial. Stretching a whopping 1,316 meters long, it is the world’s largest open-air gallery - 108 artists from 21 countries drew 105 paintings on the wall in 1990 with messages of peace, unity, and opposition to war. Once a symbol of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall has now become a symbol of hope and freedom, a new Berlin landmark and a must-see tourist attraction that has touched and inspired many people.Berlin is a city that draws young travelers from al...

They wanted to meet me at the Frankfurt Book Fair. I was going to be there, so we agreed to meet on October 19. This was about a month after I had sent them a cold email looking for an export partner. Within that month, I sent them a cover letter for my publishing house, met with them to introduce my publication lineup, and passed on additional materials about the works they were interested in. Among them was a proposal for The Seoul Letter Shop (TXTY), including a synopsis.It felt interesting and fateful that two Korean companies would be meeting in Frankfurt on October 19, 2023, to talk about working together.

Leading the Renaissance of Modern Korean Literature Through Various Activities

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑨] Leading the Renaissance of Modern Korean LiteratureThrough Various Activities Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do: Nojak Literature House   2025.01.06   The transformation of a city is sometimes more surprising and wondrous than sangjeonbyeokhae (桑田碧海), which is translated as “a field of mulberry trees transforms into a blue sea.” Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, is a large area straddling both the inland and the sea, and was once a small village connected to Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do. It was then transformed by the development of a large industrial complex and a new town. Stepping away from the dense factories and apartment complexes, Hwaseong is a city where you can feel the atmosphere of the sea with beautiful sunsets, as well as a city with a long history of cultural heritage. Among its many treasures is the Nojak Hong Sa-Yong Literature House, which breathes the spirit of culture and art into the city, elevating its character. We ...

Since 1997, he has been involved in popular music media, festivals, research, education, and publishing. He recently published an interview collection featuring Uhm In-Ho and Ahn Chi-Hwan in the series Record of a Legend: The Artists Park Jun-Heum Met.   The winter’s cold and cloudy days are lingering on. Partly because of the weather, partly because of getting older, I think there is definitely a kind of depression that I have never experienced before. Maybe that’s why old politicians are so obsessed with power to counteract it. And maybe that’s the answer to the question, “What kind of wealth and honor do you expect at that age?”It may have little to do with wealth or glory, but here are two books that embody the enduring wisdom forged only by those who persevere daily through hardships, along wit...

Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers   2024.12.02   Korean literature and Editions Picquier have a long story. We began publishing books from Asia nearly 40 years ago: Korea and its literature, virtually unknown in France at the time, have fascinated us from our earliest days. The first works we published - Kim Won Il’s Mr Lee’s Travel, KIM Song Dong’s Mandala, Yun Hung Kil’s The Mother - almost went unnoticed; it was challenging to bring readers into contact with a literature that was far removed from the habits and preoccupations of French readers. It was a literature that gave pride of place to cultural traditions, to the earth, to history. We thus decided to publish anthologies of short stories and essays to give French readers some reference points. This had a pedagogical purpose, establishing a foothold in Korean literature and presenting a more organized history to readers. More than 30 years ago, what was being published in France wa...
