In the four years since 2020, the number of Korean authors winning international literary awards skyrocketed. Among the 45 awards won since 2003, 20 were from 2020 and onward. The following are some of the most prominent wins or nominations for international literary awards in the past four years.In 2020, Kim Young-Ha’s Diary of a Murderer (Bokbok S...

Where Poetry and History Meet

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑦] Where Poetry and History Meet Exploring the Kim Su-Young Museum and Cultural Legacy in Dobong-gu, Seoul   2024.11.04   A place that’s just ordinary for some can be a magnificent destination for others, inspiring memories and recharging the soul. Seoul, the capital of Korea, is a prime example of this duality. With the growing popularity of K-culture in various aspects, more travelers are visiting Seoul; however, if you make a trip slightly outside the center of Seoul to Dobong-gu, you will find a different Seoul with a more tranquil atmosphere. Surrounded by Bukhansan Mountain, Dobong-gu is a district where you can take a walk around the trail or hike up the mountain. There are also many areas where you can look down the mountain, get a glimpse of the cultural powerhouse that is Korea, and be touched and impressed. If you walk down the narrow alleyways of Dobong-gu, which add to the curiosity and fun of discovering hid...

Promoting Korean Art Through Books

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ⑤] Promoting Korean Art Through Books English editions of Korean art books for foreigners   2024.10.07   Youlhwadang Publishers, the publisher I’m working for as an editor, has three ways of utilizing English when publishing books on Korean traditional culture and arts. At the most basic level, we include an English summary at the front of the book that summarizes the content of the Korean edition, with the intent of providing the most basic information for librarians in foreign libraries with no Korean skills to categorize the books. For art collections that are mainly image-based with relatively few texts, the full text is included in both Korean and English so that it can be distributed at home and abroad as a single edition. This is also useful for artists to use as a portfolio when performing abroad. Finally, the Korean and English editions can be planned as independent books, published simultaneous...

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑥] The Hometown Scenery That Becamethe Literary Roots of a Modern Boy Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwondo: Gasan (可山) Lee Hyo-Seok Memorial Hall   2024.10.07   Fall in Pyeongchang begins with the white buckwheat blossoms. The buckwheat fields that cover the vast expanse of Bongpyeong-eup in white create a dreamlike beauty in combination with the blue sky. In his novel When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom, writer Lee Hyo-Seok described this view as “I could hardly breathe in the soft moonlight as if it were sprinkled with salt.” Pyeongchang hosts the “Hyoseok Culture Festival” to spotlight the literary world of Gasan (Lee’s pen name) Lee Hyo-Seok, including When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom in September, when you can stroll through a field of buckwheat flowers as if you were walking into a scene from the novel.

Current Status of Adult-Oriented Picture Book Publishing and Publishers in Korea

Knowledge   Current Status of Adult-Oriented Picture Book Publishingand Publishers in Korea   2024.09.02   Reflections on “picture books for adults”   My publishing house, “A Little Cat at Noon (오후의 소묘),” began to be called the “picture book publisher for grown-ups” as we published our first picture book At the Drop of a Cat (written by ?lise Fontenaille, illustrated by Violeta L?piz) in spring 2019. But, what exactly is a “picture book for adults”?   Korean cover of At the Drop of a Cat     According to Rouergue, French publisher of the original book At the Drop of a Cat (original title: Les poings sur les ?les), the book is a picture book for children aged 6 or above. If a child and an adult read the book together, the child reads it more progressively. As such, while the best readers of picture books have been, and are, children, there are, in fact, fun picture ...

Want to Know More About Korean Architecture?

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ②] Want to Know More About Korean Architecture?   2024.07.01   I start this article with the confession that writing an introduction to English books on Korean architecture is perhaps even more challenging than writing an English book on Korean architecture itself, primarily because the absolute number of such books is so small. Considering the fact that the Korean architecture market is not small at all, that many of the world’s leading architects have left their legacies in Korea, and that Korea has consistently participated in international architectural events such as the Venice Biennale, this is somewhat surprising. This is even more true when we consider that there are a significant number of people in the Korean architectural community who have had first-hand experience in other countries through studying or working abroad and are familiar with foreign languages. For a country that exports so many th...

K-Book Map   Where Literature Dwells- Bridging the Past and Present of Korean Literature through Its Museums -     2026.04     Literary museums dedicated to specific writers hold profound significance. They serve as cultural archives that reveal the various elements behind the birth of a literary masterpiece. Numerous such museums operate across Korea today. Among them, we would like to introduce three locations selected for their historical and regional balance: the Yun Dong-ju Literature Museum in Seoul (Yun Dong-ju: 1917–1945), the Pak Kyongni Literature Park in Wonju, Gangwon-do (Pak Kyongni: 1926–2008), and the Na Tae-joo Pulkkot Literary House in Gongju, Chungnam (Na Tae-joo: 1945–).
