K-pop and the World!

Special Project   [Book × Music] K-pop and the World! K-pop Seen in Books and the Changing Trend of Korean Popular Music   2023.08.07     By their very nature, books are vessels of knowledge encompassing all fields. Endless topics can be written about depending on the material and message. In the [Book × _____ ] series, experts recommend Korean books in their respective fields that you’ve been curious about but had trouble discovering more about. Now, let’s jump into the infinite world of books through the collaboration of books with various fields.     K-pop, which has almost settled as a common noun like English Pop music, is defined as “young popular music of Korea since the 2000s,” or “music with an international appeal or global popularity.” K-pop is the ultimate composite of terms like “teens,” “dance music,” “overseas expansion,” and “idols.” While we can see the influence of J-po...

Flowers of the Orient ? Bringing Korean Gems to Polish Readers

Export Case   Flowers of the Orient? Bringing Korean Gems to Polish Readers   2023.05.02   Sixteen years ago, immediately after a fellow Korean Philology student and good friend, Edyta Matejko-Paszkowska, and I decided to establish a publishing house that was centered around Korean literature, people were perplexed. ‘Why?’ they asked.

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...
