One-Liner Quotes Elementary School Teacher’s Pick 2023.01.02 Children’s books heal not only children’s hearts, but adults’ hearts as well. The first children’s book I would like to introduce today is a picture book titled Magic Candies (Bear Books Inc.). Have you ever imagined reading other people’s minds? Have you ever been upset by your parents for not loving you? The first appearance of Dongdong, the main character in the book, starts with a scene where he plays alone. Dongdong tries to pretend he’s alright, but he’s not alright. He could go up to his friends and ask them to play with him, but he is shy and is not familiar with thinking about others’ minds or expressing his thoughts. One day, Dongdong goes to a stationery store to buy some marbles, and he finds sweet candies that are different in color and size. Oh, no! After eating one, he starts to hear weird things – he could hear what o...

Topic Korea’s Publishing Trend- The World Literature Complete Collection 2022.05.02 At the end of a recently finished drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book titled I Like Early Summer written by Lee Na-Eun, was shown. The book does not exist in reality since it was a prop. The name Lee Na-Eun was the name of the drama's screenwriter. The book continuously shows itself as one of the key items connecting the main characters. It revealed itself in the last episode as a gift to viewers.Many viewers would have noticed that the book is similar to Minumsa Publishing Company's World Literature Series. The upper half is filled with a drawing, and the lower half is covered with a white background and a single-colored title. The cover's structure is a symbol of Minumsa's collection.

Movie Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Movie Critic’s Pick 2022.01.03 Though Korean literature never won a Nobel Prize (I believe it is not a big deal), there are countless great pieces. Many literary works will deliver globally appealing stories as Koreans have gone through overwhelming events. Modern Korean history is full of incidents and has been written into works of literature thanks to the writers' efforts to reflect their experience of overcoming catastrophic events. Koreans experienced war, poverty, dictatorship, and the democratic movement in a short period. Hence, it is only natural for novelists to capture the times in their works.North and South (Moonji Publishing Company), written by Hong Sung-won, is one of the masterpieces that the world would recognize. This saga was written in 1977 and showed the Korean war, the horrific fall of humans as a species, and the tenacious vitality that regenerates life as characters overcome ...
