Korean Publishers   Hakgojae Publishers Turning the Old Into the New, Towards a Broader, Richer Future   2023.12.04   A new trend in Korea - newtro (a newly coined word combining “new” and “retro”) - has recently become popular among the younger generation.

Book-tuber’s Picks

One-Liner Quotes   Book-tuber’s Picks Two ways of looking at hope:Kim Eun-Kook’s The Martyred, Park Ji-Won’s The Jehol Diary   2021.10.05     The novel The Martyred (Munhakdongne Publishing Co.) depicts human beings that didn’t let go of hope even in the midst of war. Koreans had to undergo the Korean War, which was a skirmish of the Cold War in the 20th century, only five years after the country was liberated from Japanese occupation. All human beliefs are shattered on the battlefield, where minutes or even seconds determine life and death: evil flourishes, and good dies.

Writer Kim Eun-Kook who immigrated to the United States after participating in the Korean War as an officer, elevates the story of a young man who ...

Then, how about going on a “book-cation (book-reading + vacation)” with books filled with the summer vibe? Following is an introduction of charming summer books that eve...

3rd Week, June 2021 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2021.07.05   One book topped the bestseller lists of four major online bookstores in Korea in the third week of June 2021.

It has been gaining great sympathy from male readers in their 20s with stories about the era where the real and fake are mixed up in chaos.Non-fic...
