Topic Korean Picture Books Today Closing the 2023 Korea Picture Book Award 2024.01.02 In November 2023, the winners of the first Korea Picture Book Award, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA), were announced. Eight titles and publishers were honored in the grand prize, special prize, and rookie prize categories for fiction and nonfiction. Considering the size of the prize and the diverse range of winning titles, it was a good start for a new award system. The “picture book” genre is not yet fully established in the Korean publishing industry. For example, in large bookstores, “picture books” are placed in a subcategory of the pre-school category. However, the fact that we were able to clearly recognize “picture books” as a single artistic genre and reach a consensus in the screening process to organize an “award for picture books” is thanks to the strong growth of th...

He is also a writer, releasing No Ifs (Munhakdongne), A Vicious Day (Munhakdongne), and Some Fairly Peaceful Days (Munhakdongne). Science is hard. But there is nothing more fun than science. Science is about exploring the nature of the world, and when you study science, you always get to the root of existence. After all, our world looks different through the eyes of science. On the other hand, science is also a difficult field for the public. It is inevitably accompanied by difficult formulas and unfriendly, counterintuitive facts. Dr. Kim Sang-Wook, a professor of physics at Kyunghee University, is one of the scientists who interacts most closely with the public in Korea. Among the many branc...

From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature

Topic From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature 2023.08.07 Korean mystery literature originated in the unique conditions of the Japanese occupation. Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918. Most of the works serialized in newspapers at the time were re-translations of works by Ruiko Kuriowa, a Japanese author of adapted novels. By the 1920s, adapted mystery novels moved out of newspapers and were published in magazines such as Hacksaengkye, Chungnyeon, and Dongmyung, and emphasized that they were intellectual works for readers with a certain level of reading ability, such as educated young adults and students.However, the writers who translated and wrote mystery literature w...

Topic The 2023 Seoul International Book Fair andthe K-Book Copyright Market On-site Report on Hot Issues in the Copyright Market 2023.07.03 The “National Book Fair,” which began in 1954, was upgraded to an international book fair in 1995 and became the “Seoul International Book Fair (SIBF).” I joined the publishing industry in 1995 as a copyright agent, and attended the SIBF for the first time in the same year. It was named an “international” book fair, but there were a few booths from overseas publishers as well as other international publishers or agents that participated as individual guests. Time has passed since then, and this year, the SIBF marked its 29th anniversary.Hosted by the Korean Publishers Association, this year’s SIBF was successfully held in COEX located in Samsung-dong, Seoul, over five days from June 14 to 18.

Japanese Translator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Japanese Translator’s Pick 2023.06.05 There’s a place that I go to whenever the spring comes after the winter. It’s my mom and dad’s graves, who passed away quite a long time ago. The graves are barren and desolate, showing how cold it was last winter. The grass has turned yellow, the leaves are thickly piled, and there are even holes made in the ground by animals from the mountain. But it’s a relief that the tall pines and yew trees surrounding the graves are green. Basking in the spring breeze, I wipe down the headstones with a mop, rake leaves with a pitchfork, firmly step on dry grass, and startle, like usual. It’s because there are fluffy balls – pasqueflowers – everywhere. Blooming one step ahead of the winter, pasqueflowers were bending their purple heads down.And a scene comes to mind. It’s the childhood of the two daughters. Whenever the two daughters, who have now become adu...
