Korea’s Flagship Literary Awards for Poems

Korea’s Flagship Literary Awards for Poems “Kim Su-Young Literary Award” and “Sowol Poetry Award”   2020.04.06   Poet Kim Su-Young (1921-1968), Sowol Kim Jung-Sik (1902-1934)     Kim Su-Young Literary Award   Kim Su-Young, a representative poet in Korea who participated in movements with literature, entered the literary world in 1947 when his poem The Song of Myojeong was published in a literary magazine Art Village (Yesul Burak). His passion for art never faded amidst the gloomy reality during the Japanese occupation. With endless efforts to equalize poems with life, the language used in his poems did not draw a line between poetic and daily expressions for the first time in Korea’s modern poems. He began as a modernist in the beginning criticizing the modern civilization and urban life; Kim Su-Young’s poetic world encountered a drastic change when historical incidents, the fraudulent election on March 15, 1960, and the April 19 Revolutio...

Spring Literary Contests held by Newspapers

Spring Literary Contests held by Newspapers Literary Contests for New Writers   2020.03.02   ⓒ Kyunghyang Shinmun, Chosun Ilbo, DongA Ilbo, Munhwa Ilbo   New writers make their debut to the literary world by presenting their works through various channels such as independent publications, contracts with a publisher, literary contests, and online platforms. Among all these, “Shinchunmunye (Spring Literary Contest)” is a unique literary contest in Korea reserved for young writers. Korean newspapers select and award works of new writers on every first day of the year; it is also referred to as “the gateway for newly-debuting writers.”The uniqueness of the Spring Literary Contests comes from the fact that unlike other contests or literary awards, their door is open to only the works of new writers, limiting the participation of professional writers. Therefore, it is playing a critical role in the Korean literary world as it discovers new literary authors and widely int...

I assumed that it would be about a new species different from an ordinary human being, thinking of “Mystic” from the movie “X-Men.” But, I was completely wrong ? I also realized that I had prejudice and discriminative thoughts inside me. Even if the protagonist was born with blue skin, he was a human being just like us. No matter what skin we mig...

Trends and news in South Korea's book design

Trends and news in South Korea's book design   2018.01   Despite there being very limited space on a book for design, we've seen many changes in book design both experimental and diverse. Up to the early 2000s, it wasn't clear what the concept of book design entailed and at many times people would ask what it was exactly 'book designers' did.   Book designers are one of many people who are involved in making books and not only do they design the covers, they need to understand the font and contemplate how to connect readers with the materialistic characteristics of the book. In the 1980s, the form of books was quite simple and there were limitations as to how books were designed. Looking back, the unique designs from then had influenced book designs to a great extent, when book designers had to work with film by hand in designing the books(See image 1). With the development of programs, it now takes a very small amount of time to get what's inside your head onto the cov...
