Korean Editor’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Korean Editor’s Pick   2022.12.05   If you are interested in Korean culture and stories, you will eventually find yourself wondering, “What country is Korea?” Of course, there will be many ways to answer this great question, but if I were to answer, I would choose two books instead with two words “land and people.”     The first book ? or series ? that I recommend is My Exploration of Cultural Heritage (Changbi). This is one of the representative humanities book series in Korea and is regarded as the pioneer that settled “exploration journals” as a genre that differs from travelogues. The series has sold more than 4 million copies since it was published 30 years ago. It currently consists of 20 volumes ? 12 about Korea, 5 about Japan, and 3 about China. Among the volumes covering almost every region in Korea, I chose My Exploration of Cul...

K-Book Trend in Latin America Seen Through the Chilean Publishing Market

Export Case   K-Book Trend in Latin America SeenThrough the Chilean Publishing Market   2022.11.07   When people make a general analysis of Korea, they often use words like “turbulent” and “dynamic.” This is closely related to the modern history of the country. Korea is located in the most unique geopolitical region in the world, and such a condition made Koreans go through many miserable moments in history; its modern history was as if it had been dropped in the middle of the turbulent sea.It is true that the historical and geopolitical environment has made Koreans experience bitter times in history. Still, just like how shells produce beautiful, precious pearls after long years of perseverance, the pain and sorrow gave Korea a rich and profound cultural heritage and a unique sensibility. As a result, you can truly find so many priceless literary works and writers in the country. However, unlike how Korea boasts many novels, stories, and poem...

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑩] Professor Kim Ho-Dong, the World-RenownedScholar in Central Eurasian History A Broad and Deep Perspective Toward the World   2022.10.04   “A big fish in a small pond.” This is one of the Korean proverbs metaphorically used to refer to those with little knowledge about the world. Because we are from a certain country, a certain nationality, or a certain generation, we tend to look at the world from a narrow point of view. However, in order to enter the larger world, we must have the courage to break the wall around us. Professor Kim Ho-Dong of the Department of Asian History at Seoul National University has devoted his life to filling in the blank pages in world history by learning local languages to study the history of mysterious Central Eurasia and drawing a map of his own. Let’s follow in the footsteps of professor Kim, who became a world figure in the history of Central Eurasia, breaking down the solid wall called “g...
