Uijeongbu Music Library

Book Trip   [Korean Libraries with Themes ②] Uijeongbu Music Library Harmony of Black Music Created by the Collaboration of Music, Books, and Space   2022.07.04   One of the positive changes brought by the stronger influence of local governments is that the unique cultures of each region are becoming more independent. Small cities have been making good progress in this regard. For example, Uijeongbu, well-known as a city where US troops are stationed, has spread relevant cultures. Among all, Uijeongbu has become a leading region, a mecca for so-called black music, such as jazz, R&B, and blues that the US soldiers enjoyed. Using this characteristic, Uijeongbu City opened a music library in June 2021. While it is unique that the library is themed under “music,” the thing that it is based on black music makes the library more unique, as similar libraries would mainly cover classical music. Let’s take a walk through Uijeongbu Music Library, where...

On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day, How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?

Topic   On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day,How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?   2022.06.07   Many say, “The greater discovery than finding a new continent or inventing electricity is coining the concept, children.” Before the concept was recognized, children were merely toys for their parents or tools to use as a means. The discovery of the concept of children is the biggest for Chosun as it did not know the existence of young people. - Bang Jeong-Hwan, A historical study of the Joseon juvenile movement, The Chosun Ilbo, 1929/1/4.   The year 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Children’s Day in Korea. The Children’s Day Declaration, announced by Bang Jeong-Hwan in 1922, is recognized as the world’s first children’s human rights declaration announced even before the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child (the Geneva Declaration) in 1924, which was adopted by the League of Nation...

Writer Seo Hyun

Korean Authors   Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination   2025.10.02   Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...

Writer Jung Dae-Gun

Korean Authors   Writer Jung Dae-Gun Different in Form, Yet Always a “Story”   2025.09.04   Human language is generally used for two purposes: to convey information or to spread stories. Both have a profound impact on our lives. If the former is essential for survival and progress, the latter is indispensable for finding meaning in life. It is because our lives themselves become stories, and the empathy gained through them forms the basis for understanding others. The following is an interview with writer Jung Dae-Gun, who conveys this uniquely human language of empathy in diverse and distinctive styles.   (Source: Kim Seo-Hae)     It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers and introduce yourself briefly.   Hello, I’m novelist Jung Dae-Gun. I once worked on documentary and feature films, but now I am fully devoted to writing novels.

Zeen Scene

Korean Publishers   Zeen Scene The true essence of everyday moments hidden in authentic scenery   2025.08.04   When we encounter a rare or exceptional moment or scene, we often say, “I’ve encountered something authentic.” In a literal sense, it refers to something rarely seen, but when interpreted through emotion, the term conveys both delight and joy. Perhaps that’s why books from the publisher ‘True Scenery’ spark the curiosity of readers simply by their existence. Those who open the books may find themselves encountering the true essence of spaces, objects, and daily life. In this issue of K-Book Trends’ Korean Publishers, we spoke with Zeen Scene’s CEO, Kim Jin-Hee, about the reality she sees and how she hopes to convey it through her books.   The logo of Zeen Scene     It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.
