Hey Uhm

Hey Uhm Joyful Swimming in the Vast Sea of the Publishing Industry   2020.03.02   Publisher Hey Uhm   There was a writer that would “directly sell” her writing to readers through Social Media. It is the story of writer Lee Seula, who came up with a clever idea to continue securing stable finance through writing. This fresh approach shocked the publishing industry which sparked little changes to take place. And writer Lee Seula, the one that ignited the changes, set up Hey Uhm to create books she wants. Writing a story and making a book. They are different in many aspects by nature except one thing that they are all for readers. Still, many questions arose regarding the publisher that was born with a bold decision and its founder.   Writer Lee Seul-ah, founder of Publisher Hey Uhm ⓒ Ryu Han-kyung   The name of the company, Hey Uhm, is unique.

Humanist Books

Humanist Books Spreading wide, deep knowledge and culture   2017.10.10   Recently, I set out to conduct an interview with Seo-hyeon Hwang, executive editor at Humanist Books. After setting out from Hongik Univ. Station and finding my way through the narrow paths of Yeonnam-dong, passing by several pretty cafes with outdoor seating, I found myself before a gray, modern building. The word "Humanist" can plainly be seen on one side of the building. After stepping into the coffee shop on the first floor and making my way down a set of stairs I discovered books Humanist has published, all organized neatly.From the basement to the top, the floors of the building are well connected, like water flowing. From the outside it is clearly a building with sharp angles, but the interior everything fits perfectly. I randomly lift my head in the center of the building and the open ceiling lends a view of the blue sky above.I think to myself, 'This is a quite human building'. From the exterio...

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays   2018.05.30   A list of bestselling books at times can be perceived as a miniature version of a society. Especially at times like now when far fewer people are buying books, the act of purchasing a book reflects a person's strong want to own a book even at the expense of paying one's hard-earned money. Not only do trendy books sell, but books that accurately secure society's general flow and emotions do well. From that perspective, looking at bestsellers becomes an act of analysis into a society.       At present time in 2018, emotional essays are seeing no end to their fame in South Korean bookstores. For industry leaders like Kyobo Book Centre and Aladin last year, the bestselling book in 2017 was Lee Ki-ju's Temperature of Language. The book shows very well the author's career as a speech writer for the presidential office following years as a journalist. Previously, Lee was known for his books o...
