Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges   2019.09.09     Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan.     Travel into layers of time     The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today.     For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination. It is a port city that leads to the Pacific...

South Korea's Publishing Industry in H1 2019 and Forecasts for H2 Local publishing industry issues seen through bestseller and reader data analyses   2019.08.05   What kind of changes took place in the first half of 2019 for South Korea's publishing industry? First of all, typical for the first six months of every year, there were many books that looked back on the previous year and set new goals for the current year. Books that carried serious ruminations about life were snapped up by readers. And for the first time in a long time, liberal arts books -mostly philosophical books, did better than books in other categories.
