Performance Summary of Korean Publications in the Global Publishing Market in 2020 and Prospects for 2021   2021.01.04       Performance summary of Korean publications in the global publishing market in 2020 The year 2020 will be recorded as a year in which Korean publications have had a meaningful experience in the global publishing market. It is because they have received balanced positive feedback in both fiction and non-fiction categories and in the Asian, European, US, and UK publishing markets. While certain titles or areas had been the cherry on the cake in the past, the trend has changed in 2020. Books in various genres have shown almost equally significant performance in various language regions. This can be interpreted that K-books are having closer interactions with readers across the world while gaining more influence in the global publishing market.In the first half of 2020, the publishing industry in the world has had an unexpected time of turbulence ...

Seoul International Book Fair 2020

Seoul International Book Fair 2020 New Attempts and Experiments in the Era of COVID-19   2020.12.07   Official poster of the Seoul International Book Fair   Early this year, the Seoul International Book Fair organizers had been busy preparing for the next fair set to be held in June as usual. However, as the first big wave of the pandemic crisis hit Korea in February and persisted into March and April, most cultural art events that amass a big audience had to be canceled or postponed until the second half of the year. As such, the SIBF could not be held in June, as unforeseeable circumstances curtailed the freedom of movement. It was also difficult to predict how the situation would change, so taking the event's original form and plans was a high risk. The Seoul International Book Fair 2020 had no other choice but to take on a new challenge. Physical isolation, non-contact, and online platforms accelerated the changes and made the Book Fair think of a new para...

My Child is a Talker, My Nephew is an Interviewer

Book Grocery   My Child is a Talker,My Nephew is an Interviewer     2026.05     A Story from a Mother Raising a Son   I am a mother raising a son. Since he was about two years old, my child has been exceptionally articulate. He started speaking earlier than his peers, always had plenty to say, and above all, talked incessantly. At daycare, I constantly heard things like, "He’s so bright," and "He expresses himself so well." Naturally, I assumed, "My child and I communicate so well together.“   However, there was a day when that assumption was completely shattered. It happened when I met my nephew, who is the same age as my son. Meeting him after a long time, I noticed my nephew had grown into an elementary schooler who chatted away comfortably. But something about him was different.   "Auntie, what did you do today?" ...

Work-Life Balance: Your Guide to Sustainable and Healthy Hobby

Image of K-Book   Work-Life Balance: Your Guide to Sustainable and Healthy Hobby     2026.04     Poll results for “What do you feel most defines Korean workplace culture?”   The question for this issue was: “What do you feel most defines Korean workplace culture?” The most selected response, chosen by 36.3% of participants, was "Flexible Work / Work-Life Balance (Warabel)." Work-life balance has been a major talking point in the Korean labor environment. Responding to this, Korean workplace culture has been shifting since the COVID-19 pandemic toward reducing after-work gatherings (hoesik) and prioritizing personal time to ensure a healthy balance. Consequently, an increasing percentage of office workers are dedicating their time after work to pursuing hobbies or acquiring new knowledge.   Runner Imba (Yoo Mun-jin), You Are a Runner Too, Ed...

However, to truly understand the depth of Korean life, one must look closer at the daily reality of Koreans. Among these realities, "house" is a crucial keyword for understanding Korean society. This is because where one lives, how one secures a house, and how safely that space can be protected are not just simple lifestyle issues—they are fact...

Chopsticks That Move Before Words, Jeong(情)

Image of K-Book   Chopsticks That Move Before Words, Jeong (情)     2026.03     Voting results : "Scenes that Remind Us of Korean 'Jeong'"   When we asked, “What scene comes to mind when you think of the Korean sentiment of Jeong?”, the most frequent answer was “sharing side dishes or kimchi” (48.8%). This result clearly shows that Korean Jeong is revealed not through grand words or declarations, but rather first through the consideration practiced quietly at the dining table. Warm words such as “Eat more” or “You like this, don't you?” are certainly important, but there are moments when the heart is delivered even more vividly. Small movements, such as the act of gently pushing a side dish bowl closer so someone can easily reach it with their chopsticks, the act of silently serving another portion of k...
