It is “Pachinko,” a drama produced by Apple TV+ in the US. Taking a painful moment in history as background, it tells the story of Koreans who immigrated to Japan. The drama is based on an original novel with the same title written by Lee Min-Jin, a Korean living in the US, whose work has become a bestseller chosen by New York Times in 2017. The growing popularity of this weekly drama has made the Pachinko series rank 1st and 2nd in all four major online bookstores in Korea. Beginning with the sentence, “The history has ruined us all, but it doesn’t matter,” Pachinko narrates the lives of Koreans who immigrated to Japan, who could not blend with the locals and belonged nowhere.

Professor Lim Jie-Hyun’s Realistic and Reflective View on Korean History

Special Project [Korean Scholars ④] Professor Lim Jie-Hyun’s Realistic andReflective View on Korean History The New Paradigm is a Nation-state Developing into a Desirable Society 2022.04.04 History does not stop progressing. It moves forward to the future as it passes through the present. History repeats itself and develops while various factors, situations, and positions of each nation entangle. It is natural for the historical paradigm to become diverse and change as it applies different judgments and value standards. Therefore, the view on history needs to progress in the right direction while embracing diversity and maintaining its realistic attitude. The opinions on history are getting more complicated with globalization. Professor Lim Jie-Hyun leads us to a new range of discussion on history with comprehensive and connective thinking and reasoning as a historian and commentator. His writings, which sharply criticize historical discou...

Korean Book Designer’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Korean Book Designer’s Pick 2022.04.04 The book Self-respect Persons (Eotteonchaeg) is the second title by Kim Ji-Soo after, The Philosophers of Their Own Lives (Eotteonchaeg), which was the first interview collection of “Kim Ji-Soo’s Interstellar,” an interview series read by more than 2 million people since 2015.As a designer, I receive book design requests pretty often. I get to meet books of various fields, and most of the time, I am the first to take a look at the raw manuscript as I have to make a design that best suits the story. I know that a rough look through the book and reading the story thoroughly are different, but sometimes I feel like the story is mine even though I lightly flip through the pages during the designing process.

“Illness Narratives” A Detailed Reflection of our Society

Topic “Illness Narratives”A Detailed Reflection of our Society 2022.02.14 The center of our body is not the heart.It’s the spot we feel pain when we are sick. This is a phrase from the poem I, Stand There written by Park No-Hae. In fact, we all get restless even when a small spinule is stuck under the fingernail. Needless to say, if we feel pain in some area of our body, that spot becomes the center of our body, getting all the focus. Every human being sometimes gets sick to a different degree. Even for someone who has never caught a cold, there must be a time they get sick due to perhaps aging, which is a natural process for our body. It is not a curse word, but all human beings have no choice but to go through sickness and healing, and through which, they gradually grow into a mature person. (could be harmed, of course.) In that process, the sickness, or disease, at the center of your life creates a story of its own kind that is often made into ...
