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...

Writer Kim Sang-Wook

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Sang-Wook A recommendation for a science book that all can enjoy, while retaining its essence   2022.01.03   Regardless of the sector, it is meaningful to lower the entry barrier to make it more accessible and give a sense of closeness to the general public. Books are great enablers in those efforts. It goes the same for science, which people often find challenging to approach. Let's suppose science is made more accessible and friendly through writings that take different approaches, closing the distance. In that case, people will find it fun to read science books. This is what writer Kim Sang-Wook tried as he broadens the horizon of science books based on his public awareness.     Would you please introduce yourself to the readers?   Hi, I am Kim Sang-Wook, a physicist.

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...
