Modern Korean Art

Special Project   [Book × Art] Modern Korean Art   2023.12.04     By their very nature, books are vessels of knowledge encompassing all fields. Endless topics can be written about depending on the material and message. In the [Book × _____ ] series, experts recommend Korean books in their respective fields that you’ve been curious about but had trouble discovering more about. Now, let’s jump into the infinite world of books through the collaboration of books with various fields.     Until the end of the 19th century, Joseon was a nation unknown to most of the world. This is because it strictly limited its interactions with other countries, only sending envoys and emissaries to its neighbors, China and Japan. It was not until the 1880s that Joseon began to establish trade deals with the US and other Western nations in Europe. The country eventually became a colony of Japan in 1910, the victor of the ...

“Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable

Topic   “Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable   2023.04.03   Korea has risen from a poor country to a rich country with a per capita income of 30 thousand dollars in just half a century. With such an astonishing economic development upfront, many parts of society have been transforming rapidly. It’s no exception for families. Recently, there have been voices from parts of Korean society that the structure of the “family” should be re-engineered from the bottom. More books in the publishing market have begun to discuss the “restructuring of family.”   Changes in Gender Norms in Korean Society   Korean society has undergone rapid industrialization and urbanization in the 1960s and 70s. This spurred a fast transition from the traditional way of having big patriarchal families to nuclear families. However, nuclear families still had some patriarchal elements left, and men-focused gender roles were maintained. Also, while there was no sturdy s...

The “Healing Fiction” Fever

Topic   The “Healing Fiction” Fever Trending: Fiction With the Theme of Healing Space   2022.10.04   Because I work in a book review team in a press agency, I meet dozens of books every week. And, recently, novels with similar designs and colors caught my attention, and I collected them on one side of the office. Then, one day, one of my colleagues from another team came to say hello, saw the stacks, and asked, “What are they? Are they a series?” Oh, yes. They may appear to belong to the same series, as they are so similar - in terms of atmosphere, not context. Every book seems to be indistinguishable from the others. Their warm color tone, and the “thing.” They all have some “house” drawn on their covers. So, even though people say that this is the generation of non-book-readers, I thought that it was worthy enough to write an article about this phenomenon as there must be a reason for their commonality.In fact, articles about this trend have been around...

Looking Back on the 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022

Topic   Looking Back onthe 65th Seoul International Book Fair in 2022 From a Half Step to a Full Step   2022.08.01   In January 2020, the world slowly came to a stop. As people stopped moving around for fear of contaminating others with COVID-19, the speed and scale of people’s movement dwindled. Of course, that is what it seemed like from the surface. However, all living things never stop moving. Life is a vibrant movement. To stay alive, one has to rapidly absorb objects and energy from outside, consume them inside, and release them outside. One stops when not flowing. In other words, it might have seemed that the movement stopped from the outside, but the swirl of power coming from materials and energy grows stronger as the space they move in shrinks. Before that power breaks everything in the way, people must open up a path.For the past two years, the Seoul International Book Fair has tried to open up a small path for people who have stopped moving. Physical...

Topic   Publishing Industry Full of Consolation andSympathy in the Post-COVID-19 Era   2022.07.04   “Since my mother was not loved, I believed she would love more. Since my mother did not have anything, I thought she would fill someone’s heart more than others.

Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick   2022.07.04   Before coming to Korea for the first time about 5 years ago, I must admit I was not well-acquainted with Korean culture overall. I did see a couple of Korean movies and dramas, and I did become a fan of BTS’ music around the time Hallyu was shyly making its way into my country, Serbia. However, I have never read a single book by a Korean author prior to moving to Korea. The two books I would like to introduce today I thought to be uniquely marked with a deep sense of something specifically ‘Korean’, while at the same time, equally and as deeply reflecting the purest and deepest universal human values, and as such, I believe could evoke true empathy with readers anywhere around the globe. So far, the two books left the greatest, most profound impact on me throughout my years of living in Korea.     When I first typed the word ‘Gwangju’ in the...
