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...

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.

Writer So-yeon Park

Korean Authors   Writer So-yeon Park   2022.01.03     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, my name is So-yeon Park. I write and offer lectures for people who work. I have written various books including High Performers Know How to Stay Simple: Working Habits of Top Performers (GILBUT Publishers) and I am also the CEO of Mentor Grace.   Why did you become a writer?   I came to a turning point and asked myself whether I would like to move forward after 12 years of working for a company. My answer to the question previously would have been to stay at work without question, but when I was given the choice, I started to feel that I didn't want to be doing this for the next 5, 10, 20 years. So I wondered what kind of business I would be able to start without any capital, and then I thought that writing something and giving lectures based on the content would work out fairly well - that is why I became a writer.   Do you ha...

Writer Kim Lily

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Lily   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello. My name is Kim Lily, a children’s author as well as a rice cake shop owner who wrote My d’Artagnan (Changbi), Puff Snacks are Here (Munhakdongne), and Manbok’s Rice Cake Shop Series (BIR).   Did the memories from your childhood influence your works?   When I was young, I was a skinny, not pretty to look at, and not a bright girl. I think that is why I went through some difficult times. But whenever those times hit me, I survived by imagining things. At the time I remember desperately wishing for my wishes to come true. I do write many stories about wishes by reminiscing on those days.   Why did you dream of becoming a children’s book author?   I had this idea that a children’s book author is someone who ‘grows the flower garden of the imagination’. Since I had many siblings, I was sent to the countryside alone and spen...

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books   2020.11.02       Today, reading paper books has become just one of the many ways of enjoying books. Even though you don’t necessarily “bite or taste” the books like that famous advertisement phrase, you are able to enjoy books through various channels. In particular, the transformation of diverse media based on books began to lead the new generation where you “watch, listen to, and experience” books. Some people say that “texts will be replaced with videos in the new era,” but such transformation led by the development of platforms is live evidence that books are still more of an interesting or competitive medium than you might think. This is because a generation of videos without texts or books is like a castle built on sand.   Modern society has entered an era where you watch, listen to, and experience books.     Book-related TV Programs are Fading Away   “Book...
