Book Trip   [Celeb’s Book Spot ⑥] Hahn Moo-Sook House Following the Footsteps of a Celebrity who Lived 100 Years Ago   2023.07.03     Hahn Moo-Sook, one of the representative writers in Korea   A celebrity refers to someone so famous that everyone wants to be like them or someone that sets the newest trends. Writer Hahn Moo-Sook, who lived in the modern era of the 1900s, was the person closest to the definition of the word “celebrity” back then, when such a word was unfamiliar to the public. She made her debut in 1942, when the Japanese occupation of Korea was almost at an end, with her novel A Woman With a Lamp. Her representative works include And So Flows History, which became famous after it was adapted into a drama on KBS, as well as Steps of the Light, Tales of the House of the Pomegranate, and Encounter. The book Encounter, in particular, won the grand prize of the Korean Literary Award in 1986, and was then translated...

Export Case   The Marketing Strategy forthe Chinese Version of The Mummy Book A Korean picture book sold more than 30K copies in a year:What was its secret to touching the hearts of Chinese moms?   2023.06.05   I remember the day I first opened the book, The Mummy Book (Korean publisher: Woongjin ThinkBig, Simplified Chinese Version Title: 我的?? (My Mom)), during the planning meeting deciding whether to publish it. On the sky blue cover, there was a round-faced young girl with curiosity all over her face, and its smooth feeling brought me back to the desk as I returned from work. I soon fell into the story. The book’s first page shows a mother and “I” lying silent on a bed and starts with a sentence that says, “A mom was born as I was born.” The beginning of the book leads readers on an adventure observing a mother from a young girl’s point of view.Many picture books under the theme of mother, such as Anthony Browne’s My Mum, a Chinese classic children’s...

Japanese Translator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Japanese Translator’s Pick   2023.06.05     There’s a place that I go to whenever the spring comes after the winter. It’s my mom and dad’s graves, who passed away quite a long time ago. The graves are barren and desolate, showing how cold it was last winter. The grass has turned yellow, the leaves are thickly piled, and there are even holes made in the ground by animals from the mountain. But it’s a relief that the tall pines and yew trees surrounding the graves are green. Basking in the spring breeze, I wipe down the headstones with a mop, rake leaves with a pitchfork, firmly step on dry grass, and startle, like usual. It’s because there are fluffy balls ? pasqueflowers ? everywhere. Blooming one step ahead of the winter, pasqueflowers were bending their purple heads down.And a scene comes to mind. It’s the childhood of the two daughters. Whenever the two daughters, who have now become adult...
