One-Liner Quotes   Korean Food Critic’s Pick Korea's Food Books   2022.02.14     Food is the mirror of the past and present. Trending foods show the era's social structure and direction. Luxurious sushi restaurants that boast high popularity are often located in the Gangnam area. This shows Koreans' love of sushi but also disconnection from ties with Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Export Case   The Korean Book Importing Success Story of AST, a Russian Publisher The Weakest Spirit in the World by Kim Dong-sik   2022.01.03   The story behind the Russian edition of The Weakest Spirit in the World (Yodabooks) by Kim Dong-sik is not very common for a commercial publisher. Still, I hope it could help small and niche imprints that prefer building long-lasting relations with their readers to a hit-and-run strategy.   Cover of The Weakest Spirit in the World, Russian edition     At Lingua, we predominantly publish textbooks, dictionaries, etc., for those learning foreign languages.

Movie Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Movie Critic’s Pick   2022.01.03     Though Korean literature never won a Nobel Prize (I believe it is not a big deal), there are countless great pieces. Many literary works will deliver globally appealing stories as Koreans have gone through overwhelming events. Modern Korean history is full of incidents and has been written into works of literature thanks to the writers' efforts to reflect their experience of overcoming catastrophic events. Koreans experienced war, poverty, dictatorship, and the democratic movement in a short period. Hence, it is only natural for novelists to capture the times in their works.North and South (Moonji Publishing Company), written by Hong Sung-won, is one of the masterpieces that the world would recognize. This saga was written in 1977 and showed the Korean war, the horrific fall of humans as a species, and the tenacious vitality that regenerates life as characters overcome ...

People’s heightened interest and expectations ? or perhaps concerns ? about the candidates seem to be reflected in the books. For example, Yoon Seok-Youl X File, which topped the bestsellers’ list of four major bookstores’ online markets, is a book that verifies candidate Yoon based on factual grounds.
