From YouTube to Books

Topic   From YouTube to Books   2023.09.04   It was common to find books written by YouTubers on bookstore shelves in Korea this year. It is a phenomenon that has been around for a couple of years now, when publishers realized that they could turn subscribers into readers, and quickly started to sign popular YouTubers as authors. Even if you have never heard of the channel before, it is not hard to tell that the book’s author runs a YouTube channel. This is because, among other things, the copy on the book’s cover, “YouTube channel ○○○ with 10 million total views,” emphasizes the author’s experience more than anything else. I have a YouTube channel with 130,000 subscribers, and my new book has never been without a copy like this.

Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity

One-Liner Quotes   Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity A Newly-Debuted Korean Novelist’s Pick   2023.09.04   Kim Ki-Tae has been publishing a number of short fiction stories depicting contemporary Korean society since he won the Dong-A Ilbo Shinchun Literary Prize in 2022. He is currently writing full-length novels based on world history.   The world is a jumbled mess, and humans cannot be explained by a single identity. I began to have a sense of this as I read Korean novels from the 1940s. From the mixed landscape at the end of the Japanese occupation to the rather abrupt independence and ideological conflict, the 1940s may be the most chaotic period in Korean history. The novels of this period portray human beings wandering in the midst of various crisscrossing powers.     Kim Nam-Cheon (1911-?) began his writing career in t...
