From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature

Topic   From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature   2023.08.07   Korean mystery literature originated in the unique conditions of the Japanese occupation. Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918. Most of the works serialized in newspapers at the time were re-translations of works by Ruiko Kuriowa, a Japanese author of adapted novels.

Travelers Return After COVID-19

Topic   Travelers Return After COVID-19   2023.06.05   The trend of travel books in Korea before and after COVID-19   After the Korean government lifted the bar for overseas travel in 1989, the major driver behind the growth of the travel book market in the 1990s was guidebooks, which mainly delivered information about the destination country.

Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Illustrator’s Pick   2023.03.13     There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...
