Special Project   K-Fantasy We Invite You to a Special Universe that No One's Ever Dreamed of   2021.09.06   "If I had magic..." Everybody must have imagined becoming a magician as a child. We make so many unrealistic things possible thanks to the imagination. We fly through the sky, and we walk under the sea. Korean fantasy began to flourish when computers and the Internet began to be distributed across the country in the mid-1990s.

In Korea, summer beings in June and lasts until August. The scorching sunlight could blind us, but most Koreans long for summer throughout the year.

Discussing the Current Status of Korean Picture Books

Discussing the Current Status of Korean Picture Books   2021.06.07   A visual language that captivates all generations   From the beginning of the 2000s, Korean picture books have been displaying a dramatic change in their identity, and it is even difficult to predict their next transformation. In the background was the growth of authors who have been honing their professional illustrating skills since the 1990s and the introduction of new authors in the field influenced by them. Also, the expansion of the readership has influenced the trend as generation Z has begun to recognize picture books as a new media. The most distinctive characteristic of Korean picture books is that there’s not only an increasing number of aesthetic aspects but also metaphoric and experimental attempts. Picture books with rich expressions and aesthetic mechanisms are becoming a new tool for communication that reaches all generations.   Picture books are growing their readership a...

3rd Week, June 2021 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2021.07.05   One book topped the bestseller lists of four major online bookstores in Korea in the third week of June 2021. It is Cho Kuk’s Time, written by Cho Kuk, former Senior Secretary to the President for Civil Affairs. It includes outspoken stories about political affairs he experienced during his term in office. It seems that readers’ curiosity towards the candid feelings of Cho Kuk surrounding several disputes has been the driving factor for its rising popularity. Other books about politics and society joined the bestsellers’ list as well. For example, Illusion of Correction is a book written by “The Guy Who Reads Youtube,” one of the major Youtube channels that introduced Jordan Peterson, the famous writer of Beyond Order, to Korea. It has been gaining great sympathy from male readers in their 20s with stories about the era where the real and fake are mixed up in chaos.Non-fic...
