[INTERVIEW / KOREAN AUTHORS]

Korean Authors Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination 2025.10.02 Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun. It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...

Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Foreigner Living in Korea’s Pick 2022.07.04 Before coming to Korea for the first time about 5 years ago, I must admit I was not well-acquainted with Korean culture overall. I did see a couple of Korean movies and dramas, and I did become a fan of BTS’ music around the time Hallyu was shyly making its way into my country, Serbia. However, I have never read a single book by a Korean author prior to moving to Korea. The two books I would like to introduce today I thought to be uniquely marked with a deep sense of something specifically ‘Korean’, while at the same time, equally and as deeply reflecting the purest and deepest universal human values, and as such, I believe could evoke true empathy with readers anywhere around the globe. So far, the two books left the greatest, most profound impact on me throughout my years of living in Korea. When I first typed the word ‘Gwangju’ in the...

On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day, How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?

Topic On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day,How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day? 2022.06.07 Many say, “The greater discovery than finding a new continent or inventing electricity is coining the concept, children.” Before the concept was recognized, children were merely toys for their parents or tools to use as a means. The discovery of the concept of children is the biggest for Chosun as it did not know the existence of young people. - Bang Jeong-Hwan, A historical study of the Joseon juvenile movement, The Chosun Ilbo, 1929/1/4. The year 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Children’s Day in Korea. The Children’s Day Declaration, announced by Bang Jeong-Hwan in 1922, is recognized as the world’s first children’s human rights declaration announced even before the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child (the Geneva Declaration) in 1924, which was adopted by the League of Nation...

Writer Jung Dae-Gun

Korean Authors Writer Jung Dae-Gun Different in Form, Yet Always a “Story” 2025.09.04 Human language is generally used for two purposes: to convey information or to spread stories. Both have a profound impact on our lives. If the former is essential for survival and progress, the latter is indispensable for finding meaning in life. It is because our lives themselves become stories, and the empathy gained through them forms the basis for understanding others. The following is an interview with writer Jung Dae-Gun, who conveys this uniquely human language of empathy in diverse and distinctive styles. (Source: Kim Seo-Hae) It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers and introduce yourself briefly. Hello, I’m novelist Jung Dae-Gun. I once worked on documentary and feature films, but now I am fully devoted to writing novels. I’m...

Zeen Scene

Korean Publishers Zeen Scene The true essence of everyday moments hidden in authentic scenery 2025.08.04 When we encounter a rare or exceptional moment or scene, we often say, “I’ve encountered something authentic.” In a literal sense, it refers to something rarely seen, but when interpreted through emotion, the term conveys both delight and joy. Perhaps that’s why books from the publisher ‘True Scenery’ spark the curiosity of readers simply by their existence. Those who open the books may find themselves encountering the true essence of spaces, objects, and daily life. In this issue of K-Book Trends’ Korean Publishers, we spoke with Zeen Scene’s CEO, Kim Jin-Hee, about the reality she sees and how she hopes to convey it through her books. The logo of Zeen Scene It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please introduce to our international readers about...
