Suncheon, Jeollanam-do

Suncheon, Jeollanam-do A Place Full of Peace and Literature   2020.12.07       Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, boasts a God-given natural landscape where the mountains, sea, and lakes make a beautiful mixture. With people calling the region "sogangnam (meaning the second Gangnam in Chinese, which refers to the prosperous region on the southern Yangzi river), the city, nature, and people live in peaceful harmony. The Jeolla Line and Gyeongjeon Line railroads cross to connect Youngnam and Honam regions, making Suncheon a popular tourist site for many people. Writer Kim Seung-Ok described Suncheon and Suncheonman Bay as the "utopia in Korea" in his book Mujingihaeng.

Let's take a look at the gem hidden in Suncheon, where the beautiful natural scenery makes a perfect blend with excellent cuisine and people.     Enlightened Suncheon: Book Support Project Suncheon City ...

K-MUSIC

K-MUSIC K-MUSIC, the World-Class Music that has Fascinated the World   2020.11.02       You may not have heard of it at all, but no one listens to it just once. That is what they say about K-Music. Addictive melodies, romantic lyrics, and the spicing-up effects and perfect dance movements of K-Music make you feel like you have received a gift filled with stories. As such, Korean music goes beyond being just a piece of “music” that you listen to where melodies and instrumental sounds make a simple mixture; it has a more profound meaning as “general art” that combines bountiful visual contents and colorful performances. Let’s look at how the artists and K-Music have caught the eyes of the world with the most “Korean” music across generations and genres including traditional music, dance, ballad, hip-hop, trot (known for its use of repetitive rhythm and vocal inflections), and opera from the standpoint of the publishing industry.     Globally fanatic ...

Writer Kim Lily

Korean Authors   Writer Kim Lily   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello. My name is Kim Lily, a children’s author as well as a rice cake shop owner who wrote My d’Artagnan (Changbi), Puff Snacks are Here (Munhakdongne), and Manbok’s Rice Cake Shop Series (BIR).   Did the memories from your childhood influence your works?   When I was young, I was a skinny, not pretty to look at, and not a bright girl. I think that is why I went through some difficult times. But whenever those times hit me, I survived by imagining things. At the time I remember desperately wishing for my wishes to come true. I do write many stories about wishes by reminiscing on those days.   Why did you dream of becoming a children’s book author?   I had this idea that a children’s book author is someone who ‘grows the flower garden of the imagination’. Since I had many siblings, I was sent to the countryside alone and spen...

Writer Park Yeon-jun

Korean Authors   Writer Park Yeon-jun   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, my name is Park Yeon-jun. I write poems and prose, and now I am writing novels, too.   Why did you decide to become a writer?   I think I have always loved stories since I was young. That is why I was interested in writing, reading, and listening to others. Among those, I found that reading interested me the most and I think that led me to become a writer.   What do you think is the most important thing when you write?   The reason empathy is vital is that you need to think from the perspective of a chair when you are writing a poem. Not how men would view an ordinary chair. The sadness and the form of the chair from its perspective; the people who stay for a while and leave the chair must think about various ideas like how the chair would feel. Even things in this studio, these small cables, lights, three of you sitting...

Writer Yi Hyeon

Korean Authors   Writer Yi Hyeon   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, My name is Yi Hyeon, author of children’s books and youth novels. Nice to meet you.   Why do you write youth novels?   People often talk about middle schoolers’ 'puberty', 'youth', and 'the young generation' as if they were disorders, and always look at the young in such a way. Also, there seems to be a tendency to generalize about young people. Such is the world of youth. So, I wanted to write youth’s stories. That's also why I have recently been meeting with some students.   Do you remember any young adults?   I heard the “dating story” of a child in the third year of high school. It was a love story that hadn’t yet started. I listened and I was thrilled. And through his concerns he showed different thoughts. It was very nice to see the way he is being nurtured and developed.   How do you decide the story for your...

ACHIMDAL BOOKS

Korean Publishers   ACHIMDAL BOOKS Never Changing Literary Value Rises Radiantly and Brightly   2021.11.01   Literature is a genre with deep roots in the publishing market, but there is an increasing number of cases where the genre is excluded from the mainstream. On top of this, there aren’t too many literature publishers that completely fulfill their roles properly. In a reality like this, we cannot help but approve of ACHIMDAL BOOKS for fulfilling its role as a publisher of literature and continuing to make efforts, including the expansion of opportunities for poems, essays, and other works of literature to be published. Although it is a small publisher, there seems to be a light that shines with the rapid advancement of ACHIMDAL BOOKS, which works to broaden the literature base by searching for new ways of publishing literature in a clever way.   Logo of ACHIMDAL BOOKS   Please tell foreign publishers what ACHIMDAL BOOKS does and what mean...

Author-illustrator Kim Sang Keun

Korean Authors   Author-illustrator Kim Sang Keun   2021.11.01     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, it is nice to meet you. My name is Kim Sang Keun. I am an illustrator as well as a writer.   What kind of person do you think an author is?   A picture book illustrator is an “Eoreune”. “Eoreune” is a compound word meaning adult and child. In English, it is “Kidult”. The reason for my answer is that both my childhood as well as my adulthood are present in myself. I think it is the subject closest to “Eoreune”.   Do you have a specific reason for deciding to pursue the study of animation?   Throughout my childhood, I tended to encounter cartoons and animation when I watched television. At that time, I liked and earnestly watched shows such as Disney Cartoon Series and other entertaining TV programs in the evening. I would draw the characters and watch the recorded version over and over again when I was ...
