Advanced Korea: Finding the Right Path for Society

Special Project   Advanced Korea: Finding the Right Path for Society   2021.11.01   Korea has become the 9th largest economic powerhouse in the world. It has shown its enhanced reputation as a special guest at the G7 hosted by the United Kingdom. There is also the prospect that the G7 will add more members to become the G10. Korea, which has built economic strength at a rapid pace, driving industrial and economic progress, has become an advanced country. However, Korea's reputation as an advanced nation goes further than economic power. All varieties of the Korean Wave showing Korean culture, such as the Oscar winning film "Minari" and BTS sweeping the charts, are captivating the world. Also, the Korean public showed a high-level of democracy through the candlelight demonstration.

Writer Minha

Korean Authors   Writer Minha May you find strength and encouragement through picture books   2024.02.19   The 2023 Korea Picture Book Award chose K-picture books that will represent Korea to the world. Among the many winners, my eyes were drawn to a book that showed off unique ideas with a distinctly Korean touch. The book A Round of Tightrope Walking (Gloyeon) won the grand prize in the non-fiction category. As we read A Round of Tightrope Walking, which incorporates various elements of picture books and realistically depicts tightrope walking, we couldn’t help but smile as we imagined how excited children would be to read this book. Minha, the writer, creates a different kind of fun that goes far beyond the limits of books and paper. And since Minha says that picture books are like a shelter for her, we think her readers can also imagine and rest as much as they want through her books. Following is an interview with Minha, who continues to wri...
