As such, Byungjahoran marks a watershed event in the...

It's not only textbooks/study books, but every book needed by the organization and they reach out to the publisher asking to publish their books.) from certain institutions, for example, collections of poetry or collections of literary studies. So Haru Publisher, which was founded in 2011, saw this as an opportunity, besides that the editors had a great interest in Korean culture.Our first book, So, I Married an Antifan (Terrace Books), was published in 2012.

Book Plant

Book Trip   [Celeb’s Book Spot ②] Book Plant Where Book Culture Flourishes   2023.03.13   More cultural spaces are emerging in Korea, centering around local bookstores. “Bookstores in your neighborhood” somehow sounds friendly. For book lovers, local bookstores are a nearby reading space that they can visit at any time at ease. For those that were not interested in books, they are an approachable reading place, which gives them a realization that reading is never something difficult. This month’s article introduces a neighborhood bookstore that is friendly to all, even those who have just begun reading books. Head of Book Plant, Kim So-Yeong set up a local bookstore after she quit working at a broadcast company that she’s been working for 5 years as a newscaster.

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...
