Movie Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Movie Critic’s Pick   2022.01.03     Though Korean literature never won a Nobel Prize (I believe it is not a big deal), there are countless great pieces. Many literary works will deliver globally appealing stories as Koreans have gone through overwhelming events. Modern Korean history is full of incidents and has been written into works of literature thanks to the writers' efforts to reflect their experience of overcoming catastrophic events. Koreans experienced war, poverty, dictatorship, and the democratic movement in a short period. Hence, it is only natural for novelists to capture the times in their works.North and South (Moonji Publishing Company), written by Hong Sung-won, is one of the masterpieces that the world would recognize.

Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea

Topic   Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea   2021.12.06   Heightened interest in “publications for older readers” ahead of the post-aged society   The United Nations (UN) defines a society where people aged 65 and above account for more than 20% of the population as a "post-aged society." Based on this standard, Korea will be entering the post-aged society in 2025, four years from now, with the aged population accounting for 20.3% of the entire population. As of 2020, the proportion of citizens aged 65 and above was 15.7%. Still, agricultural regions with a higher percentage of the older population (Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Jeollabuk-do, and Gangwon-do) are already categorized as post-aged local societies. One of the reasons for Korea's rapid aging is the low birth rate, which is the lowest in the world.Compared to other major countries in the OECD, the relative poverty rate of Korea's aged population is high. According to the sta...

A Genre for All Generations: Young Adult

Special Project   A Genre for All Generations: Young Adult The evolution of fiction, scalable to different media   2021.12.06   The genre of fiction is limitless in its scope. Any source that can be narrated into an interesting story can turn into a novel. A particular genre that brought a new sensation to the publishing market, infusing energy into the fiction market, is YA (young adult). The genre of young adult, which was regarded as an off-mainstream genre in Korea as it did not have a distinct feature, has come to the center of the spotlight with various works. Young adult fiction refers to a type of fiction for all age groups, maximizing the fun of reading and often based on fantastical elements.
