Writer Min Ji Hyoung

Korean Authors   Writer Min Ji Hyoung Going beyond gender issues: the story of women’s love and life   2024.08.05   They say that fiction is a mirror of the times.

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. This saga was written in 1977 and showed the Korean war, the horrific fall of humans as a species, and the tenacious vitality that regenerates life as characters overcome ...

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...

Korean Authors   Writer Song Gil-Young A clear-cut forecast of the times provided by a man who “mines” the minds of the time   2024.07.01   One book published last year made headlines and became a bestseller. It is Forecast of the Times: Era of Nuclear Individuals (Kyobo Book Centre), which brought about a sensation by claiming that a new era of individuals called “nuclear individuals” has arrived due to the development of AI technologies and aging populations.

This book can be regarded as the extension of Just Don’t Do It (Book Stone) and Do Not Imagine (Book Stone), his previous titles offering advice for the future. Song...
