Professor of Korean Language and Literature & Literary Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Professor of Korean Language andLiterature & Literary Critic’s Pick 2023.07.03 There are two poetry books that I read often - Baengnokdam by Jeong Ji-Yong (included in Full Collection of Jeong Ji-Yong 1: Poem (Minumsa)) and Sky, Wind, and Stars (Yonsei University Press) by Yoon Dong-Ju. The poems in these two books demonstrate the depth of linguistic expression and breadth of poetic emotion. The poem collection Baengnokdam by Jeong Ji-Yong was first published by Munjangsa (文章社) in 1941. The collection includes 25 poems, including Jangsusan (長壽山), Baengnokdam, Birobong (毘盧峰), Chunseol (春雪), Sogok (小曲), Star, and Glass Window 1, as well as 8 pieces of prose.The moderate emotion and symmetrical beauty of language in Jeong’s poetry almost reach their peak in the poem collection Baengnokdam. In particular, included pieces like Jangsusan or Baengnokdam exclude any dynamic e...

The Marketing Strategy for the Chinese Version of The Mummy Book

Export Case The Marketing Strategy forthe Chinese Version of The Mummy Book A Korean picture book sold more than 30K copies in a year:What was its secret to touching the hearts of Chinese moms? 2023.06.05 I remember the day I first opened the book, The Mummy Book (Korean publisher: Woongjin ThinkBig, Simplified Chinese Version Title: 我的妈妈 (My Mom)), during the planning meeting deciding whether to publish it. On the sky blue cover, there was a round-faced young girl with curiosity all over her face, and its smooth feeling brought me back to the desk as I returned from work. I soon fell into the story. The book’s first page shows a mother and “I” lying silent on a bed and starts with a sentence that says, “A mom was born as I was born.” The beginning of the book leads readers on an adventure observing a mother from a young girl’s point of view.Many picture books under the theme of mother, such as Anthony Browne’s My Mum, a Chinese classic children...

Japanese Translator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Japanese Translator’s Pick 2023.06.05 There’s a place that I go to whenever the spring comes after the winter. It’s my mom and dad’s graves, who passed away quite a long time ago. The graves are barren and desolate, showing how cold it was last winter. The grass has turned yellow, the leaves are thickly piled, and there are even holes made in the ground by animals from the mountain. But it’s a relief that the tall pines and yew trees surrounding the graves are green. Basking in the spring breeze, I wipe down the headstones with a mop, rake leaves with a pitchfork, firmly step on dry grass, and startle, like usual. It’s because there are fluffy balls – pasqueflowers – everywhere. Blooming one step ahead of the winter, pasqueflowers were bending their purple heads down.And a scene comes to mind. It’s the childhood of the two daughters. Whenever the two daughters, who have now become adu...

“Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable

Topic “Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable 2023.04.03 Korea has risen from a poor country to a rich country with a per capita income of 30 thousand dollars in just half a century. With such an astonishing economic development upfront, many parts of society have been transforming rapidly. It’s no exception for families. Recently, there have been voices from parts of Korean society that the structure of the “family” should be re-engineered from the bottom. More books in the publishing market have begun to discuss the “restructuring of family.” Changes in Gender Norms in Korean Society Korean society has undergone rapid industrialization and urbanization in the 1960s and 70s. This spurred a fast transition from the traditional way of having big patriarchal families to nuclear families. However, nuclear families still had some patriarchal elements left, and men-focused gender roles were maintained. Also, while there was no sturdy s...

Gen MZ writers, such as Choi Eun-Yung, Chung Se-Rang, Jang Ryu-Jin, Park Sang-Young, Kim Cho-Yeop, and Cheon Seon-Ran, are highlighted as the future of Korean literature.
