[TREND / ONE-LINER QUOTES]

One-Liner Quotes Copyright Agent’s Pick 2022.09.05 As a copyright agent working at the forefront of the copyright business, there is a unique “sense” that years of experience give you. It would be great to give a clear definition for that sense, but as you know, senses are difficult to explain logically. For content to be loved by global citizens crossing the linguistic and geological barriers, a number of elements have to be at play. Among the many elements, if I were to pick only two, I would choose “universal,” and “unique.” Content that has a universally understood story and a specialty differentiated from existing content is highly likely to be loved by readers around the world across borders. Cheon Seon-Ran is the author that I’m particularly paying attention to as a copyright agent. Her book A Thousand Blues (East-Asia Publishing Co.), whi...

Storyseller

Korean Publishers Storyseller A storyteller who delivers unique experiences to the public 2025.10.02 Just as words have power, a name that is spoken often should not only convey identity and vision but also carry a positive meaning. What if we employed homonyms, words with multiple meanings? Such a name, open to diverse interpretations depending on context and intent, also carries a sense of wit and delight. Storyseller (이야기장수; Iyagijangsu), founded by Lee Yeon-Sil, one of Korea’s most celebrated editors, fills its books with stories as diverse and engaging as the word jangsu (장수), a term that itself carries multiple meanings, including “seller.” More than just selling stories, Storyseller seeks to reach readers everywhere, sharing life stories that are ordinary yet one of a kind.

Writer Seo Hyun

Korean Authors Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination 2025.10.02 Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun. It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...
