Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do

Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do Where bookstores bloom slow but steady   2021.07.05     Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do Province. It is trendy as it neighbors Seoul to the southeast and somehow tense as it faces the border area with North Korea. Gimpo, the newly emerging region of culture, can be found in the northwest part of Seoul. New bookstores are settling in recently in Gimpo as well. Also, its old town has turned into a cultural hot spot called "100th Street", where the 100-plus-years-old churches, schools, catholic churches, and markets can be found. In particular, the strong solidarity among bookstores has formed a community of their own. The Gimpo bookstores bonded together to create a co-op, working to become sustainable bookstores. Let’s take a look at newly established bookstores less than 1-year-old in Gimpo, where you can embrace the relaxing atmosphere in the suburban area of Seoul.   Views of “1...

BookTuber’s Pick: A Book to Chill Your Summer

BookTuber’s Pick: A Book to Chill Your Summer   2021.07.05     I’m taking an early summer vacation. It’s still June, but the ground heats up hot during the day and stays heated until night ? it is summer, and nobody can doubt it. Sitting out on the terrace, I hear grasshoppers chirping. And I start to think, why are summer nights so special? So many good memories were from summer nights. I once lay down inside a sleeping bag with my friend and exclaimed when we spotted a shooting star at the same time. Also, I remember the moment when my heart palpitated as I saw the sunrise on the way back home from a night movie ? it was also a summer night.I let my feelings take me over, smelling the misty droplets in the air. Thinking about how to spend this special time, I took out the book I brought from home. There is a rhino and a penguin putting their foreheads together on the cover of this thin book. The ...

Discussing the Current Status of Korean Picture Books

Discussing the Current Status of Korean Picture Books   2021.06.07   A visual language that captivates all generations   From the beginning of the 2000s, Korean picture books have been displaying a dramatic change in their identity, and it is even difficult to predict their next transformation. In the background was the growth of authors who have been honing their professional illustrating skills since the 1990s and the introduction of new authors in the field influenced by them. Also, the expansion of the readership has influenced the trend as generation Z has begun to recognize picture books as a new media. The most distinctive characteristic of Korean picture books is that there’s not only an increasing number of aesthetic aspects but also metaphoric and experimental attempts. Picture books with rich expressions and aesthetic mechanisms are becoming a new tool for communication that reaches all generations.   Picture books are growing their readership a...

Bookstores that Create Books and Culture

Bookstores that Create Books and Culture Places matured by books, for books, and with books   2021.03.08     Publishers and bookstores might be different in that publishers “make books” while bookstores “sell books,” but the common attribute of the two is that they give joy and helpful knowledge to people through books. This is the medium that connects publishers and bookstores, while it is a gift for readers. Meanwhile, the solidarity between independent publications and bookstores is notably stronger than any other. They contribute greatly to the spread of the cultural trend that respects individuals’ preferences, and unique characteristics as independent publications set the stage for their stories to be heard, and independent bookstores mature with their own unique color.As such, as the two pursue a common goal, more bookstores are carrying out publishing at the same time. Some of them publish books or magazines that embody the bookstore’s unique color. Some o...

Seoul International Book Fair 2020

Seoul International Book Fair 2020 New Attempts and Experiments in the Era of COVID-19   2020.12.07   Official poster of the Seoul International Book Fair   Early this year, the Seoul International Book Fair organizers had been busy preparing for the next fair set to be held in June as usual. However, as the first big wave of the pandemic crisis hit Korea in February and persisted into March and April, most cultural art events that amass a big audience had to be canceled or postponed until the second half of the year. As such, the SIBF could not be held in June, as unforeseeable circumstances curtailed the freedom of movement. It was also difficult to predict how the situation would change, so taking the event's original form and plans was a high risk. The Seoul International Book Fair 2020 had no other choice but to take on a new challenge. Physical isolation, non-contact, and online platforms accelerated the changes and made the Book Fair think of a new para...
