Books Loved Across Generations: Korean Steady Sellers

Knowledge   Books Loved Across Generations: Korean Steady Sellers   2025.04.07   Bestseller lists reflect the issues of the times and the interests of readers. You can get a glimpse into readers’ thoughts and interests by looking at why a book gained traction. On the other hand, steady sellers are not only reflective of the times, like bestsellers, but they have the power to transcend time. A steady seller refers to a book that goes beyond just being a trend, and has a long-lasting lifespan through the power of its story. There are many books that become overnight bestsellers simply because they are written by popular authors with a fandom, or because they are endorsed by influencers. However, steady sellers are the ones that stay with readers across time. These books have stood the test of time and are more than just a fad; they resonate with readers and deliver a deeper message about life.

How New Writers Are Discovered in Korea: Shinchunmunye, Literary Awards, and Newly Emerging Pathways

Topic   How New Writers Are Discovered in Korea:Shinchunmunye, Literary Awards, and Newly Emerging Pathways   2025.03.10   At the award ceremony of shinchunmunye (annual spring literary contest), one of Korea’s representative systems for recognizing new writers, there is always a “congratulatory speech” delivered by the judges (mostly novelists, sometimes literary critics) to the winners. As a former literary reporter for a newspaper and then head of the Department of Culture, I have observed that every year, no matter who the judges are, there is always a certain message to the winners. Although you never can tell the future, I’m sure the same will also be true for next year’s shinchunmunye. The specific words vary by judge, but if I were to make it up, it would go something like this (which, of course, doesn’t even come close to the beautiful and moving words of the judges).   “Congratulations, you are now a writer. You mu...

Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ③] Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders   2025.03.10       Berlin was a city divided into East and West by the Berlin Wall during the Cold War. For Koreans, it is also a place they feel an emotional connection to as they share the same history of division.

Stretching a whopping 1,316 meters long, it is the world’s largest open-air gallery - 108 artists from 21 countries drew 105 paintings on the wall in 1990 with messages of peace, unity, and opposition to war. Once a symbol of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall has now become a symbol of hope and freedom, a new Berlin landmark and a must-see tourist attraction that has touched and inspired many people.Berlin is a city that draws young travelers from al...
