Round Ground

Round Ground Where dreams of a world full of well-rounded lives exist   2019.10.07   How does play begin? There are times when one ponders whether play has turned into learning. So much educational material and the media rarely think twice about directing children how to play, and caregivers are always eager to lead and interfere when children play. One may think there are right and wrong ways to play, but play will always be play. Playing is enough when it's enjoyed no matter the process, with fun materials and tools. Everything the eye can see, whether it be tree leaves, bubbles, passersby or the house you live in, can be materials for play or even play itself if it's visible and tangible. Children are aware of this joyful fact more than anyone else, and Round Ground is the place where that fun for children is raised to another level.     Even just listening to the name Round Ground is fun. What meaning does the name Round Ground carry? Could you also introduce y...

Writer Lim Hong-Tek

Writer Lim Hong-Tek Understanding the “generation (age)” in the “generation (era)”   2020.04.06   One book created multiple discourses and discussions, shaking the market for more than a year after making a meteor-like debut in the sluggish Korean publishing market. It is People Born in the 90s are Coming (Whalebooks, 2018) written by author Lim Hong-Tek. Now, what is this “born in the 90s” concept that made Korean society have such a great interest in the book and those born in the 90s? Let’s take a more in-depth look at the stories surrounding the work.     It’s been already more than a year since People Born in the 90s are Coming was published, but the people born in the 90s are still a hot issue. Reflecting the influence of the book, do you think that we are now free from a world in which anyone can become a “ggondae” (usually a middle-aged person who tries to use authority and power to lead people instead of humane influence)? &nb...

Hey Uhm

Hey Uhm Joyful Swimming in the Vast Sea of the Publishing Industry   2020.03.02   Publisher Hey Uhm   There was a writer that would “directly sell” her writing to readers through Social Media. It is the story of writer Lee Seula, who came up with a clever idea to continue securing stable finance through writing. This fresh approach shocked the publishing industry which sparked little changes to take place. And writer Lee Seula, the one that ignited the changes, set up Hey Uhm to create books she wants. Writing a story and making a book. They are different in many aspects by nature except one thing that they are all for readers. Still, many questions arose regarding the publisher that was born with a bold decision and its founder.   Writer Lee Seul-ah, founder of Publisher Hey Uhm ⓒ Ryu Han-kyung   The name of the company, Hey Uhm, is unique. What does the name “Hey Uhm” imply?   “Hey Uhm” is a pure Korean word that means “to swim.” The feeling I...

Author Serang Chung

Author Serang Chung A charming author and her fascinating story   2020.03.02   Is there anything more exciting than imagination?

She is someone that has boundless imagination. Besides, the world she created makes not only herself but everyone joyful. So her imagination brought to reality through letters is now turning into a video, going beyond paper books.

Humanist Books

Humanist Books Spreading wide, deep knowledge and culture   2017.10.10   Recently, I set out to conduct an interview with Seo-hyeon Hwang, executive editor at Humanist Books. After setting out from Hongik Univ. Station and finding my way through the narrow paths of Yeonnam-dong, passing by several pretty cafes with outdoor seating, I found myself before a gray, modern building. The word "Humanist" can plainly be seen on one side of the building. After stepping into the coffee shop on the first floor and making my way down a set of stairs I discovered books Humanist has published, all organized neatly.From the basement to the top, the floors of the building are well connected, like water flowing. From the outside it is clearly a building with sharp angles, but the interior everything fits perfectly. I randomly lift my head in the center of the building and the open ceiling lends a view of the blue sky above.I think to myself, 'This is a quite human building'. From the exterio...
