A New Joy Found in Daejeon - Tiny Bookstores

A New Joy Found in Daejeon - Tiny Bookstores 2019.11.04 When chatting about traveling through cities in South Korea, Daejeon is almost never mentioned because of the lack of content worth noting aside from the fact that it lies right in the center of the Korean peninsula. One would also be doing themselves a favor by not recalling the Daejeon Expo from 1993, because they would be giving away how old they are. The story becomes different if the objective of your travels becomes narrower - specifically if the objective is books. A quiet place for quiet voices - Cloud Bookshop / Gumo Cafe We tend to fill the bookcase with books that may be liked by people who prefer quiet spaces. About two years ago, a small bookstore opened its doors in Dong-gu, Dae-dong in Daejeon. You could find it tucked away in a neighborhood with low, aged walls between houses. The owner of that bookstore...

South Korea's budding publishing experts

South Korea's budding publishing experts 2018.01 University education inside South Korea to create experts in the publishing industry peaked in the 1990s. This was reflected in how even regional universities outside the capital area created new majors for this purpose while more than 10 two-year community colleges also did the same. There were also several locations that used the title "electronic publishing". Currently there is only one four-year university that has a publishing related major(Semyung University) and two two-year colleges(Shingu College, Seoil University). In today's modern world where job education is key, the number of majors at universities might as well be a barometer for how successful that field is. And this change shows well how things have greatly changed from 20 years ago when there was a surge of those working in the publishing industry. On the other hand, there is a need to note not many publishers require their workers to ...

Interview with author Soon-won Lee

Interview with author Soon-won Lee Pure Korean Literature, Shining Lyricism 2017.11.01 Works by novelist Soon-won Lee are pure, traditional and nature-centric. He has lived some 30 years as a novelist and his writing at times has been published in textbooks or produced into short television films. His works, known for their deep Korean narratives, are now garnering attention overseas. There is a saying that the most traditional things are usually the most global, which would explain why his pure, Korean writing has been gaining interest outside of the country. We spoke to the novelist on his recently exported the whale who returned to the sea, where he gets his inspiration from, what Korean literature needs now and going forward among other things. KPIPA We are delighted to feature you on our webzine. Could you introduce yourself for our readers? Soon-won Lee Hello, I am Korean novelist Soon-won Lee.
