A Doctor’s “Health Book” on Diagnosis and Care for What Ails Korean Society Today

One-Liner Quotes   A Doctor’s “Health Book” on Diagnosis andCare for What Ails Korean Society Today Healthy Bookstore Manager’s Pick   2024.07.01   Kim Min-Jung is the manager of “11ho1,” a “healthy bookstore” where you can discover and exchange thoughts about health in everyday life.   “I see the limitations of modern medicine almost every day as a physician. No matter how advanced medical science gets, it will never be omnipotent.” This is the story of an 80-year-old practicing physician I met in a bookstore a few years ago. It was somewhat surprising to hear a senior doctor with nearly 60 years of clinical and research experience at a medical school comment on the limitations of modern medicine. It was not only that: many of the doctors I met through books in my bookstore were concerned with narratives that extend beyond numbers, towards society outside the small clinic. That is how I came to realize that our health and healthy...

In Search of a Garden Where Our Beautiful Korean Language Breathes

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ②] In Search of a Garden Where Our BeautifulKorean Language Breathes Introducing Sonagi Village at Hwang Sun-won, Literary Housein Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and Beyond   2024.06.03   The works of Hwang Sun-Won have a solid presence in Korean literature. The literary world he has built transcends time, genre, and ideology, naturally expressing the most Korean emotions. It was around 1952, when Korea was undergoing the Korean War, when his representative short story Rain Shower (read Sonagi in Korean) was released. However, it is difficult to recognize such a period from the portrayal of the two main characters in the novel. The only clue that connects the story to reality is the place name “Yangpyeong” that appears at the end. The thoughts that germinated in this place became the driving force for creating a literary space, and it led to new attempts to reinterpret the work in various ways.The Sonagi Village in the Hwa...

Celebrating 20 Years of Jecheon Miracle Library, a True Gift to Korea

Knowledge   Celebrating 20 Years of Jecheon Miracle Library,a True Gift to Korea   2024.06.03   In Korea, there is a “Miracle Library,” which is the one and only in the world   In the early 2000s, children were particularly marginalized in Korea, especially in terms of library services. At that time, the “Miracle Library Project” began as a social concern to address the reality of children in our society who, due to poverty, social indifference, other unfortunate conditions, and the misguided greed of adults, were deprived of their right to grow up freely. In other words, the project was born out of the recognition of the need for libraries dedicated to children as the best possible environment for their creative growth by ensuring their right to grow up freely and broadening the equality of opportunity.The Miracle Library Project, a nationwide initiative to build libraries exclusively for children, was a collaborative effort of citizen...

Which Foreign Books Did Korean Readers Choose in 2025?

    Best Sellers   Which Foreign Books Did Korean Readers Choose in 2025?     2026.02     "Interest in Korean fiction" is an indispensable phrase when explaining recent publishing trends in Korea. Thanks to the halo effect of Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature win in 2024, Korean novels swept the top spots on the comprehensive bestseller lists last year. The slump in non-fiction books, driven by the commercialization of generative artificial intelligence (AI), also played a significant role. The prevailing view in the industry is that the surge in Korean fiction—and Korean literature at large—is a "butterfly effect" resulting from the contraction of the local non-fiction market, a sector traditionally dominated by renowned foreign authors rather than domestic ones. However, this situation may present a unique opportuni...

The Bird That Drinks Tears, Flying Around the World

Export Case   The Bird That Drinks Tears, Flying Around the World   2024.05.07   Sometimes, a project comes across your desk as an editor that immediately catches your eye. Maybe it’s the title, or the author, or the pitch that was written to suck you in. With The Bird That Drinks Tears (Minumsa Publishing), it was definitely the latter for me, specifically the idea of “the Korean Lord of the Rings.”Okay?that got my attention. Diving into the manuscript, then, I was blown away by the depth of the world and how fascinating the characters were. And yet, while Lee Young-do is certainly a Tolkien in breadth and spirit, he’s also distinctly Korean in the best possible way. This wasn’t just another Western fantasy retread, but a purely new read for me, and that was exciting. The “if you haven’t read it before, it’s new to you” vibe was strong, and I found myself sucked into the narrative.   Korean edition o...
