Book Intro   Breathing a story into a dry, empty path.A story of bricks in the city sidewalk, with varying shapes and colors. Although the author brings the sidewalk’s life into a place, not of grand creation, but still just a simple path we walk on. Mundane things, a ball, a piece of grass, a cat, and a sewer cover are all things we usually see, but as the writer focuses on these objects, they become more than just objects, but characters with stories and life. The black-and-white pictures drawn with a scratchy pencil are like a potion that leads the reader on a story...

Forecast of the Times: The Emergence of Light Civilization

New Books   Forecast of the Times: The Emergence of Light Civilization The era when massive, heavy bodies become smaller and lighter   2025.10.02                     Since the Industrial Revolution, the mass production system that made producing more things at a faster pace, and the organizations that grew as large as the technology itself, have defined the “heavy civilization” that dominated our society for the past 200 years. However, with the advent of AI, the diligent and hardworking life has become the very symbol of inefficiency. Now, it is not the size or weight of the economy that matters, but the speed of response to change. This is because humans can never match the speed and productivity of AI.   “The people of this planet, who maintained competitiveness by sleeping less, working harder, and pushing further than others, are now beginning to feel powerless.” - from the book   Fo...

Publishing Industry   Marketing in Korean Bookstores:Recovered Editions & Book-funding Faster and unlike anyone else   2023.12.04         “Faster and unlike anyone else” - this is a phrase from a popular Korean song. No item is exempt from this rule, but it is a hot topic in the Korean publishing and distribution market. Because of the fixed book price system, price competition among retailers is impossible in Korea. Shipping competition, which was fierce in the early days of online bookstores, has also faded.

Competition for merchandise is still fierce but less so than before for various reasons, including readers’ fatigue with merchandise and rising production costs. So, how can bookstores promote their books “faster and unlike anyone else”...
