Nonsan-si, located in the hinterland of Chungcheongnam-do, is home to many cultural heritage sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Donam Seowon, Jonghagdang, and Myeongjae Historic House. There are also many other attractions, such as the beautiful Ganggyeong Port, which still retains traces of its prosperity through the years of modernization, and Tapjeong Reservoir and Suspension Bridge, where you can experience the feeling of walking on a lake.

Since K-Book Trends targets a global audience, we have been thinking about how to connect with readers in different countries.

Topic   Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era andthe Compass of the Heart   2024.12.02   The rise of Korean poetry and its global takeoff   There have been a number of “unusual” scenes in Korean literature in recent years. If I told you that Korean poetry is at the center of it, would international readers believe me? The proportion of readers in their 20s and 30s buying poetry books is increasing. The share of teenagers is also increasing, not to mention the number of poetry books being published. It is no longer strange or unfamiliar to see people transcribing poems.

The thing that’s being “unlocked” should be smartphones, not poetry books, isn’t it?The year 2024 is poised to be a monumental year in Korean literary history. It is 100 years since the publication of Chu Yo-Han’ first poetry collection Beau...
