Book Trip   [Beautiful Library in Korea ①] Art Library Of Uijeongbu A Public platform serving as both library and art gallery   2022.02.14     Recently, libraries that offer more than reading experiences have been springing up across the country.

Movie Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Movie Critic’s Pick   2022.01.03     Though Korean literature never won a Nobel Prize (I believe it is not a big deal), there are countless great pieces. Many literary works will deliver globally appealing stories as Koreans have gone through overwhelming events. Modern Korean history is full of incidents and has been written into works of literature thanks to the writers' efforts to reflect their experience of overcoming catastrophic events. Koreans experienced war, poverty, dictatorship, and the democratic movement in a short period. Hence, it is only natural for novelists to capture the times in their works.North and South (Moonji Publishing Company), written by Hong Sung-won, is one of the masterpieces that the world would recognize. This saga was written in 1977 and showed the Korean war, the horrific fall of humans as a species, and the tenacious vitality that regenerates life as characters overcome ...
