Professor Lim Jie-Hyun’s Realistic and Reflective View on Korean History

Special Project [Korean Scholars ④] Professor Lim Jie-Hyun’s Realistic andReflective View on Korean History The New Paradigm is a Nation-state Developing into a Desirable Society 2022.04.04 History does not stop progressing. It moves forward to the future as it passes through the present. History repeats itself and develops while various factors, situations, and positions of each nation entangle. It is natural for the historical paradigm to become diverse and change as it applies different judgments and value standards. Therefore, the view on history needs to progress in the right direction while embracing diversity and maintaining its realistic attitude. The opinions on history are getting more complicated with globalization. Professor Lim Jie-Hyun leads us to a new range of discussion on history with comprehensive and connective thinking and reasoning as a historian and commentator. His writings, which sharply criticize historical discou...

K-BOOK Import Case in Germany

Export Case K-BOOK Import Case in Germany The start of a new story 2022.04.04 In 2017, when a colleague at our publishing house came across the title The Things You Can Only See When You Slow Down (Suo Books) by Haemin Sunim and suggested we buy the German rights, no one thought that this would be the beginning of a new era. Of course, we assumed that the book would sell well ? why else would we want to publish it? Nevertheless, we were surprised how quickly the first edition sold out. In the meantime, over 40,000 copies have crossed the counter and the 7th edition has just been printed. One reason for the great success in Germany was certainly Haemin Sunim's reading tour, which we organised in 2018, as well as his activity on social media, where he has millions of followers. Another is that Korean culture has become increasingly visible in Europe in recent years and interest in Korean literature has also grown in this country. ...
