[INTERVIEW / KOREAN PUBLISHERS]

Korean Publishers Window of Times Pierce like a spear, reflect like a window, or sing like a singer 2025.06.02 Why do you make books? Every publisher will have a different answer to this question. Yet, every answer has its own value, and our lives are thus enriched. The publisher Window of Times continues to release books about beings and lives that we are familiar with, but know little about. From Marx to Chomsky, from farmers to convenience store part-timers, it delves deeply and uncomplicatedly into the stories of those we mistake for too distant or too familiar - to make books as a spear, window, or a song (창 in the publisher’s Korean name, “시대의창,” can be used in three different ways) to the world. The logo of publishing house Window of Times It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

Topic Korea’s Publishing Trend- The World Literature Complete Collection 2022.05.02 At the end of a recently finished drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book titled I Like Early Summer written by Lee Na-Eun, was shown. The book does not exist in reality since it was a prop. The name Lee Na-Eun was the name of the drama's screenwriter. The book continuously shows itself as one of the key items connecting the main characters. It revealed itself in the last episode as a gift to viewers.Many viewers would have noticed that the book is similar to Minumsa Publishing Company's World Literature Series. The upper half is filled with a drawing, and the lower half is covered with a white background and a single-colored title. The cover's structure is a symbol of Minumsa's collection. The fact that people recognized the book by its cover shows how much Koreans are familiar with the collection. In the drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book th...

“Illness Narratives” A Detailed Reflection of our Society

Topic “Illness Narratives”A Detailed Reflection of our Society 2022.02.14 The center of our body is not the heart.It’s the spot we feel pain when we are sick. This is a phrase from the poem I, Stand There written by Park No-Hae. In fact, we all get restless even when a small spinule is stuck under the fingernail. Needless to say, if we feel pain in some area of our body, that spot becomes the center of our body, getting all the focus. Every human being sometimes gets sick to a different degree. Even for someone who has never caught a cold, there must be a time they get sick due to perhaps aging, which is a natural process for our body. It is not a curse word, but all human beings have no choice but to go through sickness and healing, and through which, they gradually grow into a mature person. (could be harmed, of course.)
