A Genre for All Generations: Young Adult

Special Project   A Genre for All Generations: Young Adult The evolution of fiction, scalable to different media   2021.12.06   The genre of fiction is limitless in its scope. Any source that can be narrated into an interesting story can turn into a novel.

Writer Jung Yeong-Wook

Korean Authors   Writer Jung Yeong-Wook May my sentences support your life one day...   2024.05.07   Sometimes, the empathy and understanding of “I experienced that, too” can be more powerful than words of consolation or encouragement.

Writer Kwon Jung-Min

Korean Authors   Writer Kwon Jung-Min “Picturing” an Ordinary Scene with a Fresh Perspective   2024.01.02   Unlike novels, which use words to create a picture in the reader’s mind, picture books allow the reader to imagine the story using only “pictures.” If you are a reader who needs a break from reading and watching in the midst of flashy digital visual media, a picture book can be a shelter.

Following is an interview with Kwon, who practices looking into herself through picture books.       It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.
