Warm Hope in a Cold City

Book Trip   [Into the Book ⑧] Warm Hope in a Cold City Jongno-gu, Seoul: What’s still with us today   2024.03.11   One Hundred Shadows       As I thought Mujae was somehow looking shady when he said, “Don’t follow shadows,” I strained my eyes and looked again, and there was a sunshower falling like a spider’s web.     Hwang Jung-Eun’s first full-length novel, One Hundred Shadows (Changbi), is the story of Eunkyo and Mujae, two characters working in an electronics store in the center of the city.

A garden is not just a space to be cultivated - it is where the human heart resides. Its meaning changes with the mind of the person who tends it and the generational background.   “Within a garden lie traces of the heart that reach beyond mere scenery.” - from the book   Just as we can understand why Yoon Seon-Do, disheartened by the world that failed to recognize him, built a lavish garden at Seyeonjeong on Bogildo Island, and how the small gate and modest pond of Toegye Yi Hwang’s Dosan ...

Best Sellers   Greeting Autumn After a Long Chuseok Holiday Bestseller Trends in the Three Biggest Online Bookstoresin Korea for the 2nd week of October, 2025   2025.11.03   In early October, Korea observed Chuseok, one of its two major traditional holidays alongside Seollal (Lunar New Year). This year’s Chuseok was unusually long, as National Foundation Day and Hangeul Day followed one after another, giving people almost ten days off.

With long rest and steady rain, readers naturally turned their attention to books - befitting the season often called “the season of reading.”The bestseller list for the second week of October reflected the approaching year’s end. Trend Korea 2026 took the No. 1 spot, followed by Money Trend 2026 at No. 4. As the year closes, readers once again...
