Topic   Korean Bookstores Dominated by Screenplays and Scripts   2022.11.07   “Do you stop reading screenplays after watching movies in Korea?”“It’s out… ‘in the fullness of time.’”“The ‘unparalleled’ screenplay that I made a ‘decision’ to buy.”“This is the only way to read the best screenplay. What else can I do?”- Comments by fans of the movie “Decision to Leave” on their expectations for the screenplay publication parodying the movie’s lines   The movie “Decision to Leave,” released last June, is the most recent movie written by Chung Seo-Kyung and directed by Park Chan-Wook. It won the Best Director Award at the 75th Cannes Film Festival. The movie’s popularity was not as high as expected soon after its release, but the share of “en cha gamsang (n차 감상, or “n-th watcher”),” who watch the same movie several times, was as high as blockbuster movies. Thanks to its strong fandom, the film was able to run for a long on thea...

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.K.

Export Case   Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.K. Publishing the best literature from East Asia, be it classic or contemporary   2022.09.05   When we started Honford Star, our original plan was to publish the short stories of Yi Sang, the tragic poet of early modern Korean literature. His bizarre imagery and youthful exuberance attracted us, even though the difference in language and decades between him and us. Unfortunately, we were never able to publish Yi, but our love of offbeat Korean literature continued.At Honford Star, we aim to translate books right at the edge between genre fiction and literary fiction. So when Anton Hur sent us the first two stories in the Cursed Bunny (Arzak) short story collection, we bought the rights as fast as we could. The stories were absurdist masterpieces that showcased author Bora Chung’s ability to mix the fantastical with social critique. Her stories fit in perfectly with our other Korean b...

Uijeongbu Music Library

Book Trip   [Korean Libraries with Themes ②] Uijeongbu Music Library Harmony of Black Music Created by the Collaboration of Music, Books, and Space   2022.07.04   One of the positive changes brought by the stronger influence of local governments is that the unique cultures of each region are becoming more independent. Small cities have been making good progress in this regard. For example, Uijeongbu, well-known as a city where US troops are stationed, has spread relevant cultures. Among all, Uijeongbu has become a leading region, a mecca for so-called black music, such as jazz, R&B, and blues that the US soldiers enjoyed. Using this characteristic, Uijeongbu City opened a music library in June 2021. While it is unique that the library is themed under “music,” the thing that it is based on black music makes the library more unique, as similar libraries would mainly cover classical music. Let’s take a walk through Uijeongbu Music Library, where...

Writer Seo Hyun

Korean Authors   Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination   2025.10.02   Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...
