“Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable

Topic   “Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable   2023.04.03   Korea has risen from a poor country to a rich country with a per capita income of 30 thousand dollars in just half a century. With such an astonishing economic development upfront, many parts of society have been transforming rapidly. It’s no exception for families. Recently, there have been voices from parts of Korean society that the structure of the “family” should be re-engineered from the bottom. More books in the publishing market have begun to discuss the “restructuring of family.”   Changes in Gender Norms in Korean Society   Korean society has undergone rapid industrialization and urbanization in the 1960s and 70s. This spurred a fast transition from the traditional way of having big patriarchal families to nuclear families. However, nuclear families still had some patriarchal elements left, and men-focused gender roles were maintained. Also, while there was no sturdy s...

Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Illustrator’s Pick   2023.03.13     There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...

Korean Editor’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Korean Editor’s Pick   2022.12.05   If you are interested in Korean culture and stories, you will eventually find yourself wondering, “What country is Korea?” Of course, there will be many ways to answer this great question, but if I were to answer, I would choose two books instead with two words “land and people.”     The first book ? or series ? that I recommend is My Exploration of Cultural Heritage (Changbi). This is one of the representative humanities book series in Korea and is regarded as the pioneer that settled “exploration journals” as a genre that differs from travelogues. The series has sold more than 4 million copies since it was published 30 years ago. It currently consists of 20 volumes ? 12 about Korea, 5 about Japan, and 3 about China. Among the volumes covering almost every region in Korea, I chose My Exploration of Cul...
