South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets

South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets 2018.07.31 South Korean literature has recently been entering a number of different countries with different languages, instead of focusing on one language or one country. The situation has shifted from before, when South Korean original novels would find demand after a film or television adaptation gained in popularity or vice versa. This shows South Korean literature’s presence in the global publishing market and that Korean literature has been gaining in competitiveness in a number of different markets. Around the time of the New York Rights Fair that was held recently from late May to early June, Lee Ji-min’s novel Marilyn and Me (That Book) was introduced to the market and since then has been the subject of great interest. This novel tells the story of Marilyn Munroe and her interpreter Alice in the February of 1954, just after the Korean War ended in a truce. The story of the two women...

BIR A pond of growth: spreading its wings toward the broader world 2020.04.06 If there is a place where a child must stop by before becoming a grown-up, where would it be?

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays 2018.05.30 A list of bestselling books at times can be perceived as a miniature version of a society. Especially at times like now when far fewer people are buying books, the act of purchasing a book reflects a person's strong want to own a book even at the expense of paying one's hard-earned money. Not only do trendy books sell, but books that accurately secure society's general flow and emotions do well. From that perspective, looking at bestsellers becomes an act of analysis into a society. At present time in 2018, emotional essays are seeing no end to their fame in South Korean bookstores. For industry leaders like Kyobo Book Centre and Aladin last year, the bestselling book in 2017 was Lee Ki-ju's Temperature of Language. The book shows very well the author's career as a speech writer for the presidential office following years as a journalist. Previously, Lee was known for his books o...

Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges 2019.09.09 Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan. Travel into layers of time The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today. For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination. It is a port city that leads to the Pacific...
