The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher   2021.07.05   Why Diamond acquired the publication rights of the book, I Almost Lived Too Hard   It was April 2019 when I heard about the book I Almost Lived Too Hard (Woongjin ThinkBig) (Japanese title: あやうく一生懸命生きるところだった). As soon as I saw its appealing title and theme, I was convinced that it would also sell in Japan. Books related to emotional sicknesses such as depression and stress were trending in the Japanese publishing market around that time, and there was already the atmosphere among the public that the book’s topic of “not living to the fullest” might be accepted. As I also had a time when my mind was very distressed, I wanted to present this book to people with “exhausted minds.”Besides, it was around that time that another bestselling Korean book, I Decided to Live As Myself (Woods of Mind’s Books) (Japanese title: 私は私のままで生きることにした) began ...

Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do

Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do Where bookstores bloom slow but steady   2021.07.05     Gimpo, Gyeonggi-do Province. It is trendy as it neighbors Seoul to the southeast and somehow tense as it faces the border area with North Korea. Gimpo, the newly emerging region of culture, can be found in the northwest part of Seoul. New bookstores are settling in recently in Gimpo as well. Also, its old town has turned into a cultural hot spot called "100th Street", where the 100-plus-years-old churches, schools, catholic churches, and markets can be found. In particular, the strong solidarity among bookstores has formed a community of their own. The Gimpo bookstores bonded together to create a co-op, working to become sustainable bookstores. Let’s take a look at newly established bookstores less than 1-year-old in Gimpo, where you can embrace the relaxing atmosphere in the suburban area of Seoul.   Views of “1...

BookTuber’s Pick: A Book to Chill Your Summer

BookTuber’s Pick: A Book to Chill Your Summer   2021.07.05     I’m taking an early summer vacation. It’s still June, but the ground heats up hot during the day and stays heated until night ? it is summer, and nobody can doubt it. Sitting out on the terrace, I hear grasshoppers chirping. And I start to think, why are summer nights so special? So many good memories were from summer nights. I once lay down inside a sleeping bag with my friend and exclaimed when we spotted a shooting star at the same time. Also, I remember the moment when my heart palpitated as I saw the sunrise on the way back home from a night movie ? it was also a summer night.I let my feelings take me over, smelling the misty droplets in the air. Thinking about how to spend this special time, I took out the book I brought from home. There is a rhino and a penguin putting their foreheads together on the cover of this thin book. The ...

Discussing the Current Status of Korean Picture Books

Discussing the Current Status of Korean Picture Books   2021.06.07   A visual language that captivates all generations   From the beginning of the 2000s, Korean picture books have been displaying a dramatic change in their identity, and it is even difficult to predict their next transformation. In the background was the growth of authors who have been honing their professional illustrating skills since the 1990s and the introduction of new authors in the field influenced by them. Also, the expansion of the readership has influenced the trend as generation Z has begun to recognize picture books as a new media. The most distinctive characteristic of Korean picture books is that there’s not only an increasing number of aesthetic aspects but also metaphoric and experimental attempts. Picture books with rich expressions and aesthetic mechanisms are becoming a new tool for communication that reaches all generations.   Picture books are growing their readership a...
