A New Joy Found in Daejeon - Tiny Bookstores

A New Joy Found in Daejeon - Tiny Bookstores 2019.11.04 When chatting about traveling through cities in South Korea, Daejeon is almost never mentioned because of the lack of content worth noting aside from the fact that it lies right in the center of the Korean peninsula. One would also be doing themselves a favor by not recalling the Daejeon Expo from 1993, because they would be giving away how old they are. The story becomes different if the objective of your travels becomes narrower - specifically if the objective is books. A quiet place for quiet voices - Cloud Bookshop / Gumo Cafe We tend to fill the bookcase with books that may be liked by people who prefer quiet spaces. About two years ago, a small bookstore opened its doors in Dong-gu, Dae-dong in Daejeon. You could find it tucked away in a neighborhood with low, aged walls between houses. The owner of that bookstore...

2019 South Korea-China Publishing Copyright Exchanges Event

2019 South Korea-China Publishing Copyright Exchanges Event 2019.12.09 Currently, in 2019, many South Korean publications can be seen throughout the world regardless of genre, including literature, books on hobbies, learning languages and children's books. Thanks to the efforts of many publishing experts and professionals inside and outside the country, South Korean publications have now started to become known overseas. However, exchanges came to a standstill after active engagement for many years with one country. This country was China. After political conflict arose between the two countries over the deployment of an anti-missile system called THAAD in South Korea in 2016, bilateral publication copyright deals were also affected.

One-on-One Business Matching Between South Korea...

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...
