The city is now blossoming with literature after having embraced that history. The literature of Incheon can be found at times in comparatively desolate parts of the city, but it's worth seeking it out, similar to how a reader can read between the lines of a book and feel touched.     The Museum of Korean Modern Literature     The Museum of Korean Modern Literatureresonates with visitors as modern Korean history,invoking a faint longing and an aching which can be found in literature here.     One of the key images of Incheon, when one thinks of the city, is Chinatown, where ...

Independent Publishing

Independent Publishing Movement in South Korea's Publishing Industry Worth Noting The Age of 'Independent Publishing'   2017.7.28   Recently in South Korea, independent bookstores are gaining increasingly more attention, especially among younger Koreans.
