Writer Kwon Jung-Min

Korean Authors   Writer Kwon Jung-Min “Picturing” an Ordinary Scene with a Fresh Perspective   2024.01.02   Unlike novels, which use words to create a picture in the reader’s mind, picture books allow the reader to imagine the story using only “pictures.” If you are a reader who needs a break from reading and watching in the midst of flashy digital visual media, a picture book can be a shelter. Kwon Jung-Min finds new aspects in familiar scenes in everyday life and captures the hidden aspects of human beings in a fresh way through the art of drawing. Following is an interview with Kwon, who practices looking into herself through picture books.       It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Could you please briefly introduce yourself to our readers?   Hi, I’m Kwon Jung-Min, a picture book writer. Picture books speak a different language and follow a different logic than normal books. When you feel ...

Food for Thought on Careers, Truthfully Portrayed in Essays

Special Project   Food for Thought on Careers, Truthfully Portrayed in Essays The Second Character Outshines the Main Character   2021.10.05   Anyone can dream of many different kinds of life. This is because it’s part of human nature to struggle with wholly expressing yourself in just a single way. Recently, there has been a hot trend of second characters (a term referring to a new or different version of yourself) being used by individuals to express each of their unique, respective identities. One of the trending ways of doing this includes essays. This refers to writing and publishing essays that portray the joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure one feels in the workplace while weaving one’s work characteristics clearly into the essays. With the increasing popularity of essays in the publishing market, “career essays” on the truthful experiences and stray thoughts one has in the workplace are also booming. There’s a so-called genre of writing, “Jobssay,” ...

Book-tuber’s Picks

One-Liner Quotes   Book-tuber’s Picks Two ways of looking at hope:Kim Eun-Kook’s The Martyred, Park Ji-Won’s The Jehol Diary   2021.10.05     The novel The Martyred (Munhakdongne Publishing Co.) depicts human beings that didn’t let go of hope even in the midst of war. Koreans had to undergo the Korean War, which was a skirmish of the Cold War in the 20th century, only five years after the country was liberated from Japanese occupation. All human beliefs are shattered on the battlefield, where minutes or even seconds determine life and death: evil flourishes, and good dies. Falsehood becomes truth, and truth becomes falsehood – the end of absurdity takes place. The “alternative truth” is common in extreme circumstances such as war. Writer Kim Eun-Kook who immigrated to the United States after participating in the Korean War as an officer, elevates the story of a young man who ...

The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction

Topic   The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction   2021.09.06   When did the golden age of non-fiction begin?   There is a genre that boasts of being at the best place in the bookstores. It is non-fiction, in particular essays, a genre where people speak frankly about their personal stories."The golden era of non-fiction has arrived" has become too cliché. Essays were once treated as "useless writings" until the beginning of the 2000s, when novels or books about money and economics prevailed in the markets. However, as mega-hit essay collections emerged entering the 2010s, such underestimation dissipated. Publishers, who belatedly realized that essays make money, have begun to fiercely launch essay collections into the market.For example, Kim Nan-Do’s You Become an Adult After Wavering for Thousand Times (Munhakdongne Publishing), Hyemin Sunim’s The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down (Suo Books), Lee Byung-Ryul’s Attraction (Dal Publishers), and Lee Oi-Su...
