Writer Yun Jung-Eun

Korean Authors   Writer Yun Jung-Eun A Writer that Delivers “Happiness That Will Eventually Come”   2024.04.01   In 2023, one news thrilled Korean literature fans at home and abroad. It was that Marigold Mind Laundry (Book Romance), a bestseller in Korea recognized as a “healing fantasy novel,” has signed a high advance contract with a major international publisher. For Korean fans, it was a moment of excitement to feel the power of K-literature again, and for international fans, it was a moment of anticipation to read K-literature in their own language. The book’s writer, Yun Jung-Eun, said in an interview that she hopes readers will find their comfort and happiness through reading her books. From that short answer, it was clear that even people who live across borders and speak different languages are connected by a thin but strong thread somewhere in their hearts.

Jumping Books Publishing House

Korean Publishers   Jumping Books Publishing House The joy of jumping into books   2024.03.11   The adolescent period shines brightly because it’s a time when the doors are wide open to whatever you can dream of. And Jumping Books Publishing House, which publishes books for teenagers, has also been shining in a variety of fields, including fiction, non-fiction, humanities, and liberal arts.

Writer Minha

Korean Authors   Writer Minha May you find strength and encouragement through picture books   2024.02.19   The 2023 Korea Picture Book Award chose K-picture books that will represent Korea to the world. Among the many winners, my eyes were drawn to a book that showed off unique ideas with a distinctly Korean touch. The book A Round of Tightrope Walking (Gloyeon) won the grand prize in the non-fiction category. As we read A Round of Tightrope Walking, which incorporates various elements of picture books and realistically depicts tightrope walking, we couldn’t help but smile as we imagined how excited children would be to read this book. Minha, the writer, creates a different kind of fun that goes far beyond the limits of books and paper. And since Minha says that picture books are like a shelter for her, we think her readers can also imagine and rest as much as they want through her books. Following is an interview with Minha, who continues to wri...

Korean Authors   Writer Hwang In-Chan Writing poems is like asking new questions over and over again   2023.11.06   Poetry is often stereotyped as being more difficult than other literary genres.

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...
