Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Illustrator’s Pick   2023.03.13     There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...

Korean Editor’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Korean Editor’s Pick   2022.12.05   If you are interested in Korean culture and stories, you will eventually find yourself wondering, “What country is Korea?” Of course, there will be many ways to answer this great question, but if I were to answer, I would choose two books instead with two words “land and people.”     The first book ? or series ? that I recommend is My Exploration of Cultural Heritage (Changbi). This is one of the representative humanities book series in Korea and is regarded as the pioneer that settled “exploration journals” as a genre that differs from travelogues. The series has sold more than 4 million copies since it was published 30 years ago. It currently consists of 20 volumes ? 12 about Korea, 5 about Japan, and 3 about China. Among the volumes covering almost every region in Korea, I chose My Exploration of Cul...

Professor Kim Ho-Dong, the World-Renowned Scholar in Central Eurasian History

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑩] Professor Kim Ho-Dong, the World-RenownedScholar in Central Eurasian History A Broad and Deep Perspective Toward the World   2022.10.04   “A big fish in a small pond.” This is one of the Korean proverbs metaphorically used to refer to those with little knowledge about the world. Because we are from a certain country, a certain nationality, or a certain generation, we tend to look at the world from a narrow point of view. However, in order to enter the larger world, we must have the courage to break the wall around us. Professor Kim Ho-Dong of the Department of Asian History at Seoul National University has devoted his life to filling in the blank pages in world history by learning local languages to study the history of mysterious Central Eurasia and drawing a map of his own. Let’s follow in the footsteps of professor Kim, who became a world figure in the history of Central Eurasia, breaking down the solid wall called “g...

Fandom and Publishing

Topic   Fandom and Publishing Trend in the Korean publishing market in 2022   2022.09.05   I have talked with a number of editors from publishing companies about “profitable books.” They all said, “The results are mostly determined by how influential the author is. How many readers it can attract is also one of the key points of signing a contract.”While fewer people are reading books, more people hope to write books today. So, among the manuscripts flooding in, the writers who sign the contract at the end are those who are influential. The marketing capacity of the publisher is indeed important. But, in this market where capital decides the marketing power, it is more likely that you must bring in “people that don’t read” to make a book go best seller. Thus, it is clear that a publishing company prefers to publish books by those with a strong fandom, created before publication.      ...

Oh Kang-Nam, Professor of Comparative Religion

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑨] Oh Kang-Nam, Professor of Comparative Religion A Keen Insight Toward Religion, Society, and Life   2022.09.05   We all have our own faith in mind about how to live our lives. This belief could be about a spiritual being, a community that shares a common idea, or an order like law or ethics. Professor Oh Kang-Nam, a representative specialist on comparative religion in Korea, studies these beliefs with profound observation and insight. The field of “comparative religion” may be somewhat unfamiliar to some, but it is one of the religious studies comparing various religions and beliefs throughout the world. People who specialize in comparative religious study have a deeper understanding of the most fundamental and philosophical interest of religions. Following is the interview with professor Oh Kang-Nam, who has devoted his life to valuable research and writing about the beliefs and practices of human beings ba...
