“Book of the Year” Suggests the “Direction” of the Era

Topic   “Book of the Year” Suggests the “Direction” of the Era 2024 Books of the Year in Korea   2025.02.17   2024 Books of the Year selected by different media outlets   The act of recommending a book to another person may seem like a simple and easy thing to do, but it can also be a very complex and thought-provoking act, depending on how you think about it. A straightforward question, “Why this book to me?” is all it takes to understand this: sometimes a book given to a lover can be a declaration of love, a confession of one’s whole soul, or, a book given by a parent to a child who is moving out on his or her own as an adult is meant to be taken to heart as a life lesson. The act of recommending a book can also convey disdain or mockery. A person might suggest a childish or poorly written book to convey the message, “I consider you to be of this intellectual level,” or they might mock an expert by suggesting something like a bas...

How To Enrich Your Life

One-Liner Quotes   How To Enrich Your Life Financial Planner’s Pick   2024.12.02   Jung Won-Jun is a freelance financial planner specializing in financial counseling and education. He advises young adults and middle-aged people in Seoul through public institutions and gives lectures to middle-aged people on finance at Seoul Open City University.   When I counsel clients on their finances, I often meet people who are not satisfied with what they have and are constantly chasing something that doesn’t exist. We expect greater wealth to bring greater satisfaction, but it doesn’t unless you are absolutely destitute. Money cannot be the ultimate solution because it is just one of many means. Then, how can we increase our satisfaction? I would like to introduce you to two books that will help you find the answer.     Author Seo Eun-Kuk, a professor of psy...

Promoting Korean Art Through Books

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ⑤] Promoting Korean Art Through Books English editions of Korean art books for foreigners   2024.10.07   Youlhwadang Publishers, the publisher I’m working for as an editor, has three ways of utilizing English when publishing books on Korean traditional culture and arts. At the most basic level, we include an English summary at the front of the book that summarizes the content of the Korean edition, with the intent of providing the most basic information for librarians in foreign libraries with no Korean skills to categorize the books. For art collections that are mainly image-based with relatively few texts, the full text is included in both Korean and English so that it can be distributed at home and abroad as a single edition. This is also useful for artists to use as a portfolio when performing abroad. Finally, the Korean and English editions can be planned as independent books, published simultaneous...

The Hometown Scenery That Became the Literary Roots of a Modern Boy

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑥] The Hometown Scenery That Becamethe Literary Roots of a Modern Boy Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwondo: Gasan (可山) Lee Hyo-Seok Memorial Hall   2024.10.07   Fall in Pyeongchang begins with the white buckwheat blossoms. The buckwheat fields that cover the vast expanse of Bongpyeong-eup in white create a dreamlike beauty in combination with the blue sky. In his novel When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom, writer Lee Hyo-Seok described this view as “I could hardly breathe in the soft moonlight as if it were sprinkled with salt.” Pyeongchang hosts the “Hyoseok Culture Festival” to spotlight the literary world of Gasan (Lee’s pen name) Lee Hyo-Seok, including When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom in September, when you can stroll through a field of buckwheat flowers as if you were walking into a scene from the novel. It’s a great example of how a writer’s masterpiece can have a profound impact on local culture.   Ou...

Korean Folk Tales and Picture Books: Spreading Korean Culture into the World

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ③] Korean Folk Tales and Picture Books:Spreading Korean Culture into the World Introduction of Korean folk tales and picture books published in English   2024.08.05   Since its founding in 1963, “Hollym,” the English-language brand of “Hollym Corp., Publishers,” has been publishing and exporting English-language books introducing Korean culture to the world with the catchphrase, “Books on Korea to the World.” In 1977, it established a local subsidiary, “Hollym International Corp.” in New Jersey in the US, and has set up overseas distributors around the world to accelerate book exports.From the late 1900s to the early 2000s, not many people knew where Korea was located, or even if it existed at all. It was a difficult time for people to make a living, so the domestic publishing industry could not be developed systematically; it was rare for Korean books to be exported and translated and published i...

Development and Transformation of Korean Young Adult Fiction

Topic   Development and Transformation of Korean Young Adult Fiction   2024.06.03   “Young Adult (YA)” is a keyword that can’t be left out when discussing Korean literature in recent years. In fact, “recent” might not be the right word. It was in 2021 when the first article on the topic of “young adult fiction” appeared in K-Book Trends, and Sohn Won-Pyung’s Almond (Darjeeling), which was mentioned as a work that led the young adult market at that time, was published in 2017. However, the term “young adult” appears in the submission guidelines of new fiction contests, in the names and intentions of newly conceived novel series, and in the introductions of young adult SF or fantasy novels. As such, young adult fiction is expanding and changing at a remarkably rapid pace. This growth can be attributed to the steady improvement of Korean young adult fiction, the changes in general fiction, and readers’ enthusiasm for new genres. So, where did Korean young...
