The fact that I grew up in the countryside and was always around plants was also one of the reasons why I wanted to be a botanist. Ho...

Trends in the Publishing Market in the First Half of 2022

Publishing Industry Trends in the Publishing Market in the First Half of 2022 2022.08.01 People are still reeling from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has swept the world over the past three years. Korea has been rapidly taking actions to return people’s daily lives to how they were before the pandemic. Such efforts can be seen through major terms commonly used in news outlets, such as “endemic” and “post-COVID.” Also, in early June, the Seoul International Book Fair was held at COEX on a large scale after a three-year absence, attracting approximately 100 thousand visitors. What’s more, lectures and autograph signing events of writers that had halted due to the social distancing policy have begun to take place again. It also seems that publications, book sales, and book-related programs are beginning to revitalize.Books related to “endemic” include From Pandemic to Endemic (Dongasia Books), written by researchers at the Institute for ...

Reading: Sorting Out the Unchanging from the Changing

One-Liner Quotes Reading: Sorting Out the Unchanging from the Changing Sportsperson’s Pick 2024.02.19 Jeong Ji-Hyeon has been climbing for 21 years. She served as a national athlete and as a coach for the national team. She still hasn’t forgotten the joy of competing and now works as a referee for Sport Climbing Asia. She also runs a center for people who enjoy climbing as a lifestyle sport. Although I am currently doing sports as a career, it was not my major. My major was Korean language education. I became a sportsperson by chance, but I also used to teach writing to elementary school students. I remember coming across the book One Day I Died (Baram Books), which left a strong impression on me at that time. At first, I doubted that it was a book for children. I had to read it for class, but I found the story to be quite compelling. I’m not sure if the kids in my class at the time enjoyed it. But, if you have ever lost someone you were ...

“Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable

Topic “Restructuring of Family” Becoming Inevitable 2023.04.03 Korea has risen from a poor country to a rich country with a per capita income of 30 thousand dollars in just half a century. With such an astonishing economic development upfront, many parts of society have been transforming rapidly. It’s no exception for families. Recently, there have been voices from parts of Korean society that the structure of the “family” should be re-engineered from the bottom. More books in the publishing market have begun to discuss the “restructuring of family.” Changes in Gender Norms in Korean Society Korean society has undergone rapid industrialization and urbanization in the 1960s and 70s. This spurred a fast transition from the traditional way of having big patriarchal families to nuclear families. However, nuclear families still had some patriarchal elements left, and men-focused gender roles were maintained. Also, while there was no sturdy s...

The “Healing Fiction” Fever

Topic The “Healing Fiction” Fever Trending: Fiction With the Theme of Healing Space 2022.10.04 Because I work in a book review team in a press agency, I meet dozens of books every week. And, recently, novels with similar designs and colors caught my attention, and I collected them on one side of the office. Then, one day, one of my colleagues from another team came to say hello, saw the stacks, and asked, “What are they? Are they a series?” Oh, yes. They may appear to belong to the same series, as they are so similar - in terms of atmosphere, not context. Every book seems to be indistinguishable from the others. Their warm color tone, and the “thing.” They all have some “house” drawn on their covers. So, even though people say that this is the generation of non-book-readers, I thought that it was worthy enough to write an article about this phenomenon as there must be a reason for their commonality.In fact, articles about this trend have been around...
