Topic   The Meaning Behind Korea’s “Copybook” Craze The Analog Comeback in a Digital Age   2025.05.07   The Return of Analog Sensibility with “Text-Hip” Culture   Professor Kim Nan-Do, author of the book Trend Korea 2025 (Mirae Books), picked the “appeal of materiality” as one of the consumer trends in Korea this year.
