What I Discovered in the Crevices of the City

One-Liner Quotes   What I Discovered in the Crevices of the City     2026.06     After moving to the capital, the Seoul that I so diligently explored became divided into roughly two categories for me: that which leaves a memory, and that which leaves an impression. Typically, things that were grand and splendid belonged to the former, while things that were small and tender remained as the latter. Memories held a sort of momentary intensity, as if capturing the “me” of that exact moment in a mirror. On the other hand, things that were small or ordinary left a faint trace of when or where they were found; yet, they were unmistakably discovered in the world outside of myself, leaving behind something entirely new that did not previously exist within me. In the form of a continuous and perpetual subconscious, these d...

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

Korean Literature: From Page to Screen

Topic   Korean Literature: From Page to Screen   2025.09.04   In the Korean film industry, the label “based on a novel” is no longer unusual. Over the past decade, films adapted from literary works have steadily reached theaters, making secondary rights sales a significant revenue stream for publishers. For filmmakers, novels are an attractive source material because they offer strong narratives and existing recognition, all within the constraints of limited budgets. As a result, adaptations have not only drawn audiences to cinemas but also reignited book sales, often sending older titles back up the bestseller lists. Since the success of adaptations such as Gong Ji-Young’s The Crucible (Changbi Publishers) and Kim Ryeo-Ryeong’s Wandeuk (Changbi Publishers), which achieved both commercial popularity and social impact, literary-based films are no longer regarded as “exceptional undertakings.” This month’s article reviews prominent examples from the last ten...
