One-Liner Quotes   Comfort Across Time: The Global Spotlight on K-Literature, Past, Present, and Future     2026.03     Korean culture is now transcending domestic production to become a core subject for major global studios, deeply embedding itself into the daily lives of people worldwide.

As I run a publishing company in South Korea, I visit bookstores and libraries in Germany often in search of good ideas for publications. Naturally, I found myself seeking out South Korean books translated into German, and I found Han Kang's The Vegetarian (Changbi) and Jeong You-jeong's Seven Years of Darkness (Eunhaengnamu). The Literature Translation Institute of Korea played a huge role in getting these books to German readers, but usually it is rare for German publishers to publish South Korean books all on their own.

After its launch, the application has improved consistently, tailored to the needs of its users, and more poems have been added including new works. On April 23, the app marked its first anniversary and a new section called ‘Poem Diary’ was launched where users could upload works of poetry and writing on the app like they would in a diary. Siyoil saw more than 200,000 users register before its first anniversary. In comparison, the Facebook account for Changbi, Siyoil’s parent company, took seven years to gain ...
