"The child plays because it plays. Reason does not exist in its play. (The editor-in-chief of Magazine B Tiktok)." This is a quote from Heidegger. Unlike books, magazines are like amusement parks as it is hard to expect what will unfold in the following pages. That is why it is okay to replace the word magazine with play from Heidegger's quote. A brand magazine Magazine B quoted Heidegger. The gap is the fun in magazines. Magazines neutralize the differences and show the unexpected of the world unpredictably.
#Books
Chaeg 2022 April Edition, Seoul Review of Books 1-Year Special Edition, Crossover The 1st Edition
Chaeg is a monthly magazine launched in November 2014 that covers anything about books. The magazine releases ten monthly editions, except for the bi-monthly editions, combining January & February and July & August. 2022 April Edition's theme is The Possibility Called Friendship, and it wrote Us Being Together on its cover. On the inside, Yoo Anjin's poem On Friendship is quoted and shows other sayings on friendship, such as the one from The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini or "I made you take care of me, and you made me take care of me. That's why" from Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Elaborately collected phrases in the magazine are good to use on certain occasions. The magazine made reading easier than books by actively using pictures and images. The index that shows a list of books released during the past month is a hand-made list that shows the significance of listed books and reviews written by editors, which might be helpful to readers.
Magazines stand between books and the Internet:
#Environment
Wind and Water, published by Kang Won Young Foundation, is a magazine being published for the limited time of 3 years. Starting with its 2021 Summer Edition, its life ends with its 2024 Spring Edition. Authors of the magazine are diverse: a member of congress Jang Hye-Yeong, a full-time expert member of Green Korea United Seo Jae-Cheol, journalists, researchers, and activists. The 1st Edition's theme was The Climate and Heart, 2nd was Harmless Waste, 3rd was Running Forest, and 4th was The Definition of Caring. It may be because the magazine aims to be an environmental movement platform. The themes are expressed in diverse forms, including novels, comics, and drawings, but the magazine fails to convey the central theme. On the other hand, there is a quarterly magazine on veganism named Wave, which Donghaemul and Dooroome Books publish together. In its 2022 Spring Edition, the magazine described the point where activists in other fields meet with veganism under the theme Intersectionality ✕ Veganism.
