The Meaning Behind Korea’s “Copybook” Craze

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. It is the power to make people not only appreciate content with their eyes, but also want to touch it physically. This is manifested in the “materialization of content” phenomenon. Kim explains that in the age of immateriality, where everything is digitized, people still crave something they can experience with their hands. This explains the recent craze for “transcription books” in the Korean book and publishing market. It is an era where all information is reduced to images and videos. People exposed to all kinds of digital content are now seeking the pleasure of holding a pen, touching paper, and seeing the contents of a book in ...

A City Where the Past and Future Meet: Tokyo

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ②] A City Where the Past and Future Meet: Tokyo   2025.02.17       Korea and Japan are countries that are both close and far away at the same time. They are located in East Asia and have similar climates, four seasons, and no time difference. Even the cityscapes look similar at first glance. Seoul and Tokyo both feature a mix of skyscrapers and traditional architecture. However, if you look a little deeper, you start to see the subtle differences between them. Whereas tradition and modernity blend together naturally in Korea, the two seem to be more starkly separated in Japan. For example, Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul seems to blend into the modern cafes and shops surrounding it, but in Tokyo’s Asakusa neighborhood, the shrines and temples are quiet reminders of a time gone by.When you first step foot in Tokyo, you feel like you have just walked into a giant puzzle.

Is it the huge prize of 1.3 billion won, or the long history of 124 years? Or is it the exceptional life stories of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite?
