Art Critic Professor Yu Hong-June

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑫] Art Critic Professor Yu Hong-June Steps Taken Alongside the Beauty of Cultural Heritage   2022.12.05   Korea has a long enough history for the world to be surprised. Its history dates back to B.C. 2333, when the first nation on the Korean peninsula, Gojoseon, was founded. For a long time, Korean ancestors left countless cultural heritages to their descendants, and people of the current era find a beautiful legacy and enjoy the mood and glimpses of the past. Professor Yu Hong-June, who has visited many historic sites and published books on them, is a representative art historian and critic of Korea. He is also renowned as the author of the best-selling humanities book series My Exploration of Cultural Heritage (Changbi).

Korean and Japanese Publishers Join Hands

Export Case   Korean and Japanese Publishers Join Hands The Joy of Working Together   2022.12.05   Jinbocho, located in Tokyo, Japan, is famous for being the center of bookstores. About 130 old bookstores are lined up, and bookstores ? both big franchises and independents ? can be easily found in every alley. Old bookstores on the first floor set out a little table in front of them every morning to display books, and the alleys are soon crowded with people looking to buy books. This place has many publishing houses as well. People say Jinbocho has become famous as a hub for bookstores because there have been many educational institutions in the area since the 1600s. In addition, many prominent universities still exist in this region. As such, Jinbocho is a town of 100-year-old bookstores and publishing houses.I myself am writing books, running a bookstore, and working as a book broker in this town where writers, producers, and readers all naturally gather around....

Book Trip   [Book Spaces in Korean Media ③] Seoul Metropolitan Library A Historical Space Featured in Films and Dramas   2022.12.05   Located in the center of Seoul, there is a special place near City Hall Station that boasts the history of Seoul. The Seoul Metropolitan Library was reborn as a space of books and culture for citizens after being used as the city hall during the Japanese occupation of Korea.

Korean Editor’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Korean Editor’s Pick   2022.12.05   If you are interested in Korean culture and stories, you will eventually find yourself wondering, “What country is Korea?” Of course, there will be many ways to answer this great question, but if I were to answer, I would choose two books instead with two words “land and people.”     The first book ? or series ? that I recommend is My Exploration of Cultural Heritage (Changbi). This is one of the representative humanities book series in Korea and is regarded as the pioneer that settled “exploration journals” as a genre that differs from travelogues. The series has sold more than 4 million copies since it was published 30 years ago. It currently consists of 20 volumes ? 12 about Korea, 5 about Japan, and 3 about China. Among the volumes covering almost every region in Korea, I chose My Exploration of Cul...
