Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑩] Two Masters of Modern Literature Who Spent Their Entire Lives Completely Immersed in Their Works Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do: Kim Hongshin House andGanggyeong Mountain Salt Literary House   2025.02.17   Any city has a history that builds up over time, like the rings of an old tree. Cities grow and transform like organisms, and along the way, they develop many stories. Those stories, in turn, are the source of an area’s image, energy, and sentiment. Nonsan-si, located in the hinterland of Chungcheongnam-do, is home to many cultural heritage sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Donam Seowon, Jonghagdang, and Myeongjae Historic House. There are also many other attractions, such as the beautiful Ganggyeong Port, which still retains traces of its prosperity through the years of modernization, and Tapjeong Reservoir and Suspension Bridge, where you can experience the feeling of walking on a lake.

Since 1997, he has been involved in popular music media, festivals, research, education, and publishing. He recently published an interview collection featuring Uhm In-Ho and Ahn Chi-Hwan in the series Record of a Legend: The Artists Park Jun-Heum Met.   The winter’s cold and cloudy days are lingering on. Partly because of the weather, partly because of getting older, I think there is definitely a kind of depression that I have never experienced before. Maybe that’s why old politicians are so obsessed with power to counteract it. And maybe that’s the answer to the question, “What kind of wealth and honor do you expect at that age?”It may have little to do with wealth or glory, but here are two books that embody the enduring wisdom forged only by those who persevere daily through hardships, along wit...

Korean Literature’s Borderless Literary Appeal

Special Project   [Award-winning Korean Books ②] Korean Literature’s Borderless Literary Appeal Korean works nominated or winning international literary awards in 2024   2024.12.02   The flow, trend, and outlook of Korean literature   Until 2023, one of the major concerns in the Korean literary world, intellectual circles, and the publishing industry was whether Korean books, including literature, would continue to expand their presence in the global content market. And, this became a “certainty” in only a year. Han Kang’s winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature served as the catalyst. In the four years since 2020, the number of Korean authors winning international literary awards skyrocketed. Among the 45 awards won since 2003, 20 were from 2020 and onward. The following are some of the most prominent wins or nominations for international literary awards in the past four years.In 2020, Kim Young-Ha’s Diary of a Murderer (Bokbok S...

Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers   2024.12.02   Korean literature and Editions Picquier have a long story. We began publishing books from Asia nearly 40 years ago: Korea and its literature, virtually unknown in France at the time, have fascinated us from our earliest days. The first works we published - Kim Won Il’s Mr Lee’s Travel, KIM Song Dong’s Mandala, Yun Hung Kil’s The Mother - almost went unnoticed; it was challenging to bring readers into contact with a literature that was far removed from the habits and preoccupations of French readers. It was a literature that gave pride of place to cultural traditions, to the earth, to history. We thus decided to publish anthologies of short stories and essays to give French readers some reference points. This had a pedagogical purpose, establishing a foothold in Korean literature and presenting a more organized history to readers. More than 30 years ago, what was being published in France wa...

Literary Awards: A Message of the Times

Special Project   [Award-winning Korean Books ①] Literary Awards: A Message of the Times Major Korean literary award-winning books in 2024   2024.11.04   Writer Han Kang, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2024     Where does the authority of the Nobel Prize in Literature derive from? 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? Well, it’s probably a combination of all of these elements, but more than that, it’s the message that holds the secret to its long-standing authority. The Nobel Prize in Literature has always pointed out exactly what we, as a species, need to think about right now, and where we should be headed together. Each year, hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of people around the world share the same curiosity when the Prize is announced. They ask themsel...

Promoting Korean Art Through Books

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ⑤] Promoting Korean Art Through Books English editions of Korean art books for foreigners   2024.10.07   Youlhwadang Publishers, the publisher I’m working for as an editor, has three ways of utilizing English when publishing books on Korean traditional culture and arts. At the most basic level, we include an English summary at the front of the book that summarizes the content of the Korean edition, with the intent of providing the most basic information for librarians in foreign libraries with no Korean skills to categorize the books. For art collections that are mainly image-based with relatively few texts, the full text is included in both Korean and English so that it can be distributed at home and abroad as a single edition. This is also useful for artists to use as a portfolio when performing abroad. Finally, the Korean and English editions can be planned as independent books, published simultaneous...

He is currently publishing the monthly magazine Magazine Bathhouse (Site Branding) that features the stories of public bathhouses in neighborhoods.   As an urban branding director, I look at every corner of our cities, and I always realize that there are people’s stories at the end of it all. Thinking that the memory of a city is the memory of a human being, I have gotten into the habit of looking into the time, people, and spaces of a city before I go about urban branding. The records of people’s lives and spaces are a good reference, and reading them gives me an apportunity to reflect on myself.     Jeon Mong-Gag’s photobook Yunmi’s Album: From the Cradle to the Wedding (Photo Net) is a record of his daughter Yunmi ...
