Korean Literature in the European Publishing Market

Korean Literature in the European Publishing Market   2020.12.07   Violet   The publication rights of writer Shin Kyung-Sook's third full-length novel Violet (Munhakdongne) were sold to Weidenfeld & Nicolson in Britain in November 2020. This publisher released Please Look After Mom (Changbi) of writer Shin in April 2011, and in the following year, the writer was honored with the Man Asian Literary Prize. Violet is Shin Kyung-Sook's second full-length novel to be published in Britain after Please Look After Mom. The title "Violet" has multiple implications; it is a type of flower, a color, and a metaphor for a shy woman. And at the same time, the feeble image is naturally linked to "violence." The writer blends such various meanings embedded within the story through several illustrations and metaphors. Violet is a story of distorted desire and a rotation of all writings where the frustration of all desires and desires for writing follow one after another into the nov...

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books

How to Live in the Generation where You “Watch” Books   2020.11.02       Today, reading paper books has become just one of the many ways of enjoying books. Even though you don’t necessarily “bite or taste” the books like that famous advertisement phrase, you are able to enjoy books through various channels. In particular, the transformation of diverse media based on books began to lead the new generation where you “watch, listen to, and experience” books. Some people say that “texts will be replaced with videos in the new era,” but such transformation led by the development of platforms is live evidence that books are still more of an interesting or competitive medium than you might think. This is because a generation of videos without texts or books is like a castle built on sand.   Modern society has entered an era where you watch, listen to, and experience books.     Book-related TV Programs are Fading Away   “Book...

2nd Week, February 2021 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2021.03.08   When we look at the top 10 bestsellers analyzed by major online bookstores in Korea for the second week of 2021, half of them were from Economics & Business Administration. This implies that it has not lost its strong influence in the Korean book market. For example, My First Investing Lesson Vol 1, 2 scored high from the moment of its pre-order period. Investor Kim Jung-Hwan, the writer of this book, is a major value investor in Korea. He has been gaining public fame across the nation, which is well-reflected in his Youtube performance of recording 450K subscribers in 5 months. The book turned into an issue in the market as the news spread that he has put secrets to investment, which he said he only taught his daughter, in two volumes of a book rather than in a video. While books about economics and business administration are at the center of the bestsellers, th...

Writer Park Yeon-jun

Korean Authors   Writer Park Yeon-jun   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, my name is Park Yeon-jun. I write poems and prose, and now I am writing novels, too.   Why did you decide to become a writer?   I think I have always loved stories since I was young. That is why I was interested in writing, reading, and listening to others. Among those, I found that reading interested me the most and I think that led me to become a writer.   What do you think is the most important thing when you write?   The reason empathy is vital is that you need to think from the perspective of a chair when you are writing a poem. Not how men would view an ordinary chair. The sadness and the form of the chair from its perspective; the people who stay for a while and leave the chair must think about various ideas like how the chair would feel. Even things in this studio, these small cables, lights, three of you sitting...

Writer Yi Hyeon

Korean Authors   Writer Yi Hyeon   2021.12.06     Please introduce yourself to our readers.   Hello, My name is Yi Hyeon, author of children’s books and youth novels. Nice to meet you.   Why do you write youth novels?   People often talk about middle schoolers’ 'puberty', 'youth', and 'the young generation' as if they were disorders, and always look at the young in such a way. Also, there seems to be a tendency to generalize about young people. Such is the world of youth. So, I wanted to write youth’s stories. That's also why I have recently been meeting with some students.   Do you remember any young adults?   I heard the “dating story” of a child in the third year of high school. It was a love story that hadn’t yet started. I listened and I was thrilled. And through his concerns he showed different thoughts. It was very nice to see the way he is being nurtured and developed.   How do you decide the story for your...

Hallasan: A Peak Shaped by Nature and History

Image of K-Book   Hallasan: A Peak Shaped by Nature and History   2026.01.05     Korea’s representative mountain, Hallasan     About 70 percent of Korea’s land area is mountainous. One of the most prominent ranges is the Taebaek Mountain Range (태백산맥; 太白山脈), which stretches from the northeast to the southeast and includes many famous peaks such as Geumgangsan, Seoraksan, Odaesan, and Taebaeksan. However, the highest mountain in Korea is located on Jeju Island at the southernmost tip of the country: Hallasan, which topped this month’s K-Book Trends poll as “Korea’s representative mountain.” Rising 1,947 meters above sea level, Hallasan is an active volcano formed by repeated eruptions of basaltic lava. It was designated a Natural Monument of Korea in 1966, and in 2007, it was recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site, gaining recognition as a natural treasure of global sign...
