Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do A City Infused with the Scent of Books 2021.04.05 Daegu Metropolitan City, located in the southern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, is an inland basin where mountains, forests, springs, and wetlands make beautiful harmony. Being the epitome of “harmonious coexistence,” Daegu boasts a cordial mixture of fancy townscape and beautiful nature, where the past, present, and future coexist. You can also find unique streets where businesses in the same industry came together and formed their own market. The best examples are the automobile component street in Namsan, famous for its street motor show, glasses street which is one of the top 3 glasses production sites in the world, and the jewelry street where around 200 jewelry shops are lined up.

Writer Yoo Sun-Kyong

Korean Authors Writer Yoo Sun-Kyong Facing Your Emotions and Naming Them 2022.08.01 We express our feelings through writings in the form of journals or texts.

Bookkeeper’s Choice - Picture Book

Bookkeeper’s Choice - Picture Book 2021.04.05 The writer of Midnight’s Gift says she reinterpreted her thankful feelings toward nature that she got when she was looking at the evening sunset.

The colorful obangsaek (five cardinal colors) expressed in hanji (traditional Korean paper handmade from mulberry trees) collage makes us feel thankful towards nature, and the gift shared among the five brothers of light and darkness teaches us the happiness of sharing.

Introducing Korean Sci-Fi!

Introducing Korean Sci-Fi! 2021.03.08 Beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea To pick the genre that the public has actively consumed in Korea for the past several years, it would be "Science Fiction." However, considering the massive fandom and cultural influence of Sci-Fi in other countries such as the United States, it has not been long since the public in Korea has highlighted the genre. This is why some people think that the Sci-Fi syndrome in Korea is a sudden phenomenon. However, Korea's Sci-Fi genre has been shaped to become what it is today from about 100 years ago, creating the foundation for today's Sci-Fi to be at the center of people's attention. Then, learning the history of Korean Sci-Fi will be a good way to understand it better and get a clearer glimpse of its future outlook. The beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea goes back to 1907. The first Sci-Fi work recorded in history isserialized in the journal Taegukhakbo- a journal for Koreans studying in Japan, wh...
