Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ⑥] The Hometown Scenery That Becamethe Literary Roots of a Modern Boy Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwondo: Gasan (可山) Lee Hyo-Seok Memorial Hall   2024.10.07   Fall in Pyeongchang begins with the white buckwheat blossoms. The buckwheat fields that cover the vast expanse of Bongpyeong-eup in white create a dreamlike beauty in combination with the blue sky. In his novel When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom, writer Lee Hyo-Seok described this view as “I could hardly breathe in the soft moonlight as if it were sprinkled with salt.” Pyeongchang hosts the “Hyoseok Culture Festival” to spotlight the literary world of Gasan (Lee’s pen name) Lee Hyo-Seok, including When Buckwheat Flowers Bloom in September, when you can stroll through a field of buckwheat flowers as if you were walking into a scene from the novel.

Records That Reflect Us

One-Liner Quotes   Records That Reflect Us Urban Branding Expert’s Pick: Korean Books   2024.10.07   Mok Ji-Su is an urban branding director who works on local stories and content. 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 ...

Korean Readers’ Picks in the First Half of 2024

Topic   Korean Readers’ Picks in the First Half of 2024   2024.09.02   According to the “2023 National Reading Survey” announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism in Korea, the overall reading rate was observed to be 43.0%, the lowest since the survey was initiated in 1994. This means that 6 out of 10 adults don’t even read a single e-book or audiobook, let alone a paper book. The shrinking of the reading population, which forms the foundation for the publishing market, and the aging population have been issues in Korea for quite a long time. However, it was indeed a shocking figure for the publishing industry as it expected to see a steady increase in the reading population since it enjoyed a boom during the pandemic compared to other industries.In the first half of the year, the reduction in newly published titles, driven by a contracting publishing market, alongside the enduring popularity of long-time bestsellers, played a si...

The Beginning of Summer: June's Integrated Bestseller List

Best Sellers   The Beginning of Summer:June's Integrated Bestseller List     2026.07     Since the March issue, this column has analyzed the bestseller lists of four major bookstore franchises in South Korea: Kyobo Book Centre, Youngpoong Bookstore, Jongno Books, and Arc N Book. While previous analyses focused strictly on brick-and-mortar sales, the charts of online bookstores, which now represent a major pillar of book distribution, are arguably just as important as their offline counterparts. Because all four of these franchises operate online storefronts alongside their physical locations, the upcoming features from the July through October issues will examine comprehensive charts that combine both online and offline data. To kick off this series, we look at the integrated bestseller chart compiled by Kyobo Book Centre, the largest and most influential of the four franchises.   During th...
