Not just comfort and empathy, but anxiety and fear: Pay Attention to K-Horror

Topic   Not just comfort and empathy, but anxiety and fear: Pay Attention to K-Horror     2026.03     Healing and Zombies   In the Bag   For the past few years, the mainstream of Korean genre literature has undeniably been "healing." Healing fantasy, set in familiar spaces such as convenience stores, bookstores, and antique shops, offered solace to Korean readers weary of individualism. Messages like "You are not alone in your struggles" and "We are looking toward the light together" were sweet and comforting. However, where there is bright light, there are also deep shadows. No matter how much we comfort one another, we remain beings who must ultimately compete alone in a cold, harsh reality. To make matters worse, the pandemic that struck like a tidal wave...

Korean Science Fiction Today

  One-liner Quotes   Korean Science Fiction Today     2026.02     A narrative is composed of events, characters, and a setting of time and space. That is what we are taught. In traditional storytelling, the events were paramount. However, at some point, character-driven narratives began to take center stage.In genres such as sitcoms or animations, events only materialize through the existence of the characters; the plot is merely the consequence of their action.Conversely, in storytelling for content like video games, “world-building” — the specific time and space that shapes a world — has become the priority.Worlds that are entirely alien to our reality, or those with overlapping or inverted rules, provide the necessary plausibility for their characters and events. Similarly in literature, genres such as fantasy...

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑬] A City Cold Yet Warm at Heart: Moscow   2026.01.05       Famous cities around the world tend to carry images of their own. Paris, the city of romance; New York, the center of popular culture; and Rome, often regarded as the very heart of ancient European culture?each city’s name becomes an icon and an object of aspiration. In this way, Moscow, the capital of Russia, the largest country in the world, has long been perceived as the center of the “Iron Curtain.” The term “Iron Curtain,” used during World War II by Nazi propaganda minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, referred to the closed nature of the Soviet Union and the communist states of Eastern Europe at the time. It portrayed the Soviet Union’s isolationist policies and police-state system as an “impenetrable barrier.” In 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also expressed...

Some versions of ourselves appear only in certain situations or through certain people, while others never surface at all.In Gaeul in ...
