National Library of Korea(NLK)’s Pick: Essay

National Library of Korea(NLK)’s Pick: Essay   2021.05.03     The writer is a humble doctor that says it was all thanks to luck that he entered medical school. He endeavored to seek to become a fellow after finishing residency - accomplishing immediate goals and believing that he will be happy in the end.However, as he looked back on his life and realized he had been ignorant of what he truly likes, he chose to go on a long journey.

The “Contactless” Marketing Trend in the Era of COVID-19

The “Contactless” Marketing Trend in the Era of COVID-19   2021.04.05     The pandemic has changed the publishing industry   The virus, COVID-19, struck global industries and economies in January 2020. Our daily life has changed completely as well. The schools’ administration system almost froze as all the schools postponed the new semester. Libraries, art museums, museums, and stadiums had to close due to social-distancing. Schools that postponed the new semester a couple of times chose to open classes online. Publishers had to grope in the dark, putting a halt to publications or promotions of new titles that they have long been preparing for. It was a total nightmare. While all the cultural markets were engulfed in endless darkness, it was yet good news that the book market saw a relatively satisfactory performance. The virus-driven shock to offline bookstores was dire. However, for online bookstores, their sales record soared, led by children’s and teen boo...

Bombom Publishing Co.

Korean Publishers   Bombom Publishing Co. Unique Picture Books Made with Love   2022.10.04   Picture books were often regarded as “books only for children.” Driven by the growing interest of adult readers in picture books, however, a number of “picture books for adults” have been published lately. “What are picture books for adults?” In search of the answer to the question, Bombom Publishing Co. is dedicated to redefining them as “books that both adults and children can enjoy” from “books that adults can merely read,” and to publishing picture books covering all genres.

Popular Korean Webtoons in the US

Popular Korean Webtoons in the US   2021.04.05     In Korea and Japan, it is common for one or two writers or illustrators to complete comics from their beginning until the end. However, comics in the US are different in that the publisher owns the copyright of all the characters. Numerous writers and illustrators come together and create stories endlessly centering around the characters based on the copyrights. This is why you can easily find comics of about 32 pages mainly about masculine characters and have limited storylines. Here, Korean webtoons are blowing a new wind of change in the US comics market, appeasing a female readership as well with various characters, subjects, and genres (romance, fantasy, action, martial arts, boy’s love, sports, daily life, comedy, office life, entertainment, etc.) continuing to grow exponentially in the market.   Creative, ingenious Korean webtoons are leading the fourth Hallyu (Korean Wave) across the world. ...

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. While writing, we think of words to describe the emotion with the question, “How am I feeling now?” and organize our thoughts. Words like angry, sad, or happy are used to express emotions. Still, we need more diverse expressions and phrases to describe the feeling in detail. Yoo Sun-Kyong, an author who is loved for her best sellers Emotional Vocabulary (Annes’ Library) and Vocabulary of Adults (Annes’ Library), focuses on putting names and expressions on feelings and lets readers face the feelings they disregard.
