Sehan Bookstore

Book Trip   [Celeb’s Book Spot ③] Sehan Bookstore A Secondhand Bookstore Full of Unique Memories and Vibes   2023.04.03     We are living in an era where so many books are coming out every day. How we purchase books has evolved over time as well, and it has become common to see buying books from online bookstores whenever and wherever we are. Now, there’s an old bookstore surrounded by nature that has been off the changing trend, keeping the unique analog vibe and memories. It is Sehan Bookstore in Danyang. Established in Seoul in 1979, Sehan Bookstore moved to Danyang and has kept its place as a part of nature, serving as a house for many books.While the bookstore is located inside a quiet mountain, it became a beloved tourist spot after it was used to film the movie “Inside Men.” Visited by actor Cho Seung-Woo, cartoonist Lee Hyeon-Se, singer and MC Lim Baek-Cheon, and K-Pop idol group Golden Child, Sehan Bookstore has been playing the role of a tour...

Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons

Topic   Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons   2023.03.13   Status of Korean webnovel and webtoon market   Korea’s webnovel and webtoon market has been growing rapidly, representing the “K-content” category. The business has been expanding into other countries as well, such as other Asian countries and the US. Derivative works based on webnovels and webtoons are generating income through various channels. As can be seen in the success of the recently-aired drama “Reborn Rich,” IPs (intellectual property) based on publishing content such as webnovels and webtoons are expanding into other industries such as drama, film, animation, and games, securing the original content with relatively less investment. According to the research conducted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), the size of the webnovel market grew from 741.5 billion won in 2020 to 1.85 tril...

Illustrator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Illustrator’s Pick   2023.03.13     There’s one thing that I felt as I’ve been living in Seoul for 14 years. Seoul changes every second. The red-brick multi-family house where I lived for 7 years and the path that I walked on every day are no longer there, with new apartments in place instead. Most of the shops I used to be a regular at have closed, too. Such frequent changes are different in type, too. Go around the high, giant apartments, enter the alley, and you’ll see clusters of red-bricked houses all of a sudden, which is quite unbalancing. A decades-old market is just a street across from the new town. Avenues with new, popular shops are always under construction. For travelers, the vibrant atmosphere created by those different sceneries might be something dynamic and entertaining.But, as Korea has been growing too fast, people with less f...

Museum Curator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Museum Curator’s Pick   2023.02.20     Westerners who visited “Joseon (the previous name of Korea)” in the 19th century described the country as the “Hermit Kingdom” or the “Land of Morning Calm.” Since that was how Joseon was depicted by foreigners, a third party, I just thought so, too. However, was Joseon, a dynasty that lasted for as long as 500 years, nothing but a reclusive and silent country? Landscape of Joseon’s Backstreet (Purunyoksa) by Kang Myung-Kwan is filled with content that would be exciting for those who usually get overwhelmed and bored by the word “history.” I used to know Joseon as a country dominated by strong Confucian culture and noble seonbi (scholars), but I wondered what made the author so eager to depict the landscape of the kingdom’s alleys. Even now, alleys are riskier and scarier than main roads as we don’t ...

It won the Best Director Award at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.
