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.

Interview with author Soon-won Lee

Interview with author Soon-won Lee Pure Korean Literature, Shining Lyricism   2017.11.01   Works by novelist Soon-won Lee are pure, traditional and nature-centric. He has lived some 30 years as a novelist and his writing at times has been published in textbooks or produced into short television films. His works, known for their deep Korean narratives, are now garnering attention overseas. There is a saying that the most traditional things are usually the most global, which would explain why his pure, Korean writing has been gaining interest outside of the country. We spoke to the novelist on his recently exported the whale who returned to the sea, where he gets his inspiration from, what Korean literature needs now and going forward among other things.   KPIPA We are delighted to feature you on our webzine.
