📕 적당한 사람
The Moderate Person
"Am I a moderate person right now?"
The journey of singer Lee Chang-sub, now in his 14th year, in search of balance. Lee Chang-sub's first essay collection. Life Pattern Korea.

Lee Chang-sub, a member of the idol group BTOB, has explored various fields as a solo singer, musician, and entertainer. Now, in his 14th year since debut, he has achieved numerous No.1 hits and impressive album sales. However, he still has many aspirations and dreams to fulfill. From starting as an idol singer to becoming a musical actor, founding a vocal academy, and even trying his hand at hosting a web entertainment show—each project began with a simple "Why not give it a try?" and has since flourished into something meaningful. This book captures his journey, from the quiet moments of contemplation to the thoughts he has rarely shared before. Life Pattern Korea.
Lee Chang-sub defines a singer as "a person who delivers." He finds the greatest joy when he feels that the emotions, moods, and messages he conveys through music truly reach his fans and audience. As an artist, he continuously strives to refine both the technical and emotional aspects of his craft, knowing that true delivery is never easy. This relentless self-examination and effort are what he believes in—the value of constantly shaping and improving oneself. Life Pattern Korea.
From the tough early days as a trainee, where he fought through uncertainty, to the debut period when each new fan felt like a miracle, and the golden years of BTOB, where they all stood at their peak—his story is a testament to perseverance. Through The Moderate Person, Lee Chang-sub shares his journey of never settling, always pushing forward. For anyone who is still in progress, this book offers moments of reflection, allowing readers to see fragments of their own journey in his words. Life Pattern Korea.

📕 어른의 행복은 조용하다
Adult Happiness is Quiet
Wisdom on Living Your Own Life Without Being Shaken in a Noisy World.
Not a guide on how to find happiness, but 58 life stories that build resilience against unhappiness.

Essayist Taesoo, beloved for 1cm Diving and Home in Home, returns with Adult Happiness is Quiet, his first new work in two years. In this latest book, Taesoo offers a more mature and insightful perspective on approaching happiness in life. To those who chase excitement, novelty, and the thrill of standing above others, he gently reminds us that happiness isn’t just about reaching for more—it begins with not becoming unhappy. Life Pattern Korea.
Adult Happiness is Quiet speaks of developing a firm and unshakable attitude toward life, even amidst the clamor of the world. Instead of seeking loud and grand moments of joy, it emphasizes the importance of crafting days free of distress and misfortune. True happiness, the book reassures us, comes when we stop actively searching for it and instead focus on creating a life of steadiness and peace. Life Pattern Korea.
Early readers have already showered the book with praise: “On days I feel like crying, I turn to Taesoo’s writing—to cry fully and then move forward.” Others have compared it to Inconvenient Convenience Store, saying, “It’s been a long time since I wished a book would never end.” The manuscript's early excerpts shared on social media sparked a flood of requests for its quick release in book form. Life Pattern Korea.
Now, it’s your turn. Adult Happiness is Quiet will help you find a wise and lasting happiness. Some may still question whether happiness can truly be found in such a quiet life. But the author responds with unwavering certainty: “Absolutely.” Life Pattern Korea.

📕 나의 폴라 일지
My Polar Journal
A land without sovereignty, currency, or borders—the end of the world, the farthest place on Earth one can imagine. A frozen expanse that exists like a distant white light. A place where ice replaces stakes, where floating ice drifts to the shore in the morning, and where the sound of collapsing ice walls echoes in the distance. A realm where penguins, whales, moss, rocks, and permafrost remain in their natural state. The author confesses a deep yearning to experience the overwhelming awe of a world untouched by humanity and its civilization—not as a fleeting tourist but as someone who lingers long enough to become smaller, simpler, and humbler as a member of the human species. Life Pattern Korea.
Visiting an Antarctic research station was a long-held dream for the author, even before becoming a writer—yet an opportunity never came easily. Multiple attempts failed until, at last, a breakthrough arrived when the author was granted a special reporting position for The Hankyoreh. This designation made it possible to embark on the journey under extraordinary circumstances. After being appointed as a special correspondent, the author underwent extensive survival and safety training, akin to what summer research expedition members receive from the Korea Polar Research Institute. Finally, on February 1, 2024, the author set foot on Antarctic soil. Life Pattern Korea.
The journey began on January 27, departing from South Korea and waiting at Punta Arenas, Chile—the gateway to Antarctica—before finally reaching the frozen continent. Over nearly a month, the author stayed at South Korea’s King Sejong Station, encountering the region’s unique flora and fauna, closely observing polar research in action, and interviewing scientists from around the world. These experiences were meticulously recorded in My Polar Journal. ...

📕 채식주의자
The Vegetarian by Han Kang
Winner of the International Booker Prize and San Clemente Literary Award, a masterpiece that captivated the world.
First published 15 years ago, Han Kang’s The Vegetarian returns in a newly designed edition.

Through its profound exploration of familial and societal expectations, The Vegetarian achieves a universal resonance, offering a haunting meditation on identity, resistance, and transformation.

📕 한국어 문법 이렇게 달라요 3rd Edition
Grammatical Pattern Expressions in Korean
This book is helpful for foreign students who want to study the difference in Korean expression. It will also be of little help to teachers who want to teach those differences well.
Korean expression sentence types were largely classified into two parts (similar in meaning and similar in form). The sentences with similar meanings were compared/contrasted by dividing the categories by functions such as cause and reason, list of facts, purpose and intention, choice, continuity of situation, order of time, concession, conditions and assumptions, causative, passive, speculation, and results. The headings for each functional category were presented in the languages of 12 countries with many Korean language learners, including China, Vietnam, and Mongolia.
The beginning of each grammar item is structured with a dialogue, so that learners can understand the context of the situation in which the expression sentence pattern is used. As a special appendix, the core grammar was summarized and provided in Chinese.
Korean example/conversation MP3 files provided.

📕 하늘과 바람과 별과 시 (한글+영문판)
Heaven and Wind and Stars and Poems (Korean + English)
This special edition combines both the original Korean text and an English translation, crafted for readers eager to experience Yun Dong-ju's poetry in both languages.

The Sensitivity and Struggle That Awakened a Nation: The Poetic Spirit of Korea’s Most Beloved Poet
Yun Dong-ju is celebrated as a national poet who infused his lyrical verse with love for his homeland and an earnest hope for independence, even amid the grim reality of colonial rule. His poetry intertwines Christian values, the desire for liberation, and the anguish of not becoming a revolutionary, while also offering tender depictions of the world through the eyes of children. Yun expressed sincere emotions in simple, heartfelt language, pioneering a new poetic style that resonated with many. Life Pattern Korea. Jung Ji-yong, a poet who deeply influenced Yun and later introduced "Easily Written Poem" in the Kyunghyang Newspaper, once praised him, saying, “Had Yun Dong-ju lived, Korean poetry would have flourished even more.” Life Pattern Korea.
The poems in this posthumous collection reflect Yun’s profound sense of displacement from his homeland, an obsession with death symbolized by darkness, and a determined existential will. The recurring imagery of darkness and night throughout his work captures the despair, fear, and sorrow of his time, highlighting a tragic worldview rooted in his harsh awareness of reality. Yet, amidst the shadows, his poems reveal ideals and hopes for what is unchanging, embodying the prophetic voice of a poet who endured the darkness of Japanese colonialism. Life Pattern Korea. This lyrical foundation is what continues to leave a lasting impression on readers, making Yun Dong-ju’s poetry timeless and beloved to this day. Life Pattern Korea.

📕 도쿄 호텔 도감
Tokyo Hotel Sketch
A hotel is more than just a place to stay—it is a space designed for travel and relaxation. But when an architect visits a hotel, what do they observe first? Life Pattern Korea.
One of the greatest joys of traveling is the anticipation of staying at a hotel. Many people spend significant time and money choosing the perfect accommodation, carefully selecting a place that meets their needs. As they stay, they marvel at the details or, at times, find faults in the design. Architects, too, share this experience, but with a unique perspective. They analyze how these short-term living and service spaces are structured, sometimes discovering moments of pure architectural delight. Life Pattern Korea. Endo Kei, a Tokyo-based architectural designer, fell in love with the intricacies of hotel spaces while participating in hotel design projects. Tokyo Hotel Catalog is the result of his four-year journey, where he personally stayed at 22 hotels in Tokyo and its surrounding areas, meticulously measuring and sketching each space by hand. Life Pattern Korea.
