The Seoul International Book Fair is the largest book festival in Korea. As the only platform where the world and Korea meet with books, it is also a place of connection between those who write books, creators, and readers. 〈Sweets but Sours〉 is a program that introduces the first books presented at the book fair. Through 〈Sweets but Sours〉, you can meet new books before anyone else, as well as talk about new books with the author. Here are the books selected for the 2019 Seoul International Book Fair 〈Sweets but Sours〉.
