[Limited Edition] Book Talk on '믿을 구석 The Last Resort'
'Limited Edition' is a limited-edition special book curated each year around the theme of the Seoul International Book Fair. This year, 11 authors share stories of “faith” and “courage” through fiction, poetry, and essays. We reflect on whether there will still be a tiny, fragile breath of faith, like a small breathing hole, that keeps life going, even if faint and blurry. And if there is nowhere left to turn, we reflect on what we can believe in when all expectations have vanished.

ㅣModerator: Jung Yeo-Wool (Writer, Literary critic)
- Date/Time: June 19 (Thu) 11:30 – 13:00

[BBK Talk] When We Talk About 'the Best Books'
Books draw us in with beauty, joy, wisdom, and sometimes with unexpected delight. The Best Books of Korea (BBK) selection celebrates this richness by choosing 40 outstanding titles across four key themes. What defines beauty? When does a moment become wisdom? Through the insights and reflections of the judges, we explore what makes a book truly one of the best — and discover new ways of reading and encountering books along the way.
