Seoul Int’l Book Fair Back Full-Scale in Analog World

The annual Seoul International Book Fair will return full-scale to the real world for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic started, running at COEX from June 1 to 5.

The fair was held online in 2020 due to the pandemic and offline on a reduced scale in central Seoul last year.

This year’s guest country of honor is literary powerhouse Colombia, which marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties with Korea. In turn, Korea was the guest of honor at the Bogota Book Fair that ended earlier this month.

A number of events will keep visitors entertained, including an exhibition of the 30 most beautiful books from the last three years in Korea.
