Healing narratives

With Han Kang winning the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature, South Korean literature has quickly become a prominent force on the global stage.

In recent years, alongside the works of renowned authors, another genre of South Korean literature — healing novels — has also been gaining traction in Western countries. The Economist has likened this trend to K-pop, dubbing it "K-healing".

Healing novels typically focus on everyday life, with characters gathering in places like convenience stores, bookshops, and libraries to share their stories. They often feature traditional "healing elements" such as cats, ice cream, and coffee.

These novels have simple plots that allow readers to easily immerse themselves and find comfort in the narrative.

Popular titles in this genre include Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop and The Inconvenient Convenience Store.

According to Jiemian News, some critics suggest that K-healing serves as a response to the stress of South Korea's competitive culture. Characters in these novels often struggle with work exhaustion or job setbacks before opting to liberate themselves from real-life pressures in search of more meaningful pursuits.

These works have become incredibly popular among South Korean readers in recent years, consistently dominating nearly half of the sales charts at major chain bookstores like Kyobo Bookstore.

Several well-known international publishers, such as Bloomsbury, Hachette, and HarperCollins, have also published or acquired K-healing novels.
