K-BOOK to the WORLD: National Library of Korea's K-Content Special Exhibition in Seoul
From a Single Book to the World: K-BOOK to the WORLD
This special exhibition begins with the perspective that "the origin of K-content was books." Bringing together ancient texts, manuscripts, translated works, magazines, vinyl records, and video materials, it showcases how Korean stories have been recorded, read, and expanded into K-dramas, films, webtoons, K-POP, and other diverse content forms. The exhibition reveals the journey where records of the past become today's content, and today's K-content in turn becomes tomorrow's cultural heritage. The National Library of Korea aims to illuminate both the depth of Korean archival culture and its global reach through a fresh exhibition experience connecting books with K-content.
