KCCN September Book Discusssion: Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum
- Post DateSep 25, 2026

What makes us love books? Is it the stories they tell, the worlds they open up to us, or the people and places we discover through them?
This September, the Korean Cultural Centre Nigeria invites you to step into the warm and thoughtful world of Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop by Hwang Bo-reum — a story about books, community, slowing down, and finding meaning in unexpected places.
Inspired by the cosy culture of Korean book cafés and the bookshop at the heart of the novel, our discussion will explore why we read, why bookshops matter, and how books can bring people together.
We will also hear from a Nigerian bookshop owner, sharing her personal journey of creating a space around books and reflecting on her experiences alongside Yeongju, the novel's protagonist.
Whether you've finished the book, are still reading, or simply love the feeling of being surrounded by books, come join the conversation.
📖 Come for the book. Stay for the stories, connections and community.
