What does Seoul Selection stand for?
Seoul Selection means "Select Korean Goods Available in Seoul." In this age of information overload and mass marketing, we want to play the part of a dependable guide. We aim to help those looking for a taste of Korean culture to easily find quality samples. Whereas "collection" often refers to an exclusive assemblage of art or coveted items, "selection" lets one choose. In that sense, we give our customers access to affordable and appealing cultural works worthy of their attention. That is our basic philosophy.

Shop for Korean Cultural/Intellectual Products
Seoul Selection offers books about Korean art, literature, architecture, religion, and other topics translated into English, German, French, Japanese and Chinese. We also carry Korean films on DVD with English, Japanese and Chinese subtitles. Music lovers will find traditional and contemporary Korean music on CD, while children can explore Korean folk tales and other stories. Some gift and art items are also available for purchase. You can browse all of these selections, order espresso drinks and access the Internet at our store near Gyeongbokgung Palace.
For those who stay abroad or regional cities, Seoul Selection runs its own Internet shopping mall (www.seoulselection.com).

Publisher of a Cultural Events Newsletter
Seoul Selection's free newsletter SEOUL WEEKLY provides a wealth of information about upcoming cultural events such as concerts, exhibitions, and festivals. The weekly newsletter also carries synopses of recently arrived books, CDs, and DVDs. Regular columns like "Streetwise in Seoul" provide practical information to make your stay in Korea more enjoyable and safe. In addition, the newsletter is a great source for news about events arranged by or for the foreign community.

Translation Service
Seoul Selection's translation service is handled by an array of excellent translators, most having studied in English-speaking countries and possessing at least five years of experience. Our familiarity with both cultures as well as the Korean and English languages assures that nothing is lost in the translation. We meticulously convert English into Korean and vice versa, and can provide prospective clients with a sample translation of up to five pages, depending on the size of the contract.

Book Export Agency
Korean books have made brilliant progress and deserve to be appreciated by a global readership. In particular, children's books have recently shown remarkable growth in quality and number and are ready to venture into overseas markets. In cooperation with many renowned publishing houses, Seoul Selection translates promising books into English and plays a crucial role in introducing the world to Korean scholarship and creativity. Seoul Selection also supplies books in Korean to bookstores serving the Korean community abroad.
