Original Books, Read (and Understood)
Translator Kang Joo-heon's Grammar Tool Usage. The title is a bit unfamiliar, but this is a well-made book filled with the know-how of a famous translator.
Translation in Conflict
Translator Yoon Young-sam studied translation at the University of Birmingham in the UK. He is a translator with a strong sense of tradition. He has also included English translation problems (?) that can be practiced with examples. Small tips and comments on practical work will be very helpful.

How to Become a Translator
Translator Kim Taek-gyu has 20 years of experience. His sharp analysis and insights from his experience are impressive essays. It is full of useful information, a thin book, but it is a book I would definitely like to share with aspiring translators.

Anyway, Knitting
This is an essay and a book about translation by translator Seora-mi. There are knitting stories, but there is a lot of content about translation. It is not for academic or informational purposes, and as it is the translator's hobby, it is attractive in that you can feel the translator's life itself. With a passion for knitting and a smooth writing style that is fitting for a translator, she has compiled a warm essay.

Translator Momo's Daily Life
This is an essay about translation by two translators, Noh Seung-young and Park San-ho. I enjoyed reading it just as much as I enjoyed "Anyway, Knitting." The soft title is a bit misleading, but the content is surprisingly substantial.

Betrayal of Words
This is another book by translator Park San-ho, whom I learned about from the book above. You can learn about English words that are familiar but have deep meanings and various meanings in a fun way. If you have a goal of studying English, read it lightly!
