Longest No.1 Record Held by Ichiro Kishimi's 'The Courage to Be Disliked'

'The Teachings of Seino' has achieved 19 weeks at number one on the Kyobo Bookstore weekly bestseller list for the fourth week of July. Since its release on March 2, it has maintained the top spot except for two weeks. Although it briefly lost the number one position to 'Science Study of a Liberal Arts Man' and 'Beyond the Story,' it reclaimed the top spot and is setting new records.

According to Kyobo Bookstore, the longest-running bestseller number one since 2000 is Ichiro Kishimi's 'The Courage to Be Disliked' (2014). It held the number one spot for 51 consecutive weeks, leading the 'Adler psychology' craze. Kim Nando's 'Because It's Painful, It's Youth' (2010) stayed at number one for 34 weeks, and Hyemin's 'Things Seen Only When Stopped' (2012) held the top spot for 31 weeks. All three are humanities essays that comfort readers' hearts.

Following these, Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code. 1' (2004) and 'The Secret' (2007) held number one for 30 weeks. 'The Secret' was also the annual bestseller number one for two consecutive years, 2007?2008. Only two books have been annual bestsellers for two consecutive years in history, with 'Things Seen Only When Stopped' topping the list in 2012?2013.

Next, Joaquim de Posada's 'The Marshmallow Story' (2005) was number one for 29 weeks, Lee Ki-joo's 'The Temperature of Language' (2016) for 25 weeks, and Cho Chang-in's 'The Thorn Fish' (2000) for 23 weeks.

Kyobo Bookstore stated, "Since 2000, 'The Teachings of Seino' ranks ninth among bestsellers," adding, "Considering the steady weekly sales trend, it is expected to remain at number one for some time."
