"Book Landscape" is a private small library operated by literary critic Park Youngjin, which has served as a local cultural hub by hosting annual humanities lectures and reading culture events.

Now in its 15th year, this Book Concert will feature an author signing event, a book talk, and a publication celebration, providing a venue for direct exchange between authors and readers as they sit down together and share stories.

This year's event will be joined by several actively engaged writers in the literary world, including Lee Sujeong (winner of the 4th Gochang Shin Jae-hyo Literary Award, known for "Supporting Actor Kim Sunhyo"), Lee Jeongrok ("Wave is WaveWaveWave"), Bae Gongsun ("Shall We Make a Masterpiece?"), and Yang Jinmo ("Moonlight Stage"). They will introduce their own literary worlds, share their creative journeys, and discuss the meaning of literature through Q&A sessions with readers.

To keep the excitement of the Book Concert going, a special performance stage has also been arranged. Singer-songwriter "Namoo&" and soprano Lim Hyunjin will present a musical performance that will capture the mood of an autumn night. This stage, blending classical and popular music, is expected to harmonize with the literary atmosphere and further enrich the event.

Na Yunok, head of the county's Department of Culture and Arts, said, "I hope this Book Concert will be a meaningful time for local residents to communicate and share their thoughts through books," adding, "We ask for the active interest and participation of the community."
