One of the most influential literary magazines in Korea

Munhakdongne, or literary community, is a quarterly publication playing a leading role in contemporary Korean literature. It was established in 1994 by a group of young poets and critics who shared a common interest in literary innovations. Since then, the magazine has continued to enjoy the widest circulation among Korean literary journals.

Each issue offers a critical guide to the present literary scene as well as new works by leading Korean writers in various literary genres. The publication aims to foster an intellectual environment that is conducive to literary writing, and promotes dialogue between writers, critics and others of literary circles. Most important literary movements of contemporary Korean literature are expressed in the works introduced in the magazine.

When the first issue was published, Kang Taehyong, president of Munhakdongne publishing company, said, "Munhakdongne keeps open to any kind of writing activity aimed at invigorating the literary culture in Korean society. Its primary purpose is to provide an extensive arena for all the writers who dedicate themselves to authentic literary art."
