Song Hee-gu's "My First Real Estate Textbook" claimed the No. 1 spot for a second consecutive week in Kyobo Book Centre's comprehensive bestseller rankings for the fourth week of June. Public interest in the new release rose as the author appeared on various economic YouTube channels.

Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha" continued its formidable climb, rising to second place.

In the comics category, Wayama Yama's new release "Let's Go to a Family Restaurant" landed at fourth place upon its publication. Unlike other Japanese manga that mostly run as long-running series, it drew attention by completing its series in just two volumes. Earlier works such as "Let's Go to Karaoke" and "The Girls' Star" gained great popularity, forming a substantial fan base in Korea. The purchase share among female readers in their 20s was close to 50 percent, while female readers accounted for an overwhelming 92.9 percent.
