Following it are novels by Kim Aeran and Kim Geumhee in second and third place respectively. Yoo Si-min's 'Youth's Reading', which held the number one position for 5 weeks, has dropped to fourth place. The interest in domestic novels is rising, particularly among female readers in their 30s and 40s.
