Korean Twilight Saga Book Covers?

I don’t know guys what do you think?  I think I’m just always taken aback at how our precious saga has touched every piece of every country across the globe is what I think.  I don’t know about that BD but the rest look pretty cool, New Moon looks the best though.  Check out Breaking Dawn, so it that 800 Japanese Yen?  Someone do the math and let us know, how much is that in U.S. and Canadian and British pounds.  :)

New Moon is the best one, i like eclipse too..

8 Meagan 01.26.10 at 5:31 pm

I think the 800 on Breaking Dawn has something to do with the Library coding system.

9 PeaceLoveSeth (Team Seboo!) 01.26.10 at 5:32 pm

I like the Eclipse one the best :) More…twilighty lol :)

11 lutz_of_love 01.26.10 at 5:36 pm

Thats what I said too!

12 mAriE_ImUrCh-Ch-Ch-CherryBomb! 01.26.10 at 5:37 pm

oooohhh… me likey the Eclipse and New Moon! awesome! ^_^

13 lutz_of_love 01.26.10 at 5:38 pm

I've tried reading the books in spanish and its just not the same. The qoutes that we love so much dont sound right or the same effect. I wonder if its the same in other languages?

14 BeckaLovesTheCullenBoys 01.26.10 at 5:38 pm

I'm not thinking the 800 is Japanese Yen because that would mean Breaking Dawn costs 8.93 in USD, 9.48 in CAD, and 5.53 in GBP. The covers still look AMAZING though.

15 SCP=MRS. McLOVIN! 01.26.10 at 5:39 pm

i thought the same thing!!! lol it's almost like they should have swapped the twilight & bd covers!

16 BeckaLovesTheCullenBoys 01.26.10 at 5:40 pm

CONGRATS!!! On first and getting hitched!!!

17 Tre_Claire 01.26.10 at 5:41 pm

puurrtty :D

I LIKES HOW THEY ASIANIFIED THEM FOR THE COVERES! XD

18 lutz_of_love 01.26.10 at 5:41 pm

Congrats on First and the wedding! *hands scp a sparkly cupcake* Enjoy!

19 lutz_of_love 01.26.10 at 5:42 pm

Well you know what they say great minds think alike!

20 ForTheLove~Team LegHitchScript 01.26.10 at 5:51 pm

I love the varying colors, it shows the different stages of Bella's life and relationships.

21 cclore ~ Team CW for BD 01.26.10 at 5:57 pm

I really like the Eclipse cover. It looks like someone has read it alot.

It almost looks like the Twilight and New Moon covers are more modern.

22 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.26.10 at 6:00 pm

I tried reading it in Dutch from my cousin's book and it was soooo awful! I stopped after two pages.. I needed my original Twilight book in English and some Midnight Sun to get over it… LOL (ok, I'm overreacting, but it WAS awful :P )

23 Emerald17 01.26.10 at 6:04 pm

Aw these are pretty! Does anyone know when Breaking Dawn will be available in paper back in the UK? …Runs and hides in shame if it already is…

24 30yearoldtwifan ♥Team Nessie♥ 01.26.10 at 6:10 pm

I LOVE them! Can the US buy them? I want them, just for the cover, might end up being a collectors item. My fav is the BD one.

25 Layne - TeamMallory 01.26.10 at 6:13 pm

I like them a lot, they're so vintage and pretty. But I generally don't like seeing people on book covers. That's why I like the apple, tulip, ribbon, etc black/white/red motif of the original covers so much. I like to imagine on my own how characters would look rather than have them shown to me on the cover.

Too bad now all I see are Kristen, Rob and Tay when I re-read. Oh well.

26 anonymous 01.26.10 at 6:15 pm

ummm it's korean so it's not 800 “yen” but rather 800 “won” (yen = japanese currency and won = korean currency)

and i agree that it's probably the library coding system because 800 won is about $0.70.

27 sleepingrabbitj 01.26.10 at 6:16 pm

If 800 is in fact talking about money, Korean system is “won.” That would mean these books are less than $1.00 USD. Little over a 1000 won is about a dollar. So idk what this numbering is

28 crimsonangel 01.26.10 at 6:16 pm

The 800 is in won, the currency of Korea. Books are ridiculously cheap over there. Just one of the things I liked when I lived there.

29 30yearoldtwifan ♥Team Nessie♥ 01.26.10 at 6:18 pm

Why thats a good thing ! :) They fit there characters perfect.

30 PeaceLoveTwilight(TeamTaycob) 01.26.10 at 6:22 pm

I like them all except the BD onee :)

The New Moon cover is myy faveee

31 Layne - TeamMallory 01.26.10 at 6:22 pm

I was being facetious. heehee. I LOVE seeing them in my head when I'm reading. I wish they would invade my world more!

32 Eclipse 01.26.10 at 6:39 pm

I agree, I like using my imagination hehe

33 Layne - TeamMallory 01.26.10 at 6:42 pm

That's a bit saucy…

34 CF911 Mullet Freaking Mofo!! 01.26.10 at 7:15 pm

I want these books and I want them badly. But they cost $86 bucks. :( Hubby will never go for this.

35 FTW - Bring on Remember Me! 01.26.10 at 7:54 pm

I really like these! All except maybe the BD one. The Twilight one is my favorite!

40 LookaftermyheartIleftitwithyou 01.26.10 at 8:24 pm

OMG CONGRATS!!!

42 LookaftermyheartIleftitwithyou 01.26.10 at 8:30 pm

ew, poor you. I tried to read some from my (actually from my cousin's too :P ) yeah, cousin's, in danish. And it was aaaaaawful! The translation was terrible. and it was not at all the same thing.! I hated it, and have never touched any danish version again! :D

43 .TF09. 01.26.10 at 8:32 pm

*wants*

44 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.26.10 at 8:46 pm

The feeling that was in the scene just gets ripped out! It's awful..
I tried reading one in French (note: I am horrible in French.. LOL) and I was just LMAO because it wasn't exactly ridiculous, but I just couldn't get over it.. LOL

45 Diana 01.26.10 at 9:26 pm

the more I look at them, more they grow on me…I love them…I've always loved the Korean/Japanese/Chinese culture and the way think and live and rationalize and especially, their talent…so I love it…I've been to south Korea and I was to impressed with the way they think and how organized they were (it was a special occasion) and the words they used, how smart etc etc etc…I loved it

46 SCP=MRS. McLOVIN! 01.26.10 at 9:57 pm

O.o Sparkly cupcake for moi?! NOM NOM NOM! *giggles*

47 SCP=MRS. McLOVIN! 01.26.10 at 9:57 pm

thank you!!

48 SCP=MRS. McLOVIN! 01.26.10 at 9:59 pm

LOL @ “asianified”!!!

49 klayrahx7 01.26.10 at 9:59 pm

haha i didnt know korea had it! :]
it probably be different if i read it in korean!

50 LookaftermyheartIleftitwithyou 01.26.10 at 10:59 pm

I know. Twilight is supposed to be read in it's original language! Everything else just feels weird, and akward & terrible! Yeah, some of the parts I just really laughed like “rofl” but I still couldn't get over it!

51 CherBear87 01.26.10 at 11:19 pm

I think they're pretty… But no offense to who wrote the post but the wording in every sentence is a little confusing… I mean, i get what it says, it's just not worded and puncuated quite right. Hmmm…

52 Rachel K 01.27.10 at 2:28 am

Uh… I'm korean. letting you know that most likely is NOT the price. Prices are usually on one of the covers, either inside or on the back cover.

That's just like a serial number kind of thing. Like the lirbary dewey decimal system? Korea's book stores are very organized. They have to be because they dedicate a large section to school work books and stuff (different from work books here) and they all look the same, so they have to go by spine.

Btw, you just typed korean titles yet you said that was 800 JAPANESE yen??? It's won, and 1000 won is about a dollar

53 TeamGrayFace 01.27.10 at 3:27 am

:O They're all beautiful. I love Asian covers of books. They have a such a beautiful essence to them… :)

54 hee1017 01.27.10 at 3:45 am

I'm Korean and that is not the price of the book. It is some library number thingy :S I just searched the price of Breaking Dawn and it is about 14400 won, which is about little less than 8 pounds ;)

55 kawaiisanosuke 01.27.10 at 8:23 am

I'm agreeing with Rachel K. Thats definitely an organizational code they use in the book stores.

The Twilight series usually go for 14000-14400 won in Korea so we're looking at an average of:

12.53 U.S dollars
8.90 Euro

56 PTD ~ Team Elevator 01.27.10 at 9:24 am

Am I the only one who loves Eclipse book cover the best? *finds that everyone is staring in disbelief* What? I like New Moon cover but it just seems so… blah with the black and gold. Eclipse, on the other hand, has that fancy cloth/parchment background which makes it authentic.

I'm not too sure with Breaking Dawn cover, too. The blue doesn't match at all with the dark brown/moss green on the edges and as you can see, the color drowns out the title and makes the manga picture of Edward and Bella paler in a bad way.

57 PTD ~ Team Elevator 01.27.10 at 9:30 am

LOL @ hee1017's Doraemon avi. So adorable.

58 Selene_C333 01.27.10 at 9:31 am

I hope it's Yen, cause if it's Won then BD would cost about $0.69 American Dollars.

59 hee1017 01.27.10 at 11:15 am

Thanks :)

60 riza ♥ vamps(teamEDWARD_4ever) 01.27.10 at 12:22 pm

love the cover of eclipse. :]

61 Alice Whitlock 111 01.27.10 at 3:27 pm

Wow they're all so beautiful! There's just something about Japanese and Korean art that's really really beautiful ^^

62 Alica 01.27.10 at 6:55 pm

Look at these (the page is pretty old, though. and in German. but you can see pictures of the covers.)

63 BellasLoveFlippy -TeamCake 01.27.10 at 10:16 pm

Come on to have the quote that is your name in another language is almost blasphemy! LOL

64 CHEESEBURGERS!! 01.27.10 at 11:38 pm

Why would they put different covers on these?

…apologizing if there's an answer above and I missed it…

65 haekyung 01.28.10 at 3:04 am

you can't see the price of them on their. the 800 is the coding number but just like every other book for sale the price is by the UPC!!!!!! i should know i use to live there

66 Midnight_Sun_believer 01.28.10 at 3:11 am

these covers slightly remind me of the graphic novel that's coming out! I can't wait for that!

67 haekyung 01.28.10 at 6:16 pm

Korean money is not called YEN it is WON pronounced like WAN. Just thought I'd state that fact….I'm very protective of my Korean heritage….anyway I agree with the prices you posted.

68 LookaftermyheartIleftitwithyou 01.29.10 at 8:27 pm

yeah, it is! :D Though it CAN be acceptable in some languages, like french. -I mean, the saga shouldn't be read in french, but reading some (Edward!)quotes in french can be very sexy :D

69 BellasLoveFlippy 01.29.10 at 8:50 pm

Especially when you think of Rob saying those lines in French.. HOT!

70 LookaftermyheartIleftitwithyou 01.31.10 at 7:51 pm

yeah! That french trailer.. oh boy :D I would looove to hear Rob say it..!

71 BellasLoveFlippy 01.31.10 at 7:54 pm
