On September 22, Millie's Library announced that it would introduce recommended content for the Chuseok holiday across a variety of formats, including paper books, audiobooks, web novels, and webtoons. The service has also prepared curation programs to help users finish books they've set aside, making it easier to complete reading lists.

The paper book imprint "Originals" by Millie's Library recommends works in psychology, self-growth, and mystery genres. "Covering Depression" by American clinical psychologist Margaret Robinson Rutherford is a psychological guidebook addressing perfectionism and suppressed emotions. "Self-Defense Club" by Kim Ji-yoon tells the story of wounded individuals who find growth together in a self-defense club. Jo Ye-eun's new novel "Followers of the Green Cliff" is a mystery occult narrative centered on a pseudo-religion incident and revenge.

For those traveling to visit family or returning home, audiobooks are suggested. "People Who Continue Quietly," which follows the story of saxophonist Brandon Choi, was co-produced by Millie's Library and KT Genie Music, with narration by singer Evan. In addition to the Korean edition, translated texts in English and Japanese are also available.

For holiday-themed reading, Professor Kim Young-min's "It's Good to Think About Death in the Morning" is recommended. This book includes the much-discussed column "What is Chuseok?"

For binge-reading or viewing during the extended holiday, web novels and webtoons are highlighted. These include J. Robin's "Mess Cook Becomes a Legend," Yeonsan-ho's "Becoming the Light in the Dark Sea," set in a deep-sea base 3000 meters below, as well as the webtoons "Aksesari," "Forest, Camper Van, and Cat," and more.

The audio web novel "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint" is also on the list of recommendations. Based on the original work that has surpassed 240 million cumulative views, this long-form fantasy spans 3,149 episodes and features performances by more than 30 voice actors.

Additional curation to help with book completion is also available. The "Challenge! Complete Reading Challenge" encourages readers to finally finish one of the so-called "brick books" they've never been able to tackle, especially over the long holiday. The "Millie's Legend File" section gathers and introduces books and essays revisited by members, highly-rated books, business and economics titles, and Booker Prize winners and nominees. The "Library of Inspiration" features book recommendations from experts in various fields.

Seongho Lee, Head of the Dokseodang Division at Millie's Library, said, "For the Chuseok holiday, we have structured a wide variety of content so that users can enjoy reading according to their individual circumstances, whether it be during travel, breaks, or binge-reading. We hope everyone enjoys expansive reading experiences, from paper books and audiobooks to web novels, webtoons, and our curated reading programs."
