One-Liner Quotes   Comfort Across Time: The Global Spotlight on K-Literature, Past, Present, and Future     2026.03     Korean culture is now transcending domestic production to become a core subject for major global studios, deeply embedding itself into the daily lives of people worldwide. This is evidenced by the global animation 〈K-Pop: Demon Hunters〉, which dominated algorithms in 2025, and the film 〈Past Lives〉, produced by the renowned Hollywood studio A24. The allure of K-Culture, which has captivated the global gaze, shines even more intensely within its literature.

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday, Talks About Korean Literature

Export Case   Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday,Talks About Korean Literature   2025.11.03   Just a decade ago, there was a prevailing belief that Korean literature could not be globalized because of linguistic and translational barriers. However, with the improvement of translation and global readers’ growing eagerness for a wider range of stories, Korean content began to draw closer to them. It eventually settled in as its own genre under the name “K-content,” now recognized worldwide. Korean literature, in particular, proved this trend with Han Kang’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Yet, many Korean works remain undiscovered internationally. At the “2025 Copyright Export Support Program,” organized by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI) this past September, we met Jane Lawson, publishing director at Doubleday, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, and discussed Korean literature.   ...

A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑧] A City on the Mirror-Like Surface of Water: Stockholm   2025.08.04       The nickname “Venice of Scandinavia” is not quite accurate for Stockholm. While Stockholm and Venice share a common ground in that they are both comprised of several islands and countless bridges connecting them, Stockholm is much smaller and quieter than Venice. People in Stockholm are adept at having conversations without much gesturing, while naturally maintaining an appropriate distance between themselves. However, in the summer, especially in August, the city transforms into a completely different place. The sun shines on the city well past nine in the evening, and people smile and chat with each other at a slightly closer distance than usual. It might be in an outdoor caf?, or on a boat rocking gently, or on the steps of Stockholm City Hall, where the Nobel P...

The Meaning Behind Korea’s “Copybook” Craze

Topic   The Meaning Behind Korea’s “Copybook” Craze The Analog Comeback in a Digital Age   2025.05.07   The Return of Analog Sensibility with “Text-Hip” Culture   Professor Kim Nan-Do, author of the book Trend Korea 2025 (Mirae Books), picked the “appeal of materiality” as one of the consumer trends in Korea this year. It is the power to make people not only appreciate content with their eyes, but also want to touch it physically. This is manifested in the “materialization of content” phenomenon. Kim explains that in the age of immateriality, where everything is digitized, people still crave something they can experience with their hands. This explains the recent craze for “transcription books” in the Korean book and publishing market. It is an era where all information is reduced to images and videos. People exposed to all kinds of digital content are now seeking the pleasure of holding a pen, touching paper, and seeing the contents of a book in ...
