12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam

Export Case 12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam 2022.06.07 Nha Nam is one of the leading literary book publishing companies in Vietnam, and one of our main goals is to introduce the world's literary works to Vietnamese readers. Since our founding in 2005, Nha Nam has purchased the rights to many works from the UK, France, USA, Germany, Canada, China, and Japan and accomplished certain achievements. However, at the time, although we were keen to publish Korean books, we had quite a few difficulties finding books and contacting Korean copyright owners. Moreover, we did not have much information about Korean literature, nor did we have editors who could read and translate Korean. We could only refer to information through other languages such as English, French or Chinese. At that time, although not many Korean literary books were published, Korean dramas were widely known in Vietnam, so we decided to experiment with the book that had b...

Topic Korea’s Publishing Trend- The World Literature Complete Collection 2022.05.02 At the end of a recently finished drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book titled I Like Early Summer written by Lee Na-Eun, was shown. The book does not exist in reality since it was a prop. The name Lee Na-Eun was the name of the drama's screenwriter. The book continuously shows itself as one of the key items connecting the main characters. It revealed itself in the last episode as a gift to viewers.Many viewers would have noticed that the book is similar to Minumsa Publishing Company's World Literature Series. The upper half is filled with a drawing, and the lower half is covered with a white background and a single-colored title. The cover's structure is a symbol of Minumsa's collection. The fact that people recognized the book by its cover shows how much Koreans are familiar with the collection. In the drama, “Our Beloved Summer,” a book th...

Secondhand Bookstore Manager’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Secondhand Bookstore Manager’s Pick 2022.05.02 Before I began to work at a secondhand bookstore, I used to visit Japan and have chats with people working at used bookstores. They were mostly on the books, but sometimes we moved on to talking about the language itself. If you think of a secondhand bookstore in Tokyo, the first regions that come to mind would be Jinbocho or Kanda. But after discovering that there are unique used bookstores around the central subway line, I traveled to the suburbs of Tokyo.Then, one day, a worker at a secondhand bookstore near the central subway asked me to recommend him a Korean book. The bookstore he was at was a popular spot for foreign students studying at nearby universities, most of whom are from different countries and are great fans of Korean dramas. So, taking this as a chance, he created a group with some like-minded customers to study the Korean language and wanted me to recommend a...
