South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets

South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets 2018.07.31 South Korean literature has recently been entering a number of different countries with different languages, instead of focusing on one language or one country. The situation has shifted from before, when South Korean original novels would find demand after a film or television adaptation gained in popularity or vice versa. This shows South Korean literature’s presence in the global publishing market and that Korean literature has been gaining in competitiveness in a number of different markets. Around the time of the New York Rights Fair that was held recently from late May to early June, Lee Ji-min’s novel Marilyn and Me (That Book) was introduced to the market and since then has been the subject of great interest. This novel tells the story of Marilyn Munroe and her interpreter Alice in the February of 1954, just after the Korean War ended in a truce. The story of the two women...

Interview with author Soon-won Lee

Interview with author Soon-won Lee Pure Korean Literature, Shining Lyricism 2017.11.01 Works by novelist Soon-won Lee are pure, traditional and nature-centric. He has lived some 30 years as a novelist and his writing at times has been published in textbooks or produced into short television films. His works, known for their deep Korean narratives, are now garnering attention overseas. There is a saying that the most traditional things are usually the most global, which would explain why his pure, Korean writing has been gaining interest outside of the country. We spoke to the novelist on his recently exported the whale who returned to the sea, where he gets his inspiration from, what Korean literature needs now and going forward among other things. KPIPA We are delighted to feature you on our webzine. Could you introduce yourself for our readers? Soon-won Lee Hello, I am Korean novelist Soon-won Lee. I am 60 years old and I have been writing novels from when...
