Today and Tomorrow of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System

Publishing Industry   Today and Tomorrow of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System   2023.09.04         Current status of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System (KOPDS)   When Song-In Books, a large South Korean book wholesaler, went bankrupt in 2017, many publishers were left in a state of chaos. Publishers suffered a lot of losses because they were unable to keep track of which books were in which bookstores, and how many copies were in stock and sold. This prompted the creation of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System (KOPDS), which was built in accordance with the Fourth Five-Year Plan for the Promotion of Publishing Culture, reflecting the need to build an advanced distribution system for the publishing industry. The system was launched in Sept...

It’s because the “fixed book price policy” is implemented as the book price policy in accordance with the Publishing Industry Promotion Act.

Publishing Industry   How are Regional Publishers in Korea Thriving? Cooperation of local publishers seen through the Somewhere, Someone series   2023.03.13         I’m living in a village by the ocean in Goseong County, Gangwon-do Province. The first thing I do in the morning is take a walk on the shore in front of the village with my dog. Once I reach the shore, I take off the leash for him to move around freely, and check orders from bookstores on a number of applications.
