Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication   2020.03.02     The publication industry is “a mirror called record” that reflects the society. The publication of history-related books that are the archive of time and space connecting the past and the present is a clear indicator that shows Korean society’s interest in history. By looking at the published titles, best seller trends, and newly emerging trends, you can see where the current publishing market is and where the intellectual desire of readers is heading to.Historically, Korea has undergone long turbulent generations due to its geopolitical location in East Asia and invasions by surrounding powers.
