Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers Successful import case of Prapanca Press in Israel   2023.11.06   The Hebrew-language book market is paradoxically both large and small. While there are only about two million active Hebrew readers, who read at least once a week, close to 7,000 new titles are published each and every year in Israel. In other words, whereas the book market is rather small in terms of readers, it is considerably large, vigorous, and diverse in terms of contents. Approximately 20% of Hebrew book publications are translations, almost all of which are translations from English, in addition to a few translations from other European languages such as Russian and Spanish.Regrettably, to date, very few Korean titles were able to reach the Hebrew book market. Although the novels of Shin Kyung-sook and Jeong You-jeong, as well as a few others, have been published in Hebrew and received in Israel with some enthusiasm, the translation...

The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT

Topic   [Publishing & AI] The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT   2023.10.04   In 2016, Lee Se-Dol, one of the world’s greatest Go players, faced off against Alpha Go, an artificial intelligence (AI) program developed by Google’s Deep Mind, which was like the match of the century. Few expected Lee to lose, and Lee Se-Dol was humble enough to say he might lose one out of five games. But a few days later, the internet was abuzz with news of Lee’s shock defeat by Alpha Go. That was the beginning. Lee Se-Dol managed to get one win after a string of losses. His overall score was 1-4. In retrospect, the idea of a human beating Alpha Go, which had learned every recorded move in the game, was almost impossible. It was just that people didn’t realize the immense power of AI at the time.Fast-forward seven years to 2023 in Korea, and AI is being utilized across industries.

From YouTube to Books

Topic   From YouTube to Books   2023.09.04   It was common to find books written by YouTubers on bookstore shelves in Korea this year. It is a phenomenon that has been around for a couple of years now, when publishers realized that they could turn subscribers into readers, and quickly started to sign popular YouTubers as authors. Even if you have never heard of the channel before, it is not hard to tell that the book’s author runs a YouTube channel. This is because, among other things, the copy on the book’s cover, “YouTube channel ○○○ with 10 million total views,” emphasizes the author’s experience more than anything else. I have a YouTube channel with 130,000 subscribers, and my new book has never been without a copy like this. It seems to have become one of the most important tasks for editors to draft a copy with up-to-date total subscribers and total views every time a new book is published.   ...

From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature

Topic   From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature   2023.08.07   Korean mystery literature originated in the unique conditions of the Japanese occupation. Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918. Most of the works serialized in newspapers at the time were re-translations of works by Ruiko Kuriowa, a Japanese author of adapted novels. By the 1920s, adapted mystery novels moved out of newspapers and were published in magazines such as Hacksaengkye, Chungnyeon, and Dongmyung, and emphasized that they were intellectual works for readers with a certain level of reading ability, such as educated young adults and students.However, the writers who translated and wrote mystery literature w...
