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.

The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction

Topic   The MZ Generation Reads New Non-Fiction   2021.09.06   When did the golden age of non-fiction begin?   There is a genre that boasts of being at the best place in the bookstores. It is non-fiction, in particular essays, a genre where people speak frankly about their personal stories."The golden era of non-fiction has arrived" has become too clich?. Essays were once treated as "useless writings" until the beginning of the 2000s, when novels or books about money and economics prevailed in the markets. However, as mega-hit essay collections emerged entering the 2010s, such underestimation dissipated. Publishers, who belatedly realized that essays make money, have begun to fiercely launch essay collections into the market.For example, Kim Nan-Do’s You Become an Adult After Wavering for Thousand Times (Munhakdongne Publishing), Hyemin Sunim’s The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down (Suo Books), Lee Byung-Ryul’s Attraction (Dal Publishers), and Lee Oi-Su...

Zeen Scene

Korean Publishers   Zeen Scene The true essence of everyday moments hidden in authentic scenery   2025.08.04   When we encounter a rare or exceptional moment or scene, we often say, “I’ve encountered something authentic.” In a literal sense, it refers to something rarely seen, but when interpreted through emotion, the term conveys both delight and joy. Perhaps that’s why books from the publisher ‘True Scenery’ spark the curiosity of readers simply by their existence. Those who open the books may find themselves encountering the true essence of spaces, objects, and daily life. In this issue of K-Book Trends’ Korean Publishers, we spoke with Zeen Scene’s CEO, Kim Jin-Hee, about the reality she sees and how she hopes to convey it through her books.   The logo of Zeen Scene     It’s a pleasure to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

10 Keywords: South Korea's publishing industry in 2017 at a glance

10 Keywords: South Korea's publishing industry in 2017 at a glance   2017.12.01     Candlelight Revolution   The book Candlelight Revolution with the subtitle "Winter of 2016, Spring of 2017 - History Written by Light" is a collection of 484 photographs categorized into 45 themes that captures seven key events that led to the impeachment of now-former South Korean president Park Geun-hye in May this year. It is a striking but touching panorama of images bringing together the wishes of the 17 million people who asked, "Is this a country?" while holding candlelight vigils to bring down Park’s administration.   Park, accused of graft and improper usage of power, was impeached by the candlelight revolution launched by the people and incumbent President Moon Jae-in was subsequently elected in May. It was a historical step forward, the first such event in 30 years since the declaration of democracy from a military government in 1987. While the administration was in...
