Paju Book City

Paju Book City City of, for and by books   2019.10.07     There are cities that focus on creating things. Usually, in the case of these planned cities, all the businesses that provide the raw materials, packaging and shipping tend to be clustered together. Industrial zones tend to show this type of congregation as if they are sapped of romance and all the businesses simply exist for efficiency. However, the story becomes a little different if that industrial zone creates books.     Publishers that left the city   Its official name is Paju Publishing Culture Information National Industrial Zone. The name, already a mouthful, brings to mind the sound of engines, metal clanging and dust. It certainly cannot explain the entirety of what Paju Book City is. This is because the city of books has so many enticing characteristics, and it doesn't exist as a dreary space where everything focuses on production.It cannot be denied that Paju Book City was formed out of...

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...

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe   2018.06.28   As we are approaching the third quarter of this year, K-thrillers(Korean thrillers) are emerging as the new leading force in the world’s publishing market. And at the center of that whirlwind are authors like Jeong You-jeong, Kim Un-su and Seo Mi-ae. The attention on these authors - whose work can be summarized into three words: mystery, thriller, crime - has been heating up from global publishers. Not only has interest been burgeoning in Europe, especially English speaking countries there, but also in Asia. One point to note is that this interest from the global publishing market in Korean literature, especially K-thrillers, is not entirely new. Global publishers, especially those in English dominant countries, have consistently been drawn to titles in this genre. However, if that interest had not led to exports before, soft interest at home and a lack of sales marketing for these books were likely to blame. Wha...

Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges   2019.09.09     Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan.     Travel into layers of time     The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today.     For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination. It is a port city that leads to the Pacific...

The growth of K-Webtoons and strategy for global intellectual property

The growth of K-Webtoons and strategy for global intellectual property   2018.01   The emerging of Lezhin Comics, a webtoon platform, in 2013 was an important catalyst in activating paid-for content markets in South Korea and also brought about the birth of a range of cartoon platforms. Previously the webtoon services on Internet portals like Naver and Daum were free of charge and gained many fans, expanding the market, but Lezhin Comics created their own success by handling genres difficult to address in public portals(adults only content) and seizing exclusive content. They also applied paid-for services strategies that can be seen in mobile and online games.   After, similar paid-for services for adults appeared and today, Kakao Page currently leads the paid-for cartoon market after having overcome its early losses by launching a 'wait for free content' service, where readers can wait a certain amount of time to access previously paid-for content.
