Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑥ Self-Development Publications

As they are not specified to a particular genre, some books of this kind are put on the boundary between different fields or have several genres mixed in them.

As such, these books give courage and hope to their readers encouraging them that they can do whatever they resolve to do. The sales revenue of self-develop...

Therefore, books that professionals wrote in an easier language are like a guide that fills the knowledge gap of the readers. Adding to the traditional way of publishing paper books, science books have become widely popular though entertainment programs on TV or Social Media. This phenomenon has led to the m...
