South Korea's 'Genre Literature'

South Korea's 'Genre Literature' Jumping Beyond Korea and into the World   2017.8.18   It is a pity but before the 1990s South Korea did not have the basis for 'genre literature.' It was, perhaps, due to the situation of the country where there was no room for people to laugh and cry over various works or at times, fall into imaginary worlds beyond their dreams. The biggest reason was due to the fact the country lacked pop culture that could be loved and adored by the public following the military rule of Japan and the Korean War.     The history of South Korea's 'genre literature'   'Genre literature' in South Korea has recently been readying its wings to fly after going through many ups and downs for years. The beginning of literary genres in South Korea can be traced back to the mid-to-late 1990s when the Internet took off in South Korea. The Internet provided a place where users could fully express themselves at a time when there were not many opportunit...

Independent Publishing

Independent Publishing Movement in South Korea's Publishing Industry Worth Noting The Age of 'Independent Publishing'   2017.7.28   Recently in South Korea, independent bookstores are gaining increasingly more attention, especially among younger Koreans. As a testament to this, the number of independent bookstores has been on the rise after being pushed to the brink of extinction by large bookstores, online booksellers and a general decline in the number of book readers. At an event not too long ago where 20 independent bookstores introduced and sold books at Seoul's international book fair, many visitors came to see what it was all about. This section takes a look at the reasons behind this recent trend.     1. The place where 'concepts' are sold, not 'books' The biggest advantage independent bookstores have is that they can make their own 'concept' - something difficult for larger bookstores to risk. Large bookstores aim to sell books to all readers and so they o...
