A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers!

Export Case   A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers! The import case of Uncanny Convenience Store published by Shogakukan in Japan   2023.10.04   It was two years ago, in the fall of 2021, when I first heard about Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) through an email from a Japanese agent. At that point, the book had already gone through 15 printings in Korea, sold close to 100,000 copies, and had been adapted for drama and theater, which was enough to pique my interest. But it was the title and content of the novel that made me even more intrigued. It’s a “convenience store,” but inconvenient? What a humorous title! My interest in the book grew further. And the story of a tall, mysterious man with no memory becoming a convenience store clerk, and influencing the lives of those around him, was fascinating. As convenience stores are an integral part of modern life in Japan, we knew that this story would appeal to the Japanese public. Th...

One-Liner Quotes   The Women We Don’t Want to Know Bookstore Manager’s Pick: Korean Books   2023.10.04   Park Gyeoul is a manager at Yes 24, Gangseo NC branch. She has been working at a bookstore for 6 years now, which started from her experience working part-time at a bookstore. She particularly loves to hear compliments for her book curations. She likes to read fiction, social science, science, and humanities books in her free time.     There’s a book I got to read at a book-reading meeting after becoming curious about it when someone left a review on Twitter.

It’s the book #plandid: Deciphering the “Pic of the Day” Trend Among Girls (Maybooks). I like books that are ridiculously unique ? books that eit...

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.   ...
