2020 Publication Trends in Korea

2020 Publication Trends in Korea   2020.02.03     Korea has fully entered a low-fertility and aging society. The number of students is rapidly decreasing, and for domestic colleges, some of the majors have been taken off the curriculum or were integrated due to a lack of applicants for 2020. This trend gives birth to new keywords for the generation such as “Millennial Generation”, “Active Senior Generation” or “Senior Generation” in our society, while on the social sensitivity side, keywords from other perspectives that were not highlighted in the society such as feminism, fairness, fragmentation, double-sidedness, and growth are emerging.   Young people familiar with media will enjoy and represent the changing times with their sensibilities.   Trend Korea 2020 is an annually published book series which launched in 2009 with Trend Korea 2010. The series consists of analysis and predictions about Korean consumption trends. The b...

Writer of the Year Award The first fruits of the rookie authors of this year   2020.02.03     If overseas publishers have one yardstick that they choose to adopt when they encounter Korean authors and works, it is whether the work received a literary award in Korea.

If there is one thing that differentiates her stories from others, it is that her works are delicate, or rather chilly in the sense that she seems to be living a different life from ordinary people. In her book Eumbok (which means to partake of sacrificial food and drink) that features ancestral rites, and in Gawon and Hand that mainly describe our daily life, she talks about psychological violence, hatred, suppression, and horror that women experience.Kang Hwa-Gil points out the sense of displacement from people’s attitude of taking things for granted when they shouldn’t.       Hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you.

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...
