K-Book Trend in Latin America Seen Through the Chilean Publishing Market

Export Case K-Book Trend in Latin America SeenThrough the Chilean Publishing Market 2022.11.07 When people make a general analysis of Korea, they often use words like “turbulent” and “dynamic.” This is closely related to the modern history of the country. Korea is located in the most unique geopolitical region in the world, and such a condition made Koreans go through many miserable moments in history; its modern history was as if it had been dropped in the middle of the turbulent sea.It is true that the historical and geopolitical environment has made Koreans experience bitter times in history. Still, just like how shells produce beautiful, precious pearls after long years of perseverance, the pain and sorrow gave Korea a rich and profound cultural heritage and a unique sensibility. As a result, you can truly find so many priceless literary works and writers in the country. However, unlike how Korea boasts many novels, stories, and poem...

Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick 2022.11.07 In Korea, there is a saying, “Autumn is the season of books.” Just like the saying, it feels as if you have to have the romantic moment of reading a book at a park, cherishing the red, falling leaves. But, on the other hand, autumn might be the season farthest from reading books. They say that people read the least in the fall. I think maybe that’s because many of them go out for a picnic in good weather.Another paradox related to books can be found in the bestsellers’ trend. If you go to a bookstore, you will see books written by popular YouTubers lining the shelves. Just look at the sales record ? non-fiction bestsellers are mostly written by YouTubers. But, according to the readership status report announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism in 2021, a majority of people, across generations and gender, said that one of the biggest reasons they cannot read books is...

The “Healing Fiction” Fever

Topic The “Healing Fiction” Fever Trending: Fiction With the Theme of Healing Space 2022.10.04 Because I work in a book review team in a press agency, I meet dozens of books every week. And, recently, novels with similar designs and colors caught my attention, and I collected them on one side of the office. Then, one day, one of my colleagues from another team came to say hello, saw the stacks, and asked, “What are they? Are they a series?” Oh, yes. They may appear to belong to the same series, as they are so similar - in terms of atmosphere, not context. Every book seems to be indistinguishable from the others. Their warm color tone, and the “thing.” They all have some “house” drawn on their covers. So, even though people say that this is the generation of non-book-readers, I thought that it was worthy enough to write an article about this phenomenon as there must be a reason for their commonality.In fact, articles about this trend have been around...
