The History and Characteristics of South Korean Copyright Legislation 2019.06.10 Copyright born from publications, publishing industry bolstered by copyright Copyright came to be thanks to the evolution of publishing, but now, the publishing industry is becoming fitter thanks to copyright. The Korean word 'jeojakgwon' comes from the English word 'copyright'. After the world's first copyright law was established in 1809 in the U.K., this word has been used allacross the globe. To directly define this word, it refers to the right to copy or make duplicates of something.

Korean Picture Books Today

Topic Korean Picture Books Today Closing the 2023 Korea Picture Book Award 2024.01.02 In November 2023, the winners of the first Korea Picture Book Award, organized by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism and the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA), were announced. Eight titles and publishers were honored in the grand prize, special prize, and rookie prize categories for fiction and nonfiction. Considering the size of the prize and the diverse range of winning titles, it was a good start for a new award system. The “picture book” genre is not yet fully established in the Korean publishing industry. For example, in large bookstores, “picture books” are placed in a subcategory of the pre-school category. However, the fact that we were able to clearly recognize “picture books” as a single artistic genre and reach a consensus in the screening process to organize an “award for picture books” is thanks to the strong growth of th...

One-Liner Quotes Time to Dive Into Korean History Lawyer’s Pick 2024.01.02 Jung Hye-Jin is a Korean lawyer, who wrote the books May It Please the Court (Mirae Books) and When Names Become Law (Dongnyok Publishers). Just thinking about Korea’s evolved reputation on the international scene makes me giddy. When I first went to the US over 30 years ago, and when I lived in the UK 20 years ago to study, one of the common phrases I heard was, “Where are you from, China or Japan?” Korea is no longer the country it used to be, when it didn’t have a distinct identity in the minds of Westerners. Kimchi, once unwelcome in dormitory communal kitchens because of its smell, has become a global favorite.
