Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ① Literature publication

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ① Literature publication   2020.02.03     Interesting stories from the past will always attract people’s minds; literature was the beginning and the flower of publication in every country. The poems, novels, essays, and plays written in Korean by Korean authors that sublimate their identity, emotions, and critical minds are an irreplaceable pillar of Korean culture. In particular, while undergoing turbulent modern history including the Japanese colonization, the Korean War, military dictatorship, industrialization, democratization, globalization, and informatization, Koreans would reflect the wounds in gemlike poems, novels, and essays, and share them in the form of a book.

South Korea's Imprint System in Publishing

South Korea's Imprint System in Publishing   2019.10.07   Most well-known South Korean publishers have several imprints (independent brands under the same publishing house).
