Korean Science Fiction Today

  One-liner Quotes   Korean Science Fiction Today     2026.02     A narrative is composed of events, characters, and a setting of time and space. That is what we are taught. In traditional storytelling, the events were paramount. However, at some point, character-driven narratives began to take center stage.In genres such as sitcoms or animations, events only materialize through the existence of the characters; the plot is merely the consequence of their action.Conversely, in storytelling for content like video games, “world-building” — the specific time and space that shapes a world — has become the priority.Worlds that are entirely alien to our reality, or those with overlapping or inverted rules, provide the necessary plausibility for their characters and events. Similarly in literature, genres such as fantasy...

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

Export Case: Jeong Hae-Yeon’s Success in Thailand

Export Case   Export Case: Jeong Hae-Yeon’s Success in Thailand   2026.01.05   Introduction of Eric Yang Agency   Founded thirty years ago, Eric Yang Agency is now widely known as one of Korea’s leading literary agencies for introducing international translated titles to the domestic market, including the Harry Potter series and JUSTICE: What’s the Right Thing To Do?. Less widely known, however, is that the agency has also achieved significant results in exporting Korean books to overseas markets for more than two decades. Over twenty years ago, Eric Yang Agency established a branch in China, and today it exports Korean titles across Asia through its offices in Taiwan and Thailand, as well as through local Eric Yang agents based in each market. Building on this stable Asian foundation, the agency has recently expanded its efforts to export Korean books more broadly, including to English-language and European markets. In addition to handling global rights ...

Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday, Talks About Korean Literature

Export Case   Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday,Talks About Korean Literature   2025.11.03   Just a decade ago, there was a prevailing belief that Korean literature could not be globalized because of linguistic and translational barriers. However, with the improvement of translation and global readers’ growing eagerness for a wider range of stories, Korean content began to draw closer to them. It eventually settled in as its own genre under the name “K-content,” now recognized worldwide. Korean literature, in particular, proved this trend with Han Kang’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Yet, many Korean works remain undiscovered internationally. At the “2025 Copyright Export Support Program,” organized by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI) this past September, we met Jane Lawson, publishing director at Doubleday, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, and discussed Korean literature.   ...

AI Reshapes the Reading Landscape

Topic   AI Reshapes the Reading Landscape From technology to everyday language   2025.10.02   A “quiet revolution” in our bookshelves   According to statistics from the online bookstore Aladin, out of roughly 65,000 new titles published in a single year, no fewer than 2,027 carried the keyword “artificial intelligence (AI).” Even more striking is the pace: of the 5,719 AI-related books registered with Aladin to date, fully 35.4%, more than one-third, were released in just this past year. This is no mere trend, but a market-shaking “explosion.” This surge is fundamentally unlike the period before ChatGPT. In the past, the AI section was filled with specialist texts on machine learning and deep learning for developers; now it has been taken over by practical guides and business strategy titles targeting professionals, creators, and small-business owners. The tidal surge of AI has at last broken free of specialist domains and swept into everyday life. &nb...

A World Carried by the Yangtze River: Shanghai

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑩] A World Carried by the Yangtze River: Shanghai   2025.10.02       Shanghai has always been a paradoxical space in Chinese history. What is now the city of Shanghai was once Shanghai County (上海縣), under Jiangsu Province (江?省), functioning as an administrative town and regional market-port, though it was no match for Suzhou (?州市) or Hangzhou (杭州市). Everything changed in 1842, after the First Opium War and the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, when Shanghai was designated as a treaty port. European powers established concessions, exercising administrative and policing authority and enjoying extraterritorial rights. From China’s perspective, it was hardly different from colonial subjugation.Yet Shanghai rapidly developed alongside the influx of foreign powers. Rival empires competed to exhibit their strength, and individuals carved out their own spheres through we...

Korean Literature: From Page to Screen

Topic   Korean Literature: From Page to Screen   2025.09.04   In the Korean film industry, the label “based on a novel” is no longer unusual. Over the past decade, films adapted from literary works have steadily reached theaters, making secondary rights sales a significant revenue stream for publishers. For filmmakers, novels are an attractive source material because they offer strong narratives and existing recognition, all within the constraints of limited budgets. As a result, adaptations have not only drawn audiences to cinemas but also reignited book sales, often sending older titles back up the bestseller lists. Since the success of adaptations such as Gong Ji-Young’s The Crucible (Changbi Publishers) and Kim Ryeo-Ryeong’s Wandeuk (Changbi Publishers), which achieved both commercial popularity and social impact, literary-based films are no longer regarded as “exceptional undertakings.” This month’s article reviews prominent examples from the last ten...
