South Korea's policies to promote reading and reading movements

South Korea's policies to promote reading and reading movements 2019.11.04 In addition to smartphones, media bombards people daily, whether they take the form of regular information, videos or other forms of entertainment. As this sort of content increases and more forms of leisure appear, concerns over people reading fewer books are also growing. According to statistics, the reading rate of South Korean adults over the age of 19 (reading rate of paper books that are not textbooks, educational material, magazines or comic books) stood at 86.8 percent in 1994 only to plummet to 59.9 percent in 2017 (the rate was 62.3 percent when e-books were accounted for). On average, the rate dropped 1 percentage point every year over that period. When compared to the reading rates of underage students from elementary school students to high school students that top 90 percent, the adult reading rates are not to be ignored. South Koreans have long upheld traditional values related to s...

Visual adaptation rights for books and sales 2019.10.07 Global attention towards South Korea's cultural content has been growing.

Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers

Export Case Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers Successful import case of Prapanca Press in Israel 2023.11.06 The Hebrew-language book market is paradoxically both large and small. While there are only about two million active Hebrew readers, who read at least once a week, close to 7,000 new titles are published each and every year in Israel. In other words, whereas the book market is rather small in terms of readers, it is considerably large, vigorous, and diverse in terms of contents. Approximately 20% of Hebrew book publications are translations, almost all of which are translations from English, in addition to a few translations from other European languages such as Russian and Spanish.Regrettably, to date, very few Korean titles were able to reach the Hebrew book market. Although the novels of Shin Kyung-sook and Jeong You-jeong, as well as a few others, have been published in Hebrew and received in Israel with some enthusiasm, the translation...

From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature

Topic From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature 2023.08.07 Korean mystery literature originated in the unique conditions of the Japanese occupation. Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918. Most of the works serialized in newspapers at the time were re-translations of works by Ruiko Kuriowa, a Japanese author of adapted novels. By the 1920s, adapted mystery novels moved out of newspapers and were published in magazines such as Hacksaengkye, Chungnyeon, and Dongmyung, and emphasized that they were intellectual works for readers with a certain level of reading ability, such as educated young adults and students.However, the writers who translated and wrote mystery literature w...

A Diplomat’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes A Diplomat’s Pick 2022.10.04 “Yeonhaengnok (燕行錄)” is a very special collection of Korean travel literature. Marco Polo’s The Travels of Marco Polo, Ibn Battuta’s Rihla, and monk Hyecho’s Wang Ocheonchukguk Jeon are travelogues about the writers’ trips to other countries, but Yeonhaengnok is different from typical travelogues as it is a journal about diplomatic activities. The book is a well-organized, systematic travel journal written by former diplomats of Korea cumulated over a long period of time. It is very unlikely to find something of its kind anywhere in the world except in Korea. One of the best-appraised Yeonhaengnoks in Korea is The Jehol Diary written by Park Ji-Won as he returned from China in 1780. The book The Jehol Diary (Green Bee) is a travel journal of events that took place over a 3,500km round trip of the Joseon diplomatic corps, as they departed from Seoul...
