Today and Tomorrow of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System

Publishing Industry   Today and Tomorrow of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System   2023.09.04         Current status of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System (KOPDS)   When Song-In Books, a large South Korean book wholesaler, went bankrupt in 2017, many publishers were left in a state of chaos.

This prompted the creation of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System (KOPDS), which was built in accordance with the Fourth Five-Year Plan for the Promotion of Publishing Culture, reflecting the need to build an advanced distribution system for the publishing industry. The system was launched in Sept...

However, the domain of each type of content and the boundary between them have become unclear these days. Today, publishers are not just coming up with publishable content, but are expanding their business into e-books and audiobooks, not to mention other cultural fields such as the film, game, and music industries. As such, the publishing industry takes on different content-based roles, crossing the traditional frontier of “print books.”However, unlike the diversified channels for publishing content, readership is falling every year. People now prefer video services like TV, YouTube, and Netflix rather than books. The average annual percentage of Koreans reading books is 47.5...
