Book Trend in Korea Eyed by the Russian Publishing Market in the 2020s

Export Case   Book Trend in Korea Eyed bythe Russian Publishing Market in the 2020s   2022.08.01   In 2021, Russia was designated as the target country of the “Visiting Korean Book Fair” hosted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) for the first time in the fair’s history.

Writer Seo Hyun

Korean Authors   Writer Seo Hyun There is always laughter in imagination   2025.10.02   Technology develops, and the world advances for a more comfortable life, but we are living so busily that we barely have time to look up at the sky. Just as we have grown distant from books that are read slowly and savored, we have grown closer to videos that we flip through quickly. So, what about picture books? Picture books may be quicker to read than texts, but they keep us on the page longer than videos, offering a leisurely kind of reading that helps us look at the world more warmly. And, this is not just limited to children. Picture books introduce children to a rich new world and help adults regain the leisure and laughter they have lost. And, there is a tender-spirited author who touches our hearts with such picture books - Seo Hyun.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends. Please say hello to our readers wit...

On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day, How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?

Topic   On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day,How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?   2022.06.07   Many say, “The greater discovery than finding a new continent or inventing electricity is coining the concept, children.” Before the concept was recognized, children were merely toys for their parents or tools to use as a means. The discovery of the concept of children is the biggest for Chosun as it did not know the existence of young people. - Bang Jeong-Hwan, A historical study of the Joseon juvenile movement, The Chosun Ilbo, 1929/1/4.   The year 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Children’s Day in Korea. The Children’s Day Declaration, announced by Bang Jeong-Hwan in 1922, is recognized as the world’s first children’s human rights declaration announced even before the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child (the Geneva Declaration) in 1924, which was adopted by the League of Nation...
