Publishing Industry   Trends in the Publishing Market in the First Half of 2022   2022.08.01   People are still reeling from the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has swept the world over the past three years. Korea has been rapidly taking actions to return people’s daily lives to how they were before the pandemic. Such efforts can be seen through major terms commonly used in news outlets, such as “endemic” and “post-COVID.” Also, in early June, the Seoul International Book Fair was held at COEX on a large scale after a three-year absence, attracting approximately 100 thousand visitors.
