The Uncanny Convenience Store’s Magical Journey in Taiwan

Export Case   The Uncanny Convenience Store’s Magical Journey in Taiwan   2023.04.03   Popular Korean novel Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) has experienced a very magical journey in Taiwan. Before publishing the book in Taiwan, Solo Press (寂寞出版社) had published Please Look After Mom (Changbi) with a relatively serious and heavy topic as well as Dallergut Dream Department Store (Sam & Parkers), a bestselling novel in Korea.   * K-Book Trends Vol. 46 – Go to the article about Dallergut Dream Department Store’s successful import into Taiwan   Unlike Please Look After Mom, the two books, Dallergut Dream Department Store and Uncanny Convenience Store, are relatively simply-written, talking about things close to our daily lives. Above all, they are so-called “healing novels” with humanistic elements, which support the hearts of readers going through hardships driven by the pandemic. With the publishing experience and...

Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons

Topic   Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons   2023.03.13   Status of Korean webnovel and webtoon market   Korea’s webnovel and webtoon market has been growing rapidly, representing the “K-content” category. The business has been expanding into other countries as well, such as other Asian countries and the US. Derivative works based on webnovels and webtoons are generating income through various channels. As can be seen in the success of the recently-aired drama “Reborn Rich,” IPs (intellectual property) based on publishing content such as webnovels and webtoons are expanding into other industries such as drama, film, animation, and games, securing the original content with relatively less investment. According to the research conducted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), the size of the webnovel market grew from 741.5 billion won in 2020 to 1.85 tril...

Korean Books Published by Haru Publisher Indonesia

Export Case   Korean Books Published by Haru Publisher Indonesia   2023.03.13   Twelve years ago, there were only a few translated Korean books in Indonesia. Most of them were literature books and project books (Project books are usually published with the budget from the author/institution (sometimes it's 50:50 with the publishers, depending on the agreement). It's not only textbooks/study books, but every book needed by the organization and they reach out to the publisher asking to publish their books.) from certain institutions, for example, collections of poetry or collections of literary studies. So Haru Publisher, which was founded in 2011, saw this as an opportunity, besides that the editors had a great interest in Korean culture.Our first book, So, I Married an Antifan (Terrace Books), was published in 2012. A few months before this book was published, we started promoting it on social media. We partnered up with communities to promote thi...

The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers

Topic   The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers   2023.02.20   There is a new wind blowing into Korean literature. With the emergence of new media, we hear that literature will soon face its demise every time. However, even in the era of YouTube and Netflix, Korean literature still keeps its blood young with the inflow of new writers. At the center of the new flow stands the so-called Gen-MZ (Millennials + Gen Z) writers, born in the 1980s and 1990s. Gen MZ writers, such as Choi Eun-Yung, Chung Se-Rang, Jang Ryu-Jin, Park Sang-Young, Kim Cho-Yeop, and Cheon Seon-Ran, are highlighted as the future of Korean literature. As the new year 2023 loomed, many publishers released a list of books to be published, which includes Gen-MZ writers' names.   Writer Choi Eun-Yung, Park Sang-Young, and Chung Se-Rang (ⓒMunhakdongne Publishing Group)...

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.S.A.

Export Case   Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.S.A. Black Ocean, Lee Young-ju, the 2022 Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize for Cold Candies   2023.02.20   The idea for doing Moon Country, the contemporary Korean poetry series at Black Ocean, started around the time Janaka Stucky, the publisher, came to Korea for a series of readings and literary events in 2017. Along with the editor Carrie Olivia Adams, we decided we’d like to publish work that stood on its own, but also would be in conversation with the other Black Ocean titles. So that is why we set out to publish edgy, avant-garde, contemporary work published in Korea within the last 25 years or so.The series’ name comes from the famous poem and book Moon Country Mischief (the title of a Korean book: 『달나라의 장난』) by Kim Soo-young. A goal we have is that we want these books to challenge national literature discourses, we want to invite readers to inhabit these books...

Museum Curator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Museum Curator’s Pick   2023.02.20     Westerners who visited “Joseon (the previous name of Korea)” in the 19th century described the country as the “Hermit Kingdom” or the “Land of Morning Calm.” Since that was how Joseon was depicted by foreigners, a third party, I just thought so, too. However, was Joseon, a dynasty that lasted for as long as 500 years, nothing but a reclusive and silent country? Landscape of Joseon’s Backstreet (Purunyoksa) by Kang Myung-Kwan is filled with content that would be exciting for those who usually get overwhelmed and bored by the word “history.” I used to know Joseon as a country dominated by strong Confucian culture and noble seonbi (scholars), but I wondered what made the author so eager to depict the landscape of the kingdom’s alleys. Even now, alleys are riskier and scarier than main roads as we don’t ...
