Thanks to the efforts of many publishing experts and professionals inside and outside the country, South Korean publications have now started to become known overseas. However, exchanges came to a standstill after active engagement for many years with one country. This country was China. After political conflict arose between the two countries over the deployment of an anti-missile system called THAAD in South Korea in 2016, bilateral publication copyright deals were also affected. Three years after this issue presented itself, relationships were mended for the first time in three years at the “2019 South Korea-China Publishing Copyright Exchanges Event”. One-on-One Business Matching Between South Korea...
