Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑥ Self-Development Publications

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑥ Self-Development Publications 2020.07.13 Self-development books in Korea are referred to as those related to the know-how on social relationships, success, skill cultivation, and educational tips. Put in other words, they are like guide books to live a better life. Among general books published for adult readers, self-development books are regarded as the low-level genre for practical books. As they are not specified to a particular genre, some books of this kind are put on the boundary between different fields or have several genres mixed in them. The reason readers choose to read self-development books is to pull themselves up to the next level through behavioral changes and positive mindsets and to carry out a successful social life. As such, these books give courage and hope to their readers encouraging them that they can do whatever they resolve to do. The sales revenue of self-develop...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑤ Science & Technology Publications

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑤ Science & Technology Publications 2020.06.01 Science & technology publication is one of the major pillars of a generation. It is because, for readers who have to adapt to the rapidly changing environment and seek survival strategies amidst the advent of the fourth industrial generation, those books are essential. Now a perception that science is only reserved for scientists and technology is something to do with robots is no longer acceptable. We need knowledge that can help us make decisions by ourselves in this changing world. We need knowledge that we can actively make use of. Therefore, books that professionals wrote in an easier language are like a guide that fills the knowledge gap of the readers. Adding to the traditional way of publishing paper books, science books have become widely popular though entertainment programs on TV or Social Media. This phenomenon has led to the m...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ④ Social Science Publications

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ④ Social Science Publications 2020.05.04 The 1980s were the golden age for social science publications in the Korean publishing industry. Under the ruling of the new military dictatorship, it was social science books and their readers that took the lead in the overall social transformation through intense democratic and labor movements. The books were the texts of social movement and transformation. Bookstores specialized in social science books, though most of them cannot be found today, thrived next to colleges across the nation. With the “announcement of democratization” in 1987, Seoul Olympics in 1988, and the establishment of a civilian government in 1993, Korea has been pursuing cultural diversity amidst the paradigm shifts of political democratization, globalization, and becoming an information society, positioning itself as a responsible member of the international community.

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ③ Philosophical and Religious Publications 2020.04.06 Religion was the origin of publishing in both the East and the West. The common ground of 42-line Gutenberg Bible (1455) which is regarded as the beginning of modern publication and Jikji: Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests’ Zen Teachings (1377), the world’s first Buddhist scripture made with movable metal types which predate the Bible, is that they are both religious books. It is possible to say that philosophical and religious publications are from the same source in that they both talk about the ongoing struggles of humanity ? what is a human being and how should one live.According to the statistics of the Korean Publishers Association, the number of titles published in Korea was 2,291 for philosophical books, while it was 2,958 for religious books in 2019.
