Korean Publishing Industry's Crisis and Its Future

Publishing Industry   Korean Publishing Industry's Crisis and Its Future   2022.01.03   The Korean publishing industry seems to be facing one of its biggest crises as the new year 2022 approaches. Last year, Korea's 2nd largest book wholesale distributor, Interpark Songin, proceeded with insolvency, and the 3rd largest bookstore Bandi & Luni's (Seoul Book Center), is to be under corporate rehabilitation. Seoul Book Center was expected to go through the procedure considering its unhealthy financial status. Nevertheless, the expectation being realized brought chaos to many partnered publishing companies. From a macro view, how should we interpret the situation faced by the publishing industry? Before we think about the current situation, let's see how big players Interpark Songin and Seoul Book Center came to crumble.   Interpark Songin and Bandi & Luni's news stirred many publishing companies.   June 2020, Korea's 2nd largest book whole...

Reviews, Review Journals, and the New Review Culture

It means that about 200 books are released in the market every day. Some become bestsellers, and some vanish from the shelves in a few days. People that are "sincere" about reading books lose their way in the piles of new books, trying to figure out which book is good to read. Some people wait for the book column in a newspaper, some listen to book introductions on TV or radio, and some nod their head to the fancy wordplay of book-tubers on YouTube. However, as there is no appropriate or trustable guide, many readers feel as if they are trapped in Daedalus' Maze. Besides, there are voices arguing that there's actually no book to read, for there's no water to drink in a flood.   Recently in Korea, a small seed of hope has sprung up, that the new review culture will arrive, centered around a number of review journals.  ...

The early establishment of educational organizations for cultivating talented publishers   The paradigm surrounding planning, editing, producing, and marketing in the publishing market is changing with the rapid transformation of the publishing environment.

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑫ Publications of Children’s Books/Teenage Books

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑫ Publications of Children’s Books/Teenage Books   2021.01.04       One of the most active publishing areas in almost any country is children’s books.
