South Korea's budding publishing experts

South Korea's budding publishing experts   2018.01     University education inside South Korea to create experts in the publishing industry peaked in the 1990s. This was reflected in how even regional universities outside the capital area created new majors for this purpose while more than 10 two-year community colleges also did the same. There were also several locations that used the title "electronic publishing". Currently there is only one four-year university that has a publishing related major(Semyung University) and two two-year colleges(Shingu College, Seoil University). In today's modern world where job education is key, the number of majors at universities might as well be a barometer for how successful that field is. And this change shows well how things have greatly changed from 20 years ago when there was a surge of those working in the publishing industry.    On the other hand, there is a need to note not many publishers require their workers to ...

K-Book in Berlin

K-Book in Berlin M&K's Monica Gu talks South Korean books   2019.09.09     It is rare for German publishers to release South Korean books.Considering this, the first exhibition for South Korean books in Germany, K-Book in Berlin embarked on a mission to spread the word about great South Korean books.     It's been three years since I came to Germany for personal reasons. As I run a publishing company in South Korea, I visit bookstores and libraries in Germany often in search of good ideas for publications. Naturally, I found myself seeking out South Korean books translated into German, and I found Han Kang's The Vegetarian (Changbi) and Jeong You-jeong's Seven Years of Darkness (Eunhaengnamu). The Literature Translation Institute of Korea played a huge role in getting these books to German readers, but usually it is rare for German publishers to publish South Korean books all on their own. Being aware of many excellent books in S...

Hey Uhm

Hey Uhm Joyful Swimming in the Vast Sea of the Publishing Industry   2020.03.02   Publisher Hey Uhm   There was a writer that would “directly sell” her writing to readers through Social Media. It is the story of writer Lee Seula, who came up with a clever idea to continue securing stable finance through writing. This fresh approach shocked the publishing industry which sparked little changes to take place. And writer Lee Seula, the one that ignited the changes, set up Hey Uhm to create books she wants. Writing a story and making a book. They are different in many aspects by nature except one thing that they are all for readers. Still, many questions arose regarding the publisher that was born with a bold decision and its founder.   Writer Lee Seul-ah, founder of Publisher Hey Uhm ⓒ Ryu Han-kyung   The name of the company, Hey Uhm, is unique. What does the name “Hey Uhm” imply?   “Hey Uhm” is a pure Korean word that means “to swim.” The feeling I...

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays   2018.05.30   A list of bestselling books at times can be perceived as a miniature version of a society. Especially at times like now when far fewer people are buying books, the act of purchasing a book reflects a person's strong want to own a book even at the expense of paying one's hard-earned money. Not only do trendy books sell, but books that accurately secure society's general flow and emotions do well. From that perspective, looking at bestsellers becomes an act of analysis into a society.       At present time in 2018, emotional essays are seeing no end to their fame in South Korean bookstores. For industry leaders like Kyobo Book Centre and Aladin last year, the bestselling book in 2017 was Lee Ki-ju's Temperature of Language. The book shows very well the author's career as a speech writer for the presidential office following years as a journalist. Previously, Lee was known for his books o...
