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.

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.
