Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea

Topic   Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea   2021.12.06   Heightened interest in “publications for older readers” ahead of the post-aged society   The United Nations (UN) defines a society where people aged 65 and above account for more than 20% of the population as a "post-aged society."

As of 2020, the proportion of citizens aged 65 and above was 15.7%. Still, agricultural regions with a higher percentage of the older population (Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Jeollabuk-do, and Gangwon-do) are already categorized as post-aged local societies.

As a writer and the head of a publishing company, he says he publishes books with the hope that they will be “a book that is given to you as a gift from someone who cares about you one day.” Writer Jung continues to interact with readers through social media and never stops challenging himself. His determination to stay steadfast in his writing career reminds us of the saying, “Sincerity works.” Following is an interview with Jung Yeong-Wook, a writer who deeply empathizes with...

Among the many winners, my eyes were drawn to a book that showed off unique ideas with a distinctly Korean touch. The book A Round of Tightrope Walking (Gloyeon) won the grand prize in the non-fiction category. As we read A Round of Tightrope Walking, which incorporates various elements of picture books and realistically depicts tightrope walking, we couldn’t help but smile as we imagined how excited children would be to read this book. Minha, the writer, creates a different kind of fun that goes far beyond the limits of books and paper. And since Minha says that picture books are like a shelter for her, we think her readers can also imagine and rest as much as they want through her books.
