Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑧ Publication of practical books for social activities

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑧ Publication of practical books for social activities   2020.09.07     Among practical books that provide knowledge and information useful for daily life, those excluding “practical books for home” including areas such as child nurturing, cooking, healthcare, and hobbies were categorized as “practical books for social activities.” From the broader perspective, this category can include several publication genres such as economy & business administration (K-Book Trends Vol. 22), self-development (K-Book Trends Vol. 24), and others useful for carrying out social activities. This month, we would like to take a deeper look at foreign language and travel books, concentrating on the narrow spectrum of “practical books for social activities.” According to the sales statistics of Kyobo Bookstore, a representative bookstore both online and offline in Korea, foreign language books accounted for ab...

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...
