This is the medium that connects publishers and bookstores, while it is a gift for readers.

They contribute greatly to the spread of the cultural trend that respects individuals’ preferences, and unique characteristics as independent publications set the stage for their stories to be heard, and independent bookstores mature with their own unique color.As such, as the two pursue a common goal, more bookstores are carrying out publishing at the same time.

Bestseller Keyword - Money In 2020, Readers Chased After the Flow of Money   2021.02.08       The Asian Financial Crisis that broke out in 1997 may have sparked the recent publishing trend of “money” and “wealth” in Korea. At this time when all the conventional wisdom of getting a good job, earning money, and pursuing a stable life without debts has broken, books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad (Minumin) that suggest a new perspective that debt can also be an asset claiming that people need to study about money, and Who Moved My Cheese? (Jinmyoung) that gives a lesson that only those that have overcome fear and adapted to changes can go through challenges, caught readers’ attention. Then, the “get rich fever” in 2002, best represented by the commercial copy - “Hope you become rich!” - of a credit card company, strongly struck the publishing market. Readers, who became anxious due to restructuring in their company, early retirement, and the burden of inflation-dr...
