Domestic Video Content Originating from Literature

Publishing Industry   Domestic Video Content Originating from Literature   2023.04.03         We are living in an era of stories. In the 21st century, humans, who have evolved through tales, start their lives in stories, experience mood changes like a roller coaster, and consume numerous stories based on how they feel and what they like. Global OTT dominates our pastime these days. Netflix, the world’s largest OTT platform, has 220 million paid subscribers.

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑫ Publications of Children’s Books/Teenage Books   2021.01.04       One of the most active publishing areas in almost any country is children’s books. Many of the children’s books in Korea (for preschoolers and elementary schoolers) have long been focused on education, learning, or cognitive development for its expected roles.

12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam

Export Case   12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam   2022.06.07   Nha Nam is one of the leading literary book publishing companies in Vietnam, and one of our main goals is to introduce the world's literary works to Vietnamese readers. Since our founding in 2005, Nha Nam has purchased the rights to many works from the UK, France, USA, Germany, Canada, China, and Japan and accomplished certain achievements. However, at the time, although we were keen to publish Korean books, we had quite a few difficulties finding books and contacting Korean copyright owners. Moreover, we did not have much information about Korean literature, nor did we have editors who could read and translate Korean. We could only refer to information through other languages such as English, French or Chinese. At that time, although not many Korean literary books were published, Korean dramas were widely known in Vietnam, so we decided to experiment with the book that had b...

The Comeback of Best-selling Books is Thanks to Youtube

Topic   The Comeback of Best-selling Books is Thanks to Youtube   2022.03.07   “Try this.”It’s not some random street vendor tempting tourists to try Dalgona using Squid Game’s popularity. Winter Bookstore, one of the most popular BookTubers (Book + Youtuber) with 230K subscribers, posted a video introducing a book. Her influence is truly colossal.The book she introduced was Why Fish Don’t Exist, a non-fiction book written by US science journalist Lulu Miller. Let’s go back to the starting point to see how it became popular. The book was published on December 17, 2021, and it did not gain much popularity in Korea at first. Lulu Miller was a new science journalist and a writer just introduced to Korean readers. Though the book contains excellent writing and exciting stories, the one-person publisher, Gom Books, did not have the marketing power to make the book popular. Why Fish Don’t Exist was reviewed in major newspapers several times, but the public did n...
