Korean Book Publishers Eye Webnovels and Webtoons

Publishing Industry Korean Book Publishers Eye Webnovels and Webtoons Why is Dasan Books starting an entertainment business? 2022.04.04 With the global mega-hit of “Squid Game” on Netflix in 2021, the world began to take a greater interest in Korean content. Other webtoon-based dramas, including “Hellbound” and “We Are All Dead,” are seeing good records as well, and Korean webtoon platforms such as Piccoma, Line Manga, and Tapas are rapidly growing in the global market. Now webtoons are rising as the next driver of Korean content, or K-content, which has been represented by K-pop.Korean book publishers are also greatly interested in webtoons and webnovels.

Reviews, Review Journals, and the New Review Culture

Publishing Industry Reviews, Review Journals, and the New Review Culture 2021.12.06 More than 80,000 books are published each year. It means that about 200 books are released in the market every day. Some become bestsellers, and some vanish from the shelves in a few days. People that are "sincere" about reading books lose their way in the piles of new books, trying to figure out which book is good to read. Some people wait for the book column in a newspaper, some listen to book introductions on TV or radio, and some nod their head to the fancy wordplay of book-tubers on YouTube. However, as there is no appropriate or trustable guide, many readers feel as if they are trapped in Daedalus' Maze. Besides, there are voices arguing that there's actually no book to read, for there's no water to drink in a flood. Recently in Korea, a small seed of hope has sprung up, that the new review culture will arrive, centered around a number of review journals. ...

The best leaders of Korea’s soft power are BTS, director Bong Joon-Ho who has presented various movies including “Parasite,” and actress Youn Yuh-Jung’s achievement through the movie “Minari.” The values of Korean pop culture are growing, and many people worldwide are sharing Korean culture. Such a phenomenon implies that the opportunities and spaces for sharing Korean culture worldwide develop simultaneously at a rapid pace. It was, therefore, a natural result that people began to pay more attention to Korean publishing content – the source of the OSMU (once source, multi-use) – in addition to the phenomenon. All this means that it has become a reality that the number of different usage cases of sub-rights based on Korean publication c...

Book Funds and Publication

Book Funds and Publication 2021.07.05 From support and cooperation to investment and profit It is impossible to trace the origin of book funds. They would have existed from the infancy stage of the publishing industry as one of the various ways of publication. Certain stories could be deemed good stories necessary for the world, but for them to be published in the market as a product called books, you need capital. Funds might have been used as a means to raise money. Indeed, the nature of funds in the past would have been closer to support and cooperation (of course, I cannot look into what those fund-raisers had in mind), whereas funds today are more focused on investment and profit-sharing (people might have different thoughts as well but most of the funds I participate in are supportive and cooperative).In the Korean publishing industry, book funds only account for a small proportion, both in terms of attempts and size of investments. It was the early 21st cent...
