The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers

Topic   The Future of Korean Novels: Gen-MZ Writers   2023.02.20   There is a new wind blowing into Korean literature. With the emergence of new media, we hear that literature will soon face its demise every time. However, even in the era of YouTube and Netflix, Korean literature still keeps its blood young with the inflow of new writers. At the center of the new flow stands the so-called Gen-MZ (Millennials + Gen Z) writers, born in the 1980s and 1990s. Gen MZ writers, such as Choi Eun-Yung, Chung Se-Rang, Jang Ryu-Jin, Park Sang-Young, Kim Cho-Yeop, and Cheon Seon-Ran, are highlighted as the future of Korean literature. As the new year 2023 loomed, many publishers released a list of books to be published, which includes Gen-MZ writers' names.   Writer Choi Eun-Yung, Park Sang-Young, and Chung Se-Rang (ⓒMunhakdongne Publishing Group)...

Copyright Agent’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Copyright Agent’s Pick   2022.09.05   As a copyright agent working at the forefront of the copyright business, there is a unique “sense” that years of experience give you. It would be great to give a clear definition for that sense, but as you know, senses are difficult to explain logically. For content to be loved by global citizens crossing the linguistic and geological barriers, a number of elements have to be at play. Among the many elements, if I were to pick only two, I would choose “universal,” and “unique.” Content that has a universally understood story and a specialty differentiated from existing content is highly likely to be loved by readers around the world across borders.     Cheon Seon-Ran is the author that I’m particularly paying attention to as a copyright agent. Her book A Thousand Blues (East-Asia Publishing Co.), whi...

Now its spread has slowed down, but it has indeed been a powerful turning point for the world to the extent that its end is called ‘post-COVID.’ As we lived through the painful times, we were faced with serious concerns about public health and social consensus where we live together with the marginalized in society.

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in Japan

Export Case   Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in Japan Publishing status of translated Korean literature   2022.03.07   Hayakawa Publishing has been translating and publishing original novels of Korean dramas that succeeded in Japan since the mid-2000s. For example, we published Physician Janggeum (Greenboat Magics) by Kim Sang-Hyeon in 2004 and Seodongyo (Knowledge Smith) by Jung Jae-In and Kim Young-Hyun in 2006. We have been selling novels of successful Korean history and romance dramas in Japan to Japanese K-drama fans.Then, the mega-hit of Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 (Minumsa Publishing) by Cho Nam-Joo in 2018, and Almonds (Changbi Publishers) of Sohn Won-Pyung in 2019 worked as a game-changer in the overseas literature market in Japan, transforming and expanding it. These two books were also massively popular in Korea and highly appraised, with fun storylines. So, the reason behind their popularity in Japan can be largely put to two a...

“Illness Narratives” A Detailed Reflection of our Society

Topic   “Illness Narratives”A Detailed Reflection of our Society   2022.02.14   The center of our body is not the heart.It’s the spot we feel pain when we are sick.   This is a phrase from the poem I, Stand There written by Park No-Hae. In fact, we all get restless even when a small spinule is stuck under the fingernail. Needless to say, if we feel pain in some area of our body, that spot becomes the center of our body, getting all the focus. Every human being sometimes gets sick to a different degree. Even for someone who has never caught a cold, there must be a time they get sick due to perhaps aging, which is a natural process for our body. It is not a curse word, but all human beings have no choice but to go through sickness and healing, and through which, they gradually grow into a mature person. (could be harmed, of course.) In that process, the sickness, or disease, at the center of your life creates a story of its own kind that is often made into ...

Literary Awards and Contests in the field of Genre Literature

Literary Awards and Contests in the field of Genre Literature Becoming the center of the publishing market as a mainstream field   2020.06.01     The preference of readers is having more influence on the Korean publishing market than other elements. Genre literature including webtoons (online comics), web novels, and science fiction that gained little attention in the past have become popular among readers – even comparable to pure literature – and its market is expanding as well. The idea that genre literature is non-mainstream and is only enjoyed by certain fans has become nonsense today. In particular, in terms of web novels, anyone can become a writer, and as anybody can enjoy the works with a mobile device anywhere one likes, its market has outgrown that of paper books. Genre literature possesses a different value than pure literature in that its works can be extended to derivative works such as movies or TV series with their creative ideas and fast flow of stori...
