AI Reshapes the Reading Landscape

Topic   AI Reshapes the Reading Landscape From technology to everyday language   2025.10.02   A “quiet revolution” in our bookshelves   According to statistics from the online bookstore Aladin, out of roughly 65,000 new titles published in a single year, no fewer than 2,027 carried the keyword “artificial intelligence (AI).” Even more striking is the pace: of the 5,719 AI-related books registered with Aladin to date, fully 35.4%, more than one-third, were released in just this past year. This is no mere trend, but a market-shaking “explosion.” This surge is fundamentally unlike the period before ChatGPT. In the past, the AI section was filled with specialist texts on machine learning and deep learning for developers; now it has been taken over by practical guides and business strategy titles targeting professionals, creators, and small-business owners. The tidal surge of AI has at last broken free of specialist domains and swept into everyday life. &nb...

Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era and the Compass of the Heart

Topic   Poetry Collections: The Trend of the Era andthe Compass of the Heart   2024.12.02   The rise of Korean poetry and its global takeoff   There have been a number of “unusual” scenes in Korean literature in recent years. If I told you that Korean poetry is at the center of it, would international readers believe me? The proportion of readers in their 20s and 30s buying poetry books is increasing. The share of teenagers is also increasing, not to mention the number of poetry books being published. It is no longer strange or unfamiliar to see people transcribing poems. There are even bookstores in Korea that sell only poetry books. It’s a curious thing. Haven’t we all moved on to YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix? The thing that’s being “unlocked” should be smartphones, not poetry books, isn’t it?The year 2024 is poised to be a monumental year in Korean literary history. It is 100 years since the publication of Chu Yo-Han’ first poetry collection Beau...

Write the Story You Want to Read

Knowledge   Write the Story You Want to Read Self-publishing platforms in Korea: The reasons for growth and the current state   2024.11.04         “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.” - Toni Morrison, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1993   While there is no established academic definition, “self-publishing” refers to authors planning, editing, publishing, and distributing their own manuscripts without working through a publishing company. As opposed to “vanity publishing,” which involves paying an upfront fee to a publisher to produce and distribute a book, it is used almost interchangeably with “independent publishing” in Korea (some researchers and book critics use the two terms separately). The desire to document ...

Promoting Korean Art Through Books

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ⑤] Promoting Korean Art Through Books English editions of Korean art books for foreigners   2024.10.07   Youlhwadang Publishers, the publisher I’m working for as an editor, has three ways of utilizing English when publishing books on Korean traditional culture and arts. At the most basic level, we include an English summary at the front of the book that summarizes the content of the Korean edition, with the intent of providing the most basic information for librarians in foreign libraries with no Korean skills to categorize the books. For art collections that are mainly image-based with relatively few texts, the full text is included in both Korean and English so that it can be distributed at home and abroad as a single edition. This is also useful for artists to use as a portfolio when performing abroad. Finally, the Korean and English editions can be planned as independent books, published simultaneous...
