Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Voices to French Readers   2024.12.02   Korean literature and Editions Picquier have a long story. We began publishing books from Asia nearly 40 years ago: Korea and its literature, virtually unknown in France at the time, have fascinated us from our earliest days. The first works we published - Kim Won Il’s Mr Lee’s Travel, KIM Song Dong’s Mandala, Yun Hung Kil’s The Mother - almost went unnoticed; it was challenging to bring readers into contact with a literature that was far removed from the habits and preoccupations of French readers. It was a literature that gave pride of place to cultural traditions, to the earth, to history. We thus decided to publish anthologies of short stories and essays to give French readers some reference points. This had a pedagogical purpose, establishing a foothold in Korean literature and presenting a more organized history to readers. More than 30 years ago, what was being published in France wa...

New Trends in Korean Literature

Export Case   New Trends in Korean Literature   2024.10.07   It’s important to be ahead of the pack in global publishing; to find the new trends and to be future looking in order to be successful. I have always been an explorer, a seeker of the new, while travelling professionally and personally, and that has led me to discover Korean literature more than a decade ago. The first books to break through were literary masterpieces Please Look After Mom (Changbi Publishers) by Shin Kyung-Sook and The Vegetarian (Changbi Publishers) by Han Kang. After the initial introduction of Korean books to global readers who had never heard of them, let alone read them, I introduced mysteries and thrillers which are already super popular in the World English and global markets. So, readers of Steig Larrsen’s mega-bestseller, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, devoured Jeong You-Jeong’s The Good Son (EunHaeng NaMu Publishing). J.M. Lee’s The Investigation (EunHae...

Records That Reflect Us

One-Liner Quotes   Records That Reflect Us Urban Branding Expert’s Pick: Korean Books   2024.10.07   Mok Ji-Su is an urban branding director who works on local stories and content. He is currently publishing the monthly magazine Magazine Bathhouse (Site Branding) that features the stories of public bathhouses in neighborhoods.   As an urban branding director, I look at every corner of our cities, and I always realize that there are people’s stories at the end of it all. Thinking that the memory of a city is the memory of a human being, I have gotten into the habit of looking into the time, people, and spaces of a city before I go about urban branding. The records of people’s lives and spaces are a good reference, and reading them gives me an apportunity to reflect on myself.     Jeon Mong-Gag’s photobook Yunmi’s Album: From the Cradle to the Wedding (Photo Net) is a record of his daughter Yunmi ...

Publishing Kim Hyesoon and International Poetry

Export Case   Publishing Kim Hyesoon and International Poetry   2024.06.03   New Directions was founded in 1936 by the pioneering publisher James Laughlin when he was a student at Harvard.

What Do Life and Death Look Like for Single-Person Households in South Korea?

New Books   What Do Life and Death Look Likefor Single-Person Households in South Korea?     2026.06     Kim Su-Young, The Inevitable Loneliness, 2026.   In 2021, Professor Kim Su-Young, author of The Inevitable Loneliness, launched the 〈ALONE〉 project, a two-year study documenting the lives of 109 single-person households. This book brings to light the stories of 56 participants from that research. As of August 2025, South Korea officially entered an era where single-person households exceed ten million. Recognizing that living alone is a structural landscape carved out by late-industrial society, the author conceptualizes this phenomenon as a mechanism of self-production and self-reproduction.   Under the heavy shadows of an unstable labor market and a rapidly aging society, individuals in single-person households must live as the sole authors of ...

Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...
