Development and Transformation of Korean Young Adult Fiction

Topic   Development and Transformation of Korean Young Adult Fiction   2024.06.03   “Young Adult (YA)” is a keyword that can’t be left out when discussing Korean literature in recent years. In fact, “recent” might not be the right word. It was in 2021 when the first article on the topic of “young adult fiction” appeared in K-Book Trends, and Sohn Won-Pyung’s Almond (Dazzling Publishers), which was mentioned as a work that led the young adult market at that time, was published in 2017. However, the term “young adult” appears in the submission guidelines of new fiction contests, in the names and intentions of newly conceived novel series, and in the introductions of young adult SF or fantasy novels. As such, young adult fiction is expanding and changing at a remarkably rapid pace. This growth can be attributed to the steady improvement of Korean young adult fiction, the changes in general fiction, and readers’ enthusiasm for new genres. S...

Why We Read Fiction

One-Liner Quotes   Why We Read Fiction Pharmacist’s Pick   2024.04.01   Park Hool-Ryung is a pharmacist and writer who runs “A Bookstore That Is Yet Dependent.” With the goal of “Book & Fun,” which means that the fun of reading books shouldn’t be missed, the writer grows with readers and customers. (Instagram: @a_dok_bang)   Most countries in the world today are deeply concerned about their aging populations. It is ironic that while we are living in an era of prosperity, benefiting from industrialization and advanced technology, the number of young people who will take the lead in the country is shrinking. This is also true for Korea, a country with a rapidly aging population. This often leads to conflicts between the young and the old, as they have different goals. This uncomfortable reality makes me wonder what it would be like if it were fiction. The world of fiction either nakedly shows reality or distorts it. This is why we r...

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...

Forecast of the Times: The Emergence of Light Civilization

New Books   Forecast of the Times: The Emergence of Light Civilization The era when massive, heavy bodies become smaller and lighter   2025.10.02                     Since the Industrial Revolution, the mass production system that made producing more things at a faster pace, and the organizations that grew as large as the technology itself, have defined the “heavy civilization” that dominated our society for the past 200 years. However, with the advent of AI, the diligent and hardworking life has become the very symbol of inefficiency. Now, it is not the size or weight of the economy that matters, but the speed of response to change. This is because humans can never match the speed and productivity of AI.   “The people of this planet, who maintained competitiveness by sleeping less, working harder, and pushing further than others, are now beginning to feel powerless.” - from the book   Fo...
