A New Chapter in Korea-China Literary Exchange

Export Case   A New Chapter in Korea-China Literary Exchange Folio Culture’s Korean Book Localization Strategy   2025.03.10   Folio Culture (Beijing) has consistently focused on introducing and localizing Korean books in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and literature. In recent years, we have successfully brought several Korean works to the Chinese market through precise topic selection, cultural adaptation, and innovative promotion strategies, sparking widespread discussions on the social media platform Xiaohongshu. Below, we share our experiences in four key areas: topic selection strategy, localization practices, promotion strategy, and future plans.   Balancing Social Issues with Literary Value, Grounded in Shared East Asian Emotions, to Create a Dialogue Space for Chinese and Korean Youth   Capturing Social Resonance Points in Korean Literature   In recent years, Korean literature has shifted from grand narrati...

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...

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...

Globalizing Korean Literature: The Journey of Kim Hye-jin and Her Works

Export Case   Globalizing Korean Literature:The Journey of Kim Hye-jin and Her Works   2024.11.04   I am writing this a day after Han Kang received the Nobel Prize in Literature “for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life.” The first in history for a writer from South Korea. It is, without a doubt, a huge milestone for South Korean literature and a debt that was long overdue. Some may even feel that this is the ultimate goal for the internationalization of Korean literature.Korea has an incredibly rich and diverse literary culture that has conquered the world in recent years, and I feel that this is an interesting moment to stop and think about how authors and authorships are managed. The most important ‘ingredients’, which are talent and key resources such as translators, grants, and promotion programs, are already there. The support is truly impressive. But how can we best promote a...

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...

Books That Expanded My Horizons

One-Liner Quotes   Books That Expanded My Horizons Korean-French Translator’s Pick: Korean Books   2024.09.02   As a French translator, Somi Chang has been translating modern and contemporary French literature into Korean, including Margrit Duras, Albert Camus, Fran?oise Sagan, Romain Garrigue, Michel Uelbeck, Herv? Guibert, and Val?rie Ferenc.   From the position of being an introducer of foreign books to Korean readers, I have gone the other way, introducing books by Korean authors to international readers. I browsed through my bookshelves. Adding the keyword “Korea” to my personal book selection criteria of “books that expand my horizons,” regardless of language, I picked out two books with great effort. Two books are: Leaning Against the Entasis Solumns at Muryangsujeon Hall (Hakgojae Publishers, 1994) and Music Story Collection (Franz, 2024).     Leaning Against the Entasis Solumns at Murya...

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. Laughlin conceived of New Directions as a way to introduce some of the most groundbreaking and experimental poets of the time (Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Hilda Doolittle, Louis Zukofsky), aiming to publish writing that “made it new” in English and other languages. He also traveled widely, introducing fiction writers and poets from abroad.
