Best Sellers   2nd Week, August 2023 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2023.09.04   August in South Korea can be a challenging month with hot days, but it’s also exciting for students and office workers as it means summer break and vacations. A variety of books for different tastes made it to the integrated list of bestsellers with summer vacations coming up, but two fiction titles stood out. The fourth on the list, Even with the Dimmest Light, is a new novel by Choi Eun-Young, who enters the 10th year of her career this year. The book, consisting of seven mid- to full-length stories, received comments that it reads like a long letter written by the author, which makes it immersive and compelling. Another book, a full-length novel, The Rainbow Goblin Store, came in ninth place. The book, which was exported to six countries before publication, has been highly anticipated not only in Korea but also around the world....

From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature

Topic   From the Margins to the Center: Korean Mystery Literature   2023.08.07   Korean mystery literature originated in the unique conditions of the Japanese occupation. Introduced under the names of spy novels, detective stories, and detective novels, mystery literature was translated and adapted mainly from newspaper serials. A representative work is Arthur Conan Doyle’s Three Students, which Haemongsaeng adapted and published as Faithful Servent on Taeseomunyesinbo in 1918. Most of the works serialized in newspapers at the time were re-translations of works by Ruiko Kuriowa, a Japanese author of adapted novels. By the 1920s, adapted mystery novels moved out of newspapers and were published in magazines such as Hacksaengkye, Chungnyeon, and Dongmyung, and emphasized that they were intellectual works for readers with a certain level of reading ability, such as educated young adults and students.However, the writers who translated and wrote mystery literature w...

It was named an “international” book fair, but there were a few booths from overseas publishers as well as other international publishers or agents that participated as individual guests. Time has passed since then, and this year, the SIBF marked its 29th anniversary.Hosted by the Korean Publishers Association, this year’s SIBF was successfully held in COEX located in Samsung-dong, Seoul, over five days from June 14 to 18.

Fandom and Publishing

Topic   Fandom and Publishing Trend in the Korean publishing market in 2022   2022.09.05   I have talked with a number of editors from publishing companies about “profitable books.” They all said, “The results are mostly determined by how influential the author is. How many readers it can attract is also one of the key points of signing a contract.”While fewer people are reading books, more people hope to write books today. So, among the manuscripts flooding in, the writers who sign the contract at the end are those who are influential. The marketing capacity of the publisher is indeed important. But, in this market where capital decides the marketing power, it is more likely that you must bring in “people that don’t read” to make a book go best seller. Thus, it is clear that a publishing company prefers to publish books by those with a strong fandom, created before publication.      ...
