South Korea's publishing market based on category

South Korea's publishing market based on category   2019.12.09   The biggest characteristic of South Korea's publishing industry is that the portion of books on education and learning for young children to students of all ages is very large. South Korea's college-attendance rate is roughly 70 percent, which is one of the highest among OECD countries. According to a 2016 survey by the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education & Training (KRIVET), 47 percent of respondents said they went to college for a better job, 25 percent said they attended to learn more and 14 percent said they went to college because graduating from university would result in better treatment in society.

Time to Dive Into Korean History

One-Liner Quotes   Time to Dive Into Korean History Lawyer’s Pick   2024.01.02   Jung Hye-Jin is a Korean lawyer, who wrote the books May It Please the Court (Mirae Books) and When Names Become Law (Dongnyok Publishers).   Just thinking about Korea’s evolved reputation on the international scene makes me giddy. When I first went to the US over 30 years ago, and when I lived in the UK 20 years ago to study, one of the common phrases I heard was, “Where are you from, China or Japan?” Korea is no longer the country it used to be, when it didn’t have a distinct identity in the minds of Westerners. Kimchi, once unwelcome in dormitory communal kitchens because of its smell, has become a global favorite. Here are two books with unique perspectives on modern Korean history, explaining what happened inside Korean society that led to this major shift in perception outside of Korea.   ...

Rather than fading away over time,the memory remains, and everything else slowly wears away.     Han Kang’s novel published in 2014, Human Acts (Changbi Publishers), which won the Man Booker Prize in 2016, tells the story of the Gwangju May 18 Democratic Uprising* through the eyes of several characters.

From YouTube to Books

Topic   From YouTube to Books   2023.09.04   It was common to find books written by YouTubers on bookstore shelves in Korea this year. It is a phenomenon that has been around for a couple of years now, when publishers realized that they could turn subscribers into readers, and quickly started to sign popular YouTubers as authors. Even if you have never heard of the channel before, it is not hard to tell that the book’s author runs a YouTube channel. This is because, among other things, the copy on the book’s cover, “YouTube channel ○○○ with 10 million total views,” emphasizes the author’s experience more than anything else. I have a YouTube channel with 130,000 subscribers, and my new book has never been without a copy like this. It seems to have become one of the most important tasks for editors to draft a copy with up-to-date total subscribers and total views every time a new book is published.   ...

Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity

One-Liner Quotes   Fiction is a Journey Into the Complexity of Human Identity A Newly-Debuted Korean Novelist’s Pick   2023.09.04   Kim Ki-Tae has been publishing a number of short fiction stories depicting contemporary Korean society since he won the Dong-A Ilbo Shinchun Literary Prize in 2022. He is currently writing full-length novels based on world history.   The world is a jumbled mess, and humans cannot be explained by a single identity. I began to have a sense of this as I read Korean novels from the 1940s. From the mixed landscape at the end of the Japanese occupation to the rather abrupt independence and ideological conflict, the 1940s may be the most chaotic period in Korean history. The novels of this period portray human beings wandering in the midst of various crisscrossing powers.     Kim Nam-Cheon (1911-?) began his writing career in t...
