A Diagnosis of South Korea's E-book Market Amid Subscription Competition

A Diagnosis of South Korea's E-book Market Amid Subscription Competition   2019.06.10   On May 9, the Korean Publishers Association held a seminar on current issues that affect the digital publishing industry called 'The Attack of Netflix, Fixed Price System for Books Challenged'. Participants at the seminar debated whether e-book subscription services and the fixed price system for books can co-exist in South Korea. Subscription services refer to online services where members can read an unlimited number of books online after paying low monthly fees, like Netflix. Meanwhile, South Korea's fixed price regulations for book sales prevent bookstores from lowering prices beyond what publishers demand in order to protect small-to-medium sized bookstores and publishers. With the rise of these monthly subscription services, worries have been growing they may shake up the entire fixed price system altogether.The seminar kicked off with an introduction from Chung Won-ok, a senior...

The History and Characteristics of South Korean Copyright Legislation

The History and Characteristics of South Korean Copyright Legislation   2019.06.10   Copyright born from publications, publishing industry bolstered by copyright   Copyright came to be thanks to the evolution of publishing, but now, the publishing industry is becoming fitter thanks to copyright.   The Korean word 'jeojakgwon' comes from the English word 'copyright'. After the world's first copyright law was established in 1809 in the U.K., this word has been used allacross the globe. To directly define this word, it refers to the right to copy or make duplicates of something. The word 'copyright' didn't appear from thin air, and anyone can easily ask how the word came about - what someone tried to do that involved copying. The answer can be derived from Gutenberg's printing press. Prior to Gutenberg's invention, mankind could only create documents through writing by hand (on papyrus, clay tablets, parchment, bamboo, etc). With the printi...

Publishing Strategies Targeting the MZ Generation

Topic   Publishing Strategies Targeting the MZ Generation   2024.02.19   Disappearance of books and/or readers   Is it the disappearance of books, or is it the disappearance of book readers? Or is it both?According to the National Reading Survey released by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism in South Korea in 2021, the “annual comprehensive reading rates (the percentage of people who read or listened to at least one paperback, e-book, or audiobook)” for adults aged 19 and older was only 47.5%. That is, 1 in 2 adults did not read or listen to a single book during the year. The belief that literacy is proportional to the amount of reading has become a myth. With a basic illiteracy rate of 1%, Korea boasts the highest literacy levels in the world, but the number of books read is plummeting year after year. In other words, it is the age where people no longer read books.However, despite the pessimistic outlook for the publishing ind...

Reading: Sorting Out the Unchanging from the Changing

One-Liner Quotes   Reading: Sorting Out the Unchanging from the Changing Sportsperson’s Pick   2024.02.19   Jeong Ji-Hyeon has been climbing for 21 years. She served as a national athlete and as a coach for the national team. She still hasn’t forgotten the joy of competing and now works as a referee for Sport Climbing Asia. She also runs a center for people who enjoy climbing as a lifestyle sport.   Although I am currently doing sports as a career, it was not my major. My major was Korean language education. I became a sportsperson by chance, but I also used to teach writing to elementary school students. I remember coming across the book One Day I Died (Baram Books), which left a strong impression on me at that time. At first, I doubted that it was a book for children. I had to read it for class, but I found the story to be quite compelling. I’m not sure if the kids in my class at the time enjoyed it. But, if you have ever lost someone...
