Popular Korean Webtoons in the US

Popular Korean Webtoons in the US   2021.04.05     In Korea and Japan, it is common for one or two writers or illustrators to complete comics from their beginning until the end. However, comics in the US are different in that the publisher owns the copyright of all the characters. Numerous writers and illustrators come together and create stories endlessly centering around the characters based on the copyrights. This is why you can easily find comics of about 32 pages mainly about masculine characters and have limited storylines. Here, Korean webtoons are blowing a new wind of change in the US comics market, appeasing a female readership as well with various characters, subjects, and genres (romance, fantasy, action, martial arts, boy’s love, sports, daily life, comedy, office life, entertainment, etc.) continuing to grow exponentially in the market.   Creative, ingenious Korean webtoons are leading the fourth Hallyu (Korean Wave) across the world. ...

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea   2021.02.08       It is not an exaggeration to say that most language books developed in Korea are focused on English education and that most of the exported books are English books for children and elementary schoolers. Language books made in Korea consist of multiple series and are categorized into different age groups and levels, not to mention the content and services provided alongside them. However, no matter how good the books are organized in the demanded style of overseas buyers and consumers, it is difficult for them to end up signing a sales contract.Yet, there are still many cases where language materials made in Korea are exported to other countries.
