The “Contactless” Marketing Trend in the Era of COVID-19

The “Contactless” Marketing Trend in the Era of COVID-19   2021.04.05     The pandemic has changed the publishing industry   The virus, COVID-19, struck global industries and economies in January 2020. Our daily life has changed completely as well. The schools’ administration system almost froze as all the schools postponed the new semester. Libraries, art museums, museums, and stadiums had to close due to social-distancing. Schools that postponed the new semester a couple of times chose to open classes online. Publishers had to grope in the dark, putting a halt to publications or promotions of new titles that they have long been preparing for. It was a total nightmare. While all the cultural markets were engulfed in endless darkness, it was yet good news that the book market saw a relatively satisfactory performance. The virus-driven shock to offline bookstores was dire. However, for online bookstores, their sales record soared, led by children’s and teen boo...

Introducing Korean Sci-Fi!   2021.03.08     Beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea   To pick the genre that the public has actively consumed in Korea for the past several years, it would be "Science Fiction." However, considering the massive fandom and cultural influence of Sci-Fi in other countries such as the United States, it has not been long since the public in Korea has highlighted the genre. This is why some people think that the Sci-Fi syndrome in Korea is a sudden phenomenon. However, Korea's Sci-Fi genre has been shaped to become what it is today from about 100 years ago, creating the foundation for today's Sci-Fi to be at the center of people's attention. Then, learning the history of Korean Sci-Fi will be a good way to understand it better and get a clearer glimpse of its future outlook. The beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea goes back to 1907. The first Sci-Fi work recorded in history isserialized in the journal Taegukhakbo- a journal for Koreans studying in Japan, wh...
