Round Ground

Round Ground Where dreams of a world full of well-rounded lives exist   2019.10.07   How does play begin? There are times when one ponders whether play has turned into learning. So much educational material and the media rarely think twice about directing children how to play, and caregivers are always eager to lead and interfere when children play. One may think there are right and wrong ways to play, but play will always be play. Playing is enough when it's enjoyed no matter the process, with fun materials and tools. Everything the eye can see, whether it be tree leaves, bubbles, passersby or the house you live in, can be materials for play or even play itself if it's visible and tangible. Children are aware of this joyful fact more than anyone else, and Round Ground is the place where that fun for children is raised to another level.     Even just listening to the name Round Ground is fun. What meaning does the name Round Ground carry? Could you also introduce y...

South Korean web novels become a trend of their own

South Korean web novels become a trend of their own   2019.09.09   The web novel market in South Korea has been expanding at a breakneck pace, with readers drawn to their easy-to-read content. According to the Korea Creative Content Agency, the web novel market in South Korea was estimated to be around 10 billion won in 2013, and by 2017, it had expanded to 270 billion won.

In 2016, 8.2 percent of all web novelists were found to be earning more than 10 million won per year.   Web novels with unlimited versatility stand in the center of a new trend   The number of ways web novels can transform themselves is unlimited, and their influence is only growing through 'one source, multi-use' content.

2019 South Korea-China Publishing Copyright Exchanges Event

2019 South Korea-China Publishing Copyright Exchanges Event   2019.12.09   Currently, in 2019, many South Korean publications can be seen throughout the world regardless of genre, including literature, books on hobbies, learning languages and children's books. Thanks to the efforts of many publishing experts and professionals inside and outside the country, South Korean publications have now started to become known overseas. However, exchanges came to a standstill after active engagement for many years with one country. This country was China. After political conflict arose between the two countries over the deployment of an anti-missile system called THAAD in South Korea in 2016, bilateral publication copyright deals were also affected. Three years after this issue presented itself, relationships were mended for the first time in three years at the “2019 South Korea-China Publishing Copyright Exchanges Event”.     One-on-One Business Matching Between South Korea...

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe   2018.06.28   As we are approaching the third quarter of this year, K-thrillers(Korean thrillers) are emerging as the new leading force in the world’s publishing market. And at the center of that whirlwind are authors like Jeong You-jeong, Kim Un-su and Seo Mi-ae. The attention on these authors - whose work can be summarized into three words: mystery, thriller, crime - has been heating up from global publishers. Not only has interest been burgeoning in Europe, especially English speaking countries there, but also in Asia. One point to note is that this interest from the global publishing market in Korean literature, especially K-thrillers, is not entirely new. Global publishers, especially those in English dominant countries, have consistently been drawn to titles in this genre. However, if that interest had not led to exports before, soft interest at home and a lack of sales marketing for these books were likely to blame. Wha...

Exports to Southeast Asia

Exports to Southeast Asia   2018.05.30       As publication business exchanges with China have declined exorbitantly over the past 18 months, South Korea's publishing industry has turned its eye towards Southeast Asia and exports to this region have been increasing as a result. Along with efforts to make up for the gap created by declining publishing trade with China, South Korean publishers seem to have come to the conclusion they must expand their territories to move in line with today's changes. Exchanges with those in the publishing industry in Southeast Asia began around 2005 and have been continued ever since. However, one thing that stands out between then and now is the fact that Korean publishers are now creating more diverse content in a number of areas and they are also making more aggressive moves to enter the market in Southeast Asia. On top of this, the 'traveling book fair' project that has been operated by KPIPA over the past several y...

Characteristics of South Korean Web Novel Platforms and Ventures Overseas

Characteristics of South Korean Web Novel Platforms and Ventures Overseas From a Community Into a Medium:South Korea's Web Novel Platforms Evolve   2017.9.11   There is a Korean phrase that goes: pearls are only good when they have been strung together. It means even if you have good resources, they will be of little good if you don't use them properly. South Korean genre literature used to be like this. There were many talented authors who could write genre literature and fans who wished to read it, even if their numbers fell short of other countries where genre literature developed far sooner than South Korea like Japan, the United States and places in Europe. However, there was not a platform for them to converge together. There were many reasons why South Korean genre literature took so long in taking off but one of the biggest was the lack of a means of communication between authors and readers. Another was the absence of a platform on which authors could make serial po...
