It was named an “international” book fair, but there were a few booths from overseas publishers as well as other international publishers or agents that participated as individual guests. Time has passed since then, and this year, the SIBF marked its 29th anniversary.Hosted by the Korean Publishers Association, this year’s SIBF was successfully held in COEX located in Samsung-dong, Seoul, over five days from June 14 to 18.

Travelers Return After COVID-19

Topic   Travelers Return After COVID-19   2023.06.05   The trend of travel books in Korea before and after COVID-19   After the Korean government lifted the bar for overseas travel in 1989, the major driver behind the growth of the travel book market in the 1990s was guidebooks, which mainly delivered information about the destination country. The introduction of the Across the World (RH Korea Co., Ltd., formerly published by Random House) series, which was the translated version of the magazine How to Walk on Earth published by Diamond Big in Japan, opened the first generation of travel guidebooks in Korea. In the late 1990s, the second-generation guidebooks such as the Centuplicate Your Joy (RH Korea) series and the Just Go (Sigongsa Co., Ltd.) series published, which the foreign rights were bought from Japanese publishers and translated in Korean. Since then, those series developed along with the revised editions and Korean writers began to actively engag...

Export Case   The Marketing Strategy forthe Chinese Version of The Mummy Book A Korean picture book sold more than 30K copies in a year:What was its secret to touching the hearts of Chinese moms?   2023.06.05   I remember the day I first opened the book, The Mummy Book (Korean publisher: Woongjin ThinkBig, Simplified Chinese Version Title: 我的?? (My Mom)), during the planning meeting deciding whether to publish it. On the sky blue cover, there was a round-faced young girl with curiosity all over her face, and its smooth feeling brought me back to the desk as I returned from work. I soon fell into the story. The book’s first page shows a mother and “I” lying silent on a bed and starts with a sentence that says, “A mom was born as I was born.” The beginning of the book leads readers on an adventure observing a mother from a young girl’s point of view.Many picture books under the theme of mother, such as Anthony Browne’s My Mum, a Chinese classic children’s...
