Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countries in Cooperation with Korean Agency

Export Case   Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countriesin Cooperation with Korean Agency   2022.10.04   Amid an unprecedented wave of interest in Korean content, through my agency, I have the privilege of helping children’s, YA, and crossover Korean books across all genres to spread beyond Korea’s borders and into new markets outside of Asia. Korean fiction for adult readers is gaining significant attention and experiencing a real boom in many Western markets, including English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. But children’s books are lagging behind that trend, perhaps because publishers often look for familiar settings that they think parents and children will recognise and identify themselves more easily within. But the movement toward a more diverse publishing list is reaching across all reading ages and helping open up catalogues to more and more works in translation. As a result, many of the Korean titles I have sold were t...

Imagination Sketched in Colored Pencils: The Pencil by Author Kim Hyeeun

Korean Authors   Imagination Sketched in Colored Pencils:The Pencil by Author Kim Hyeeun     2026.05     Trees are felled whenever a pencil is made. Author Kim Hyeeun is a picture book author who reflects on the sacrifice of trees. Her book, The Pencil, was born from a heart that cherishes both art and nature.

Fandom and Publishing

Topic   Fandom and Publishing Trend in the Korean publishing market in 2022   2022.09.05   I have talked with a number of editors from publishing companies about “profitable books.” They all said, “The results are mostly determined by how influential the author is. How many readers it can attract is also one of the key points of signing a contract.”While fewer people are reading books, more people hope to write books today. So, among the manuscripts flooding in, the writers who sign the contract at the end are those who are influential. The marketing capacity of the publisher is indeed important. But, in this market where capital decides the marketing power, it is more likely that you must bring in “people that don’t read” to make a book go best seller. Thus, it is clear that a publishing company prefers to publish books by those with a strong fandom, created before publication.      ...

Oh Kang-Nam, Professor of Comparative Religion

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑨] Oh Kang-Nam, Professor of Comparative Religion A Keen Insight Toward Religion, Society, and Life   2022.09.05   We all have our own faith in mind about how to live our lives.

The field of “comparative religion” may be somewhat unfamiliar to some, but it is one of the religious studies comparing various religions and beliefs throughout the world. People who specialize in comparative religious study have a deeper understanding of the most fundamental and philosophical interest of religions. Following is the interview with professor Oh Kang-Nam, who has devoted his life to valuable research and writing about the beliefs and practices of human beings ba...
