Facilitation of Sub-rights and Their Markets

Publishing Industry   Facilitation of Sub-rights and Their Markets Plays, Films, Merchandising Goods, Etc.   2021.09.06   As Korea’s soft power expands, more people in the world are taking an interest in Korean culture. The best leaders of Korea’s soft power are BTS, director Bong Joon-Ho who has presented various movies including “Parasite,” and actress Youn Yuh-Jung’s achievement through the movie “Minari.” The values of Korean pop culture are growing, and many people worldwide are sharing Korean culture. Such a phenomenon implies that the opportunities and spaces for sharing Korean culture worldwide develop simultaneously at a rapid pace. It was, therefore, a natural result that people began to pay more attention to Korean publishing content ? the source of the OSMU (once source, multi-use) ? in addition to the phenomenon. All this means that it has become a reality that the number of different usage cases of sub-rights based on Korean publication con...

Current Status of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System (BookNet Korea)

Publishing Industry   Current Status of the Korean Standard Publishing Distribution Data Hub System (BookNet Korea) Start-Challenge-Change-Global   2021.08.02   In terms of the market volume, Korea is the 6th largest publishing powerhouse in the world, following the United States, China, Japan, Germany, and Great Britain, who are leaders of the global publishing market, publishing more than 65 thousand titles each year. Various excellent K-books have been recently mesmerizing international readers alongside K-pop, K-drama, and K-movies as well.   Start   However, let’s look into the environment surrounding the distribution of publications in Korea.

Book Funds and Publication

Book Funds and Publication   2021.07.05   From support and cooperation to investment and profit   It is impossible to trace the origin of book funds. They would have existed from the infancy stage of the publishing industry as one of the various ways of publication. Certain stories could be deemed good stories necessary for the world, but for them to be published in the market as a product called books, you need capital. Funds might have been used as a means to raise money. Indeed, the nature of funds in the past would have been closer to support and cooperation (of course, I cannot look into what those fund-raisers had in mind), whereas funds today are more focused on investment and profit-sharing (people might have different thoughts as well but most of the funds I participate in are supportive and cooperative).In the Korean publishing industry, book funds only account for a small proportion, both in terms of attempts and size of investments. It was the early 21st cent...

The Rise of Literary Agencies

The Rise of Literary Agencies   2021.06.07   There are not many literary agencies in Korea. Most of the publishers prefer working directly with authors over cooperating with agencies. It was common for publishers to think that it is safer to pay more of an advance to overseas writers who have already finished writing their manuscript or are expected to finish them soon rather than domestic writers who have not yet completed their manuscript.The most significant characteristic of the Korean publishing industry would be “diversity.” The system in which up to 6 thousand small- and medium-sized publishers make more than 80 thousand physical titles each year has greatly diversified the types of books published in Korea, but the limited average sales of each title was an expected outcome. In such an environment, it is difficult to invest a sufficient amount of development fee for each title. Hence, even though the literary agent succeeded in discovering fine manuscripts or o...

Audiobooks: Issues and Future Developments

Audiobooks: Issues and Future Developments   2021.05.03     Recent issues surrounding audiobooks   The voice service provided in announcements, news reading services, or e-book devices uses TTS (Text-to-Speech) technology that converts written letters into sound. As it has no accent and cuts the sentence in weird places, we have to track what it said while listening to the voice. Recently, as more people read books while traveling, e-books are transforming into audiobooks. Most people wish to hear a human’s voice when listening to one. The audiobook market is growing rapidly, but the production time, cost, and technological limitations have been slowing progress down. However, as the A.I. (artificial intelligence) voice synthesis technology is now being applied where it can process natural language, synthesize voices, and recognize the context, listeners can feel as if a real voice actor or actress is reading the story. If this technology becomes capable of expres...
