K-Book in Berlin

K-Book in Berlin M&K's Monica Gu talks South Korean books 2019.09.09 It is rare for German publishers to release South Korean books.Considering this, the first exhibition for South Korean books in Germany, K-Book in Berlin embarked on a mission to spread the word about great South Korean books. It's been three years since I came to Germany for personal reasons. As I run a publishing company in South Korea, I visit bookstores and libraries in Germany often in search of good ideas for publications. Naturally, I found myself seeking out South Korean books translated into German, and I found Han Kang's The Vegetarian (Changbi) and Jeong You-jeong's Seven Years of Darkness (Eunhaengnamu). The Literature Translation Institute of Korea played a huge role in getting these books to German readers, but usually it is rare for German publishers to publish South Korean books all on their own. Being aware of many excellent books in S...

The growth of K-Webtoons and strategy for global intellectual property

The growth of K-Webtoons and strategy for global intellectual property 2018.01 The emerging of Lezhin Comics, a webtoon platform, in 2013 was an important catalyst in activating paid-for content markets in South Korea and also brought about the birth of a range of cartoon platforms. Previously the webtoon services on Internet portals like Naver and Daum were free of charge and gained many fans, expanding the market, but Lezhin Comics created their own success by handling genres difficult to address in public portals(adults only content) and seizing exclusive content. They also applied paid-for services strategies that can be seen in mobile and online games. After, similar paid-for services for adults appeared and today, Kakao Page currently leads the paid-for cartoon market after having overcome its early losses by launching a 'wait for free content' service, where readers can wait a certain amount of time to access previously paid-for content. South ...

Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges 2019.09.09 Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan. Travel into layers of time The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today. For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination. It is a port city that leads to the Pacific...
