South Korea's Imprint System in Publishing

South Korea's Imprint System in Publishing   2019.10.07   Most well-known South Korean publishers have several imprints (independent brands under the same publishing house). This number can go up to double-digits for large publishing houses, while smaller publishers' number of imprints is usually in the single-digit range.
