K-BOOK Import Case in Germany

Export Case   K-BOOK Import Case in Germany The start of a new story   2022.04.04   In 2017, when a colleague at our publishing house came across the title The Things You Can Only See When You Slow Down (Suo Books) by Haemin Sunim and suggested we buy the German rights, no one thought that this would be the beginning of a new era. Of course, we assumed that the book would sell well ? why else would we want to publish it? Nevertheless, we were surprised how quickly the first edition sold out. In the meantime, over 40,000 copies have crossed the counter and the 7th edition has just been printed. One reason for the great success in Germany was certainly Haemin Sunim's reading tour, which we organised in 2018, as well as his activity on social media, where he has millions of followers.

Writer Choi Jin-Young

Korean Authors   Writer Choi Jin-Young An Endearing Exploration of Life and Love   2025.03.10   When taking a path, a person who constantly asks questions and seeks answers gains deeper and broader insights as they go. The same is true for fiction. A story finds its direction through questions about people, love, and ourselves, and it is only when it resonates with a wider audience that it gains literary and popular recognition. Since her debut, Choi Jin-Young has continued to pursue her own literary direction and creative writing style, and has developed a rich world of works. Writing fiction for her is a journey to find answers to life’s questions while giving love to readers and, most importantly, to herself.       It’s an honor to have you with us on K-Book Trends.

Korean Book Designer’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Korean Book Designer’s Pick   2022.04.04     The book Self-respect Persons (Eotteonchaeg) is the second title by Kim Ji-Soo after, The Philosophers of Their Own Lives (Eotteonchaeg), which was the first interview collection of “Kim Ji-Soo’s Interstellar,” an interview series read by more than 2 million people since 2015.As a designer, I receive book design requests pretty often. I get to meet books of various fields, and most of the time, I am the first to take a look at the raw manuscript as I have to make a design that best suits the story. I know that a rough look through the book and reading the story thoroughly are different, but sometimes I feel like the story is mine even though I lightly flip through the pages during the designing process. And the book that gave me the feeling the most and the book that I indulged in reading and made it mine was Self-respect Persons. The depth of the int...
