Korean Authors Writer Kim Sang-Wook A recommendation for a science book that all can enjoy, while retaining its essence 2022.01.03 Regardless of the sector, it is meaningful to lower the entry barrier to make it more accessible and give a sense of closeness to the general public.

2020 Publication Trends in Korea

2020 Publication Trends in Korea 2020.02.03 Korea has fully entered a low-fertility and aging society. The number of students is rapidly decreasing, and for domestic colleges, some of the majors have been taken off the curriculum or were integrated due to a lack of applicants for 2020.
