Author Serang Chung

Author Serang Chung A charming author and her fascinating story   2020.03.02   Is there anything more exciting than imagination? Many people agree with the idea that if you take away imagination from a human being, you will see nothing left. Author Serang Chung would nod her head to this more than anyone for sure. She is someone that has boundless imagination. Besides, the world she created makes not only herself but everyone joyful. So her imagination brought to reality through letters is now turning into a video, going beyond paper books.

Characteristics of South Korean Web Novel Platforms and Ventures Overseas

Characteristics of South Korean Web Novel Platforms and Ventures Overseas From a Community Into a Medium:South Korea's Web Novel Platforms Evolve   2017.9.11   There is a Korean phrase that goes: pearls are only good when they have been strung together. It means even if you have good resources, they will be of little good if you don't use them properly. South Korean genre literature used to be like this. There were many talented authors who could write genre literature and fans who wished to read it, even if their numbers fell short of other countries where genre literature developed far sooner than South Korea like Japan, the United States and places in Europe. However, there was not a platform for them to converge together. There were many reasons why South Korean genre literature took so long in taking off but one of the biggest was the lack of a means of communication between authors and readers. Another was the absence of a platform on which authors could make serial po...

South Korea's Publishing Industry in H1 2019 and Forecasts for H2 Local publishing industry issues seen through bestseller and reader data analyses   2019.08.05   What kind of changes took place in the first half of 2019 for South Korea's publishing industry? First of all, typical for the first six months of every year, there were many books that looked back on the previous year and set new goals for the current year. Books that carried serious ruminations about life were snapped up by readers. And for the first time in a long time, liberal arts books -mostly philosophical books, did better than books in other categories. Befitting the age of new media, various programs introducing books could be seen on television, YouTube and podcasts. Also, due to a controversy over the Korean language section of South Korea's national college entrance exam last year, educational books on the Korean language saw a surge in interest. This year will mark the 100th anniversary of the March 1 ...

Golden Bough

Golden Bough Fresh! Fun! Creative! The Growth of South Korea's 'Genre Literature' Minumsa Publishing Group's Imprint "Golden Bough" Specializing in Genre Literature   2017.8.18   Genre literature refers to novels that deal with a number of subjects, like horror, science fiction, chivalry, fear, mystery, fantasy and romance.

South Korea's 'Genre Literature'

South Korea's 'Genre Literature' Jumping Beyond Korea and into the World   2017.8.18   It is a pity but before the 1990s South Korea did not have the basis for 'genre literature.' It was, perhaps, due to the situation of the country where there was no room for people to laugh and cry over various works or at times, fall into imaginary worlds beyond their dreams. The biggest reason was due to the fact the country lacked pop culture that could be loved and adored by the public following the military rule of Japan and the Korean War.     The history of South Korea's 'genre literature'   'Genre literature' in South Korea has recently been readying its wings to fly after going through many ups and downs for years. The beginning of literary genres in South Korea can be traced back to the mid-to-late 1990s when the Internet took off in South Korea. The Internet provided a place where users could fully express themselves at a time when there were not many opportunit...
