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...

South Korea's Publishing Industry in H1 2019 and Forecasts for H2

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 ...

North Korea Seen Through Books, and the Unification of the Korean Peninsula

North Korea Seen Through Books, and the Unification of the Korean Peninsula   2019.08.05   On the last day of June this year, a historic event happened in the border village of Panmunjom straddling the two Koreas when the leaders of the United States and North Korea met for the first time. Just a mere 62 km away from Seoul, this location was where the ceasefire armistice was signed in July 1953 to put a stop to the Korean War that had raged for three years between North and South Korea. Although U.S. President Donald Trump stepped over to North Korea for just a minute and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for 53 minutes, the image of the two men shaking hands heightened hopes that the Korean peninsula could move further towards denuclearization and peace. There are several books that address this reality on the Korean peninsula that have received much interest from the publishing industry in South Korea. Books that help children and adolescents understand the reality o...

South Korean bestsellers in August Bestsellers at South Korea's biggest online bookstores, YES24 and Aladin   2019.09.09   As of the third week of August 2019, readers' interest in bilateral relations between South Korea and Japan peaked, largely attributed to a diplomatic rift between the two countries. As a result, Anti-Japan Tribalism rose to become the best-selling book at YES24 and second best-selling book at Aladin last month. Essay collection Why Travel ticked down to third and fourth place in the bestseller lists respectively, but it showed sustained popularity. Other genres that made the bestseller lists last month included novels, essay collections, comic books for children and exam preparation books. Among August bestsellers was a book that was published almost a year ago. Im Hong-taek's 90's Kids Are Coming was released in November last year and despite it not being a new book, it rapidly rose to the higher rungs of the bestseller lists. This was thanks to So...
