Over the years, I have explored different genres, from comics to romance to thrillers, and each one has stirred different emotions and insights in me. However, the book that has left the most profound impact on me is Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 (Minumsa) by Cho Nam-Joo. This book resonated with me on a personal level, as if I were reading my own diary.

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe 2018.06.28 As we are approaching the third quarter of this year, K-thrillers(Korean thrillers) are emerging as the new leading force in the world’s publishing market. And at the center of that whirlwind are authors like Jeong You-jeong, Kim Un-su and Seo Mi-ae. The attention on these authors - whose work can be summarized into three words: mystery, thriller, crime - has been heating up from global publishers. Not only has interest been burgeoning in Europe, especially English speaking countries there, but also in Asia. One point to note is that this interest from the global publishing market in Korean literature, especially K-thrillers, is not entirely new. Global publishers, especially those in English dominant countries, have consistently been drawn to titles in this genre. However, if that interest had not led to exports before, soft interest at home and a lack of sales marketing for these books were likely to blame. Wha...

Exports to Southeast Asia

Exports to Southeast Asia 2018.05.30 As publication business exchanges with China have declined exorbitantly over the past 18 months, South Korea's publishing industry has turned its eye towards Southeast Asia and exports to this region have been increasing as a result. Along with efforts to make up for the gap created by declining publishing trade with China, South Korean publishers seem to have come to the conclusion they must expand their territories to move in line with today's changes. Exchanges with those in the publishing industry in Southeast Asia began around 2005 and have been continued ever since. However, one thing that stands out between then and now is the fact that Korean publishers are now creating more diverse content in a number of areas and they are also making more aggressive moves to enter the market in Southeast Asia. On top of this, the 'traveling book fair' project that has been operated by KPIPA over the past several y...

K-Book in Berlin

K-Book in Berlin M&K's Monica Gu talks South Korean books 2019.09.09 It is rare for German publishers to release South Korean books.Considering this, the first exhibition for South Korean books in Germany, K-Book in Berlin embarked on a mission to spread the word about great South Korean books. It's been three years since I came to Germany for personal reasons. As I run a publishing company in South Korea, I visit bookstores and libraries in Germany often in search of good ideas for publications. Naturally, I found myself seeking out South Korean books translated into German, and I found Han Kang's The Vegetarian (Changbi) and Jeong You-jeong's Seven Years of Darkness (Eunhaengnamu). The Literature Translation Institute of Korea played a huge role in getting these books to German readers, but usually it is rare for German publishers to publish South Korean books all on their own. Being aware of many excellent books in S...

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays

A Society Easily Hurt: Readers In Search of Emotional Essays 2018.05.30 A list of bestselling books at times can be perceived as a miniature version of a society. Especially at times like now when far fewer people are buying books, the act of purchasing a book reflects a person's strong want to own a book even at the expense of paying one's hard-earned money. Not only do trendy books sell, but books that accurately secure society's general flow and emotions do well. From that perspective, looking at bestsellers becomes an act of analysis into a society. At present time in 2018, emotional essays are seeing no end to their fame in South Korean bookstores. For industry leaders like Kyobo Book Centre and Aladin last year, the bestselling book in 2017 was Lee Ki-ju's Temperature of Language. The book shows very well the author's career as a speech writer for the presidential office following years as a journalist. Previously, Lee was known for his books o...
