The “Contactless” Marketing Trend in the Era of COVID-19

The “Contactless” Marketing Trend in the Era of COVID-19   2021.04.05     The pandemic has changed the publishing industry   The virus, COVID-19, struck global industries and economies in January 2020. Our daily life has changed completely as well. The schools’ administration system almost froze as all the schools postponed the new semester. Libraries, art museums, museums, and stadiums had to close due to social-distancing. Schools that postponed the new semester a couple of times chose to open classes online. Publishers had to grope in the dark, putting a halt to publications or promotions of new titles that they have long been preparing for. It was a total nightmare. While all the cultural markets were engulfed in endless darkness, it was yet good news that the book market saw a relatively satisfactory performance.

Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do

Daegu, Gyeongsangbuk-do A City Infused with the Scent of Books   2021.04.05       Daegu Metropolitan City, located in the southern part of Gyeongsangbuk-do, is an inland basin where mountains, forests, springs, and wetlands make beautiful harmony. Being the epitome of “harmonious coexistence,” Daegu boasts a cordial mixture of fancy townscape and beautiful nature, where the past, present, and future coexist.

From Rendering Words to Conveying Culture

Image of K-Book   From Rendering Words to Conveying Culture     2026.09     “What do you think matters most when introducing Korean books to readers abroad?”   “What do you think matters most when introducing Korean books to readers abroad?” Survey results.   In this survey, the most common response was “translation that preserves the meaning of the original,” at 46.1 percent. “Understanding of Korean culture” came in second, at 26.3 percent.   What's interesting is that these two answers aren't as far apart as they might seem. Translating Korean literature into another language involves far more than simply converting Korean sentences into a foreign tongue. Only by understanding the rel...
