The Uncanny Convenience Store’s Magical Journey in Taiwan

Export Case   The Uncanny Convenience Store’s Magical Journey in Taiwan   2023.04.03   Popular Korean novel Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) has experienced a very magical journey in Taiwan. Before publishing the book in Taiwan, Solo Press (寂寞出版社) had published Please Look After Mom (Changbi) with a relatively serious and heavy topic as well as Dallergut Dream Department Store (Sam & Parkers), a bestselling novel in Korea.   * K-Book Trends Vol. 46 ?

Singer-Songwriter’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Singer-Songwriter’s Pick   2023.04.03   First and foremost, I chose one book about Korean pop music. There are more foreign readers that know about K-Pop than me these days. So, I chose the story of a master that is like the starting point of K-Pop history. And another book I chose is an interesting non-fiction book about key incidents in modern Korean history. One of my foreign friends that used to be greatly interested in the Gwangju Uprising motivated me to pick the book.     The first book I would like to introduce is Shin Jung-Hyeon’s My Guitar Never Sleeps (Haeto). Shin Jung-Hyeon is a rock musician and producer that led Korean pop music in the 1960s and 70s. His sons ? Shin Dae-Cheol, Shin Yoon-Cheol, and Shin Seok-Cheol ? also became legendary musicians in Korea. But, I realized that there were many things that I was neglectful of as I only used to listen to his music.It was right aft...

Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons

Topic   Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons   2023.03.13   Status of Korean webnovel and webtoon market   Korea’s webnovel and webtoon market has been growing rapidly, representing the “K-content” category. The business has been expanding into other countries as well, such as other Asian countries and the US. Derivative works based on webnovels and webtoons are generating income through various channels. As can be seen in the success of the recently-aired drama “Reborn Rich,” IPs (intellectual property) based on publishing content such as webnovels and webtoons are expanding into other industries such as drama, film, animation, and games, securing the original content with relatively less investment. According to the research conducted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), the size of the webnovel market grew from 741.5 billion won in 2020 to 1.85 tril...

Consequently, the then ruler of Joseon, King Injo (r. 1623-1649), fled the royal palace and retreated to Namhansanseong fortress (Namhansanseong is a historical mountain fortress city 25km southeast of Seoul, South Korea), where he resisted.
