The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT

Topic   [Publishing & AI] The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT   2023.10.04   In 2016, Lee Se-Dol, one of the world’s greatest Go players, faced off against Alpha Go, an artificial intelligence (AI) program developed by Google’s Deep Mind, which was like the match of the century. Few expected Lee to lose, and Lee Se-Dol was humble enough to say he might lose one out of five games. But a few days later, the internet was abuzz with news of Lee’s shock defeat by Alpha Go. That was the beginning. Lee Se-Dol managed to get one win after a string of losses. His overall score was 1-4. In retrospect, the idea of a human beating Alpha Go, which had learned every recorded move in the game, was almost impossible. It was just that people didn’t realize the immense power of AI at the time.Fast-forward seven years to 2023 in Korea, and AI is being utilized across industries.

[TREND / EXPORT CASE]

A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers!

Export Case   A Special Convenience Store that Mesmerized Japanese Readers! The import case of Uncanny Convenience Store published by Shogakukan in Japan   2023.10.04   It was two years ago, in the fall of 2021, when I first heard about Uncanny Convenience Store (Namu Bench) through an email from a Japanese agent. At that point, the book had already gone through 15 printings in Korea, sold close to 100,000 copies, and had been adapted for drama and theater, which was enough to pique my interest. But it was the title and content of the novel that made me even more intrigued. It’s a “convenience store,” but inconvenient? What a humorous title! My interest in the book grew further. And the story of a tall, mysterious man with no memory becoming a convenience store clerk, and influencing the lives of those around him, was fascinating. As convenience stores are an integral part of modern life in Japan, we knew that this story would appeal to the Japanese public. Th...
