Publishing Industry   New Approaches to Education in the Korean Publishing Industry “It will work out somehow, as we’ve started!”   2023.01.02   The Foundation of the Book Publishing Industry in Korea   There are a great many publishing houses in Korea. The number exceeds 70 thousand or falls to 2 thousand depending on how you approach the term “publishing.” Either way, the number is still quite a lot.

As of the end of last year, the number of firms that reported their type as “publishing” to the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism was 71,319, including newspaper and magazine publishers.

Publishing Industry   MCST Announces the 2022-2026 PublishingIndustry Promotion Plan Fostering K-Culture through Books and Building a Cultural Powerhouse through Publishing   2022.11.07   “Books” are the core content that has been with humanity for a long period of time. However, the domain of each type of content and the boundary between them have become unclear these days. Today, publishers are not just coming up with publishable content, but are expanding their business into e-books and audiobooks, not to mention other cultural fields such as the film, game, and music industries. As such, the publishing industry takes on different content-based roles, crossing the traditional frontier of “print books.”However, unlike the diversified channels for publishing content, readership is falling every year. People now prefer video services like TV, YouTube, and Netflix rather than books. The average annual percentage of Koreans reading books is 47.5...

Publishing Industry   The Current State of Korea’s Libraries and TheirRelation to the Publishing Industry   2021.11.01     Libraries have been around for a very long time in Korea, but the same cannot be said for libraries that fall under the modern definition. Pioneers who wanted to establish a new country as the late 19th century Joseon Dynasty passed, followed by the early 20th century Korean Empire, had the goal of establishing libraries under the modern concept. However, due to the arrival of Japanese colonization, they could not achieve the goal, and the concept of libraries changed as they became more of a tool for colonization. Finally, in 1945, colonization was brought to an end, and the country was liberated, but hardship struck with the Korean War that followed soon after. However, with the growth of the economy and the expansion of democracy, libraries have been endlessly changing and advancing to support the growth of citizens, the real...
