Dreaming of a Different Peace as We Depart from Houyhnhnms

Topic   Dreaming of a Different Peace as We Depart from Houyhnhnms   2024.08.05   The 2024 Seoul International Book Fair (SIBF) has concluded with great success. During the peak hours when the crowd surged, I found myself in a state of constant anxiety, hoping that everything would go smoothly. As visitors queued up, stretching so far that the end of the line was out of sight, and the temperature inside rose, making the air conditioning struggle, my heart tightened. Yet, now I breathe a sigh of relief that the event ended without major incidents.   Main posters of 2024 SIBF     Challenges in preparing for the 2024 Seoul International Book Fair   This year’s preparation for the Seoul International Book Fair was fraught with challenges. Traditionally held in Hall A on the first floor of COEX, we were informed last year to reduce the event...

Factors Behind the Success of Korean Webtoons and Webnovels in the Global Marketplace

Export Case   Factors Behind the Success of Korean Webtoons and Webnovelsin the Global Marketplace Based on the Southeast Asian market, including Thailand   2024.08.05   Korean webtoons and webnovels are making waves in the global content market. In particular, they are drawing global attention with great success in Southeast Asian countries, such as Thailand.The scalability of secondary use of IP is the most notable factor these days. Many webnovels and webtoons are being adapted into various media, such as dramas, movies, and games, providing publishers and media companies with additional opportunities for monetization. This, coupled with the influence of the Korean Wave, is creating a synergistic effect. The global popularity of K-Pop and Korean dramas has increased worldwide interest in Korean culture, and this has naturally led to a greater interest in Korean webnovels and webtoons. As you can see in the image below, this is clearly evident in the statistics...

Want to Know More About Korean Architecture?

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ②] Want to Know More About Korean Architecture?   2024.07.01   I start this article with the confession that writing an introduction to English books on Korean architecture is perhaps even more challenging than writing an English book on Korean architecture itself, primarily because the absolute number of such books is so small. Considering the fact that the Korean architecture market is not small at all, that many of the world’s leading architects have left their legacies in Korea, and that Korea has consistently participated in international architectural events such as the Venice Biennale, this is somewhat surprising. This is even more true when we consider that there are a significant number of people in the Korean architectural community who have had first-hand experience in other countries through studying or working abroad and are familiar with foreign languages. For a country that exports so many th...

Korea Today and the Charm of Korean Culture

Special Project   [English Books in Korea ①] Korea Today and the Charm of Korean Culture   2024.06.03   I’m pleased to be able to introduce the English edition of my book about Korea through this interview. This is because such an opportunity does not come around often, and because through this, I can draw the attention of the industry and readers in this harsh climate where the number of English books about Korea is decreasing rather than increasing.One keyword that automatically comes to mind when you think of English books about Korea is “Kinokuniya” bookstores in Japan. I was literally overwhelmed by the number of English books about Japan that I saw at Kinokuniya Bookstore in Japantown, San Francisco, US. On the other hand, the number of English books published in Korea is far too little, and the fields are focused on culture and language, with very few on economics, society, practical skills, and people. What’s more, the number of titles is shrinking.M...

Publishing Kim Hyesoon and International Poetry

Export Case   Publishing Kim Hyesoon and International Poetry   2024.06.03   New Directions was founded in 1936 by the pioneering publisher James Laughlin when he was a student at Harvard. Laughlin conceived of New Directions as a way to introduce some of the most groundbreaking and experimental poets of the time (Ezra Pound, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, Hilda Doolittle, Louis Zukofsky), aiming to publish writing that “made it new” in English and other languages. He also traveled widely, introducing fiction writers and poets from abroad. Laughlin built one of the great literary lists in American publishing, and ND continues to publish international literature, following in his path.Poetry is a vital part of our publishing program. Currently, we offer the work not just of many interesting and important American poets, but poets from other countries as well? like Bei Dao and Xi Chuan from China, Tomas Transtr?mer from Sweden, Ana Lu?sa Amaral and Fern...

In Search of a Garden Where Our Beautiful Korean Language Breathes

Book Trip   [A Trip to Literary Museums ②] In Search of a Garden Where Our BeautifulKorean Language Breathes Introducing Sonagi Village at Hwang Sun-won, Literary Housein Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do, and Beyond   2024.06.03   The works of Hwang Sun-Won have a solid presence in Korean literature. The literary world he has built transcends time, genre, and ideology, naturally expressing the most Korean emotions. It was around 1952, when Korea was undergoing the Korean War, when his representative short story Rain Shower (read Sonagi in Korean) was released. However, it is difficult to recognize such a period from the portrayal of the two main characters in the novel. The only clue that connects the story to reality is the place name “Yangpyeong” that appears at the end. The thoughts that germinated in this place became the driving force for creating a literary space, and it led to new attempts to reinterpret the work in various ways.The Sonagi Village in the Hwa...

Which Foreign Books Did Korean Readers Choose in 2025?

    Best Sellers   Which Foreign Books Did Korean Readers Choose in 2025?     2026.02     "Interest in Korean fiction" is an indispensable phrase when explaining recent publishing trends in Korea. Thanks to the halo effect of Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature win in 2024, Korean novels swept the top spots on the comprehensive bestseller lists last year. The slump in non-fiction books, driven by the commercialization of generative artificial intelligence (AI), also played a significant role. The prevailing view in the industry is that the surge in Korean fiction—and Korean literature at large—is a "butterfly effect" resulting from the contraction of the local non-fiction market, a sector traditionally dominated by renowned foreign authors rather than domestic ones. However, this situation may present a unique opportuni...
