[TREND / TOPIC]

Topic The “Healing Fiction” Fever Trending: Fiction With the Theme of Healing Space 2022.10.04 Because I work in a book review team in a press agency, I meet dozens of books every week. And, recently, novels with similar designs and colors caught my attention, and I collected them on one side of the office. Then, one day, one of my colleagues from another team came to say hello, saw the stacks, and asked, “What are they? Are they a series?” Oh, yes. They may appear to belong to the same series, as they are so similar - in terms of atmosphere, not context. Every book seems to be indistinguishable from the others. Their warm color tone, and the “thing.” They all have some “house” drawn on their covers. So, even though people say that this is the generation of non-book-readers, I thought that it was worthy enough to write an article about this phenomenon as there must be a reason for their commonality.In fact, articles about this trend have been around...

Professor Kim Ho-Dong, the World-Renowned Scholar in Central Eurasian History

Special Project [Korean Scholars ⑩] Professor Kim Ho-Dong, the World-RenownedScholar in Central Eurasian History A Broad and Deep Perspective Toward the World 2022.10.04 “A big fish in a small pond.” This is one of the Korean proverbs metaphorically used to refer to those with little knowledge about the world. Because we are from a certain country, a certain nationality, or a certain generation, we tend to look at the world from a narrow point of view. However, in order to enter the larger world, we must have the courage to break the wall around us. Professor Kim Ho-Dong of the Department of Asian History at Seoul National University has devoted his life to filling in the blank pages in world history by learning local languages to study the history of mysterious Central Eurasia and drawing a map of his own. Let’s follow in the footsteps of professor Kim, who became a world figure in the history of Central Eurasia, breaking down the solid wall called “g...

[TREND / EXPORT CASE]

Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countries in Cooperation with Korean Agency

Export Case Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countriesin Cooperation with Korean Agency 2022.10.04 Amid an unprecedented wave of interest in Korean content, through my agency, I have the privilege of helping children’s, YA, and crossover Korean books across all genres to spread beyond Korea’s borders and into new markets outside of Asia. Korean fiction for adult readers is gaining significant attention and experiencing a real boom in many Western markets, including English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. But children’s books are lagging behind that trend, perhaps because publishers often look for familiar settings that they think parents and children will recognise and identify themselves more easily within. But the movement toward a more diverse publishing list is reaching across all reading ages and helping open up catalogues to more and more works in translation. As a result, many of the Korean titles I have sold were t...
