Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges 2019.09.09 Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan. Travel into layers of time The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today. For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination. It is a port city that leads to the Pacific...

The growth of K-Webtoons and strategy for global intellectual property

The growth of K-Webtoons and strategy for global intellectual property 2018.01 The emerging of Lezhin Comics, a webtoon platform, in 2013 was an important catalyst in activating paid-for content markets in South Korea and also brought about the birth of a range of cartoon platforms. Previously the webtoon services on Internet portals like Naver and Daum were free of charge and gained many fans, expanding the market, but Lezhin Comics created their own success by handling genres difficult to address in public portals(adults only content) and seizing exclusive content. They also applied paid-for services strategies that can be seen in mobile and online games. After, similar paid-for services for adults appeared and today, Kakao Page currently leads the paid-for cartoon market after having overcome its early losses by launching a 'wait for free content' service, where readers can wait a certain amount of time to access previously paid-for content. South ...

South Korea's Printing Industry

South Korea's Printing Industry 2017.10.10 Historically, publishing and printing have developed hand in hand. Thanks to the development of printing skills, mass production of paper books became possible and today, cover printing that boosts the tangibility of books, as well as various attempts at editing and the level of completion all depend on high-quality printing skills. Not only is the area of POD (Publishing/Print on Demand) expanding by the day, lying between paper books and e-books, consistent demand is also expected. Sales of the publishing industry do not solely come from paper books. The market share of e-books, audio books and licensed works is expanding continuously. The printing industry is also relying less on printed publishing and more on industrial printing and packaging printing. From packaging used in everyday goods to special printing used on smartphones, changes that are worth noting in the printing industry have been taking place. &...
