South Korea's publishing industry

South Korea's publishing industry The offline distribution status of South Korea's publishing industry   2017.7.28   From publishers to large-scale bookstores, regional bookshops and second-hand bookstores, South Korea's offline book distribution structure is detailed as it is diverse. This is a close look into South Korea's offline publication distribution structure and the issues surrounding it.   Differences in growth per bookstore size   According to a biennial survey carried out by the Korea Federation of Bookstore Association, there were 2,116 offline bookstores in South Korea as of 2015. This was 38 percent less than a decade ago when the country had 3,429 bookstores in 2005.

Independent Publishing

Independent Publishing Movement in South Korea's Publishing Industry Worth Noting The Age of 'Independent Publishing'   2017.7.28   Recently in South Korea, independent bookstores are gaining increasingly more attention, especially among younger Koreans. As a testament to this, the number of independent bookstores has been on the rise after being pushed to the brink of extinction by large bookstores, online booksellers and a general decline in the number of book readers. At an event not too long ago where 20 independent bookstores introduced and sold books at Seoul's international book fair, many visitors came to see what it was all about. This section takes a look at the reasons behind this recent trend.     1. The place where 'concepts' are sold, not 'books' The biggest advantage independent bookstores have is that they can make their own 'concept' - something difficult for larger bookstores to risk. Large bookstores aim to sell books to all readers and so they o...

The City of Islands and Stories,Tongyeong of South Gyeongsang Province

The City of Islands and Stories,Tongyeong of South Gyeongsang Province   2019.06.10     Sometimes there are words you try to avoid using because they are tired clich?s, but at times you have no other choice but to use them. So you take these 'dead phrases' out of the drawer, shake the dust off with a disdainful look on your face. One of these situations would be when people use "yehyang (a location from whence many artists have hailed)" as a prefix for the city of Tongyeong.   There, the 'Jaengi' lived Tongyeong of South Gyeongsang Province. This was the location where Admiral Yi Sun-sin led the Battle of Hansan Island, attempting to fend off enemies from the Korean Peninsula. In honor of his memory, the city's name was Chungmu until 1995, Yi's posthumous name. The city's current name was derived from a phrase that referred to a naval command that had jurisdiction over the three provinces of Gyeongsang, Jeolla and Chungcheong. When looking at the bigger historic i...

A deeper world told through picture books 'Iyagikot Publishing (Story Flower)'   2019.06.10     Some forecast in a future not too distant, technology will develop to a point where most jobs will be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI). The jobs expected to survive this test of time are expected to be those that require the sensibility and warmth of the human touch, like artists, poets and novelists.

Iyagikot is a picture book publisher and not only does it simply publish picture books, it is also a creator of art that touches people's lives.     Even if all the other books in the world are switched to digital form, we believe picture books will stay in paper formwith all the emotion of analog intact and deliver human warmth to readers.     P...
