Fandom and Publishing

Topic   Fandom and Publishing Trend in the Korean publishing market in 2022   2022.09.05   I have talked with a number of editors from publishing companies about “profitable books.” They all said, “The results are mostly determined by how influential the author is. How many readers it can attract is also one of the key points of signing a contract.”While fewer people are reading books, more people hope to write books today. So, among the manuscripts flooding in, the writers who sign the contract at the end are those who are influential. The marketing capacity of the publisher is indeed important. But, in this market where capital decides the marketing power, it is more likely that you must bring in “people that don’t read” to make a book go best seller. Thus, it is clear that a publishing company prefers to publish books by those with a strong fandom, created before publication.      ...

Oh Kang-Nam, Professor of Comparative Religion

Special Project   [Korean Scholars ⑨] Oh Kang-Nam, Professor of Comparative Religion A Keen Insight Toward Religion, Society, and Life   2022.09.05   We all have our own faith in mind about how to live our lives. This belief could be about a spiritual being, a community that shares a common idea, or an order like law or ethics. Professor Oh Kang-Nam, a representative specialist on comparative religion in Korea, studies these beliefs with profound observation and insight. The field of “comparative religion” may be somewhat unfamiliar to some, but it is one of the religious studies comparing various religions and beliefs throughout the world. People who specialize in comparative religious study have a deeper understanding of the most fundamental and philosophical interest of religions. Following is the interview with professor Oh Kang-Nam, who has devoted his life to valuable research and writing about the beliefs and practices of human beings ba...

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.K.

Export Case   Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.K. Publishing the best literature from East Asia, be it classic or contemporary   2022.09.05   When we started Honford Star, our original plan was to publish the short stories of Yi Sang, the tragic poet of early modern Korean literature. His bizarre imagery and youthful exuberance attracted us, even though the difference in language and decades between him and us. Unfortunately, we were never able to publish Yi, but our love of offbeat Korean literature continued.At Honford Star, we aim to translate books right at the edge between genre fiction and literary fiction. So when Anton Hur sent us the first two stories in the Cursed Bunny (Arzak) short story collection, we bought the rights as fast as we could. The stories were absurdist masterpieces that showcased author Bora Chung’s ability to mix the fantastical with social critique. Her stories fit in perfectly with our other Korean b...

Best Sellers   2nd Week, August 2022 Bestseller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea   2022.09.05   Familiar titles could be found on the best sellers’ list for the 2nd week of August. Writer Kim Hoon returned with his new book Harbin, about the life of An Jung-Geun (Korean independence activist) that he has been working on for a long time. The book talks about An Jung-Geun as an ordinary human being, not as a national hero or a great man of history, reorganizing historical facts with writer Kim’s imagination and unique writing style. Also, the book Pachinko, which went out of print due to the end of the publication contract, returned to meet Korean readers in a totally new outfit.
