KL Management's Export Success Case for Novel Almond

KL Management's Export Success Case for Novel Almond   2019.06.10   Joseph Lee, president of KL Management, has been known for his wide-reaching efforts over the years to export South Korean books and spread Korean literature around the world. Some even call him the 'global evangelist for Korean literature'. We recently met with Lee who led export projects for the novel Almond (Changbi Publishers), which was successfully exported to 12 countries and translated into 13 languages. The following details the story behind his efforts, the current status of South Korean book exports and why Almond came to be so successful outside South Korea.   Q. We've heard Korean author Sohn Won-pyung's Almond, which won the 10th Changbi Youth Literature Award in 2017, was exported to 12 countries and translated into 13 languages. It's probably safe to say it is unusual for a relatively new author to have her novel exported to more than 10 countries just two years after her debut. We're cer...

Illustrator Kim Hwan-Young

Illustrator Kim Hwan-Young   2019.07.08   Illustrator Kim Hwan-Young has captured readers' hearts with his beautiful work in children's tales like Paper Rice (naznsan), The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly (Sakyejul) and The Children Who Swallowed the Sun (Changbi), as well as picture books including The Butterfly Catching Father (Gilbut Children), Corn (Sakyejul) and Bbaeddaegi (Changbi). His illustrations are known for their powerful brush strokes that can seem crude and rough at times, while his India-ink painting style conveys Korean emotions. Kim often opens up his atelier to readers, which is nestled inside a small countryside village in Boryeong, South Chungcheong Province. After leaving the city for the countryside, Kim created a studio for himself, and he has never stopped working since. In fact, he has been creating more artwork, as the artist has said his work required him to have a sincerity that could only be gained from living outside the city. The books K...

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. As technological advances take place faster than ever before, publisher Iyagikot, or story flower, strives to retain the emotion and warmth that analog brings to the world since its establishment in 2012. 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...

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. The decline was mainly driven by smaller bookstores closing down, whereas the number of larger bookstores over 330 square feet rose 8 percent over the same period from 262 to 283.

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...
