K-Book Trend in Latin America Seen Through the Chilean Publishing Market

Export Case K-Book Trend in Latin America SeenThrough the Chilean Publishing Market 2022.11.07 When people make a general analysis of Korea, they often use words like “turbulent” and “dynamic.” This is closely related to the modern history of the country. Korea is located in the most unique geopolitical region in the world, and such a condition made Koreans go through many miserable moments in history; its modern history was as if it had been dropped in the middle of the turbulent sea.It is true that the historical and geopolitical environment has made Koreans experience bitter times in history. Still, just like how shells produce beautiful, precious pearls after long years of perseverance, the pain and sorrow gave Korea a rich and profound cultural heritage and a unique sensibility. As a result, you can truly find so many priceless literary works and writers in the country. However, unlike how Korea boasts many novels, stories, and poem...

Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes Former Newscaster and YouTube Creator’s Pick 2022.11.07 In Korea, there is a saying, “Autumn is the season of books.” Just like the saying, it feels as if you have to have the romantic moment of reading a book at a park, cherishing the red, falling leaves. But, on the other hand, autumn might be the season farthest from reading books. They say that people read the least in the fall. I think maybe that’s because many of them go out for a picnic in good weather.Another paradox related to books can be found in the bestsellers’ trend. If you go to a bookstore, you will see books written by popular YouTubers lining the shelves. Just look at the sales record – non-fiction bestsellers are mostly written by YouTubers. But, according to the readership status report announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism in 2021, a majority of people, across generations and gender, said that one of the biggest reasons they cannot read books i...

Best Sellers 2nd Week, September 2022 Best seller Trends in the Four Biggest Online Bookstores in Korea 2022.10.04 The books that many readers have long awaited have made their way to the best seller list for the second week of September.

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. ...

[TREND / ONE-LINER QUOTES]

One-Liner Quotes Copyright Agent’s Pick 2022.09.05 As a copyright agent working at the forefront of the copyright business, there is a unique “sense” that years of experience give you. It would be great to give a clear definition for that sense, but as you know, senses are difficult to explain logically. For content to be loved by global citizens crossing the linguistic and geological barriers, a number of elements have to be at play. Among the many elements, if I were to pick only two, I would choose “universal,” and “unique.” Content that has a universally understood story and a specialty differentiated from existing content is highly likely to be loved by readers around the world across borders. Cheon Seon-Ran is the author that I’m particularly paying attention to as a copyright agent. Her book A Thousand Blues (East-Asia Publishing Co.), whi...
