Bestseller Keyword - Money

Bestseller Keyword - Money In 2020, Readers Chased After the Flow of Money   2021.02.08       The Asian Financial Crisis that broke out in 1997 may have sparked the recent publishing trend of “money” and “wealth” in Korea. At this time when all the conventional wisdom of getting a good job, earning money, and pursuing a stable life without debts has broken, books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad (Minumin) that suggest a new perspective that debt can also be an asset claiming that people need to study about money, and Who Moved My Cheese? (Jinmyoung) that gives a lesson that only those that have overcome fear and adapted to changes can go through challenges, caught readers’ attention. Then, the “get rich fever” in 2002, best represented by the commercial copy - “Hope you become rich!” - of a credit card company, strongly struck the publishing market.

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea

Export Cases of Language Books Developed in Korea   2021.02.08       It is not an exaggeration to say that most language books developed in Korea are focused on English education and that most of the exported books are English books for children and elementary schoolers. Language books made in Korea consist of multiple series and are categorized into different age groups and levels, not to mention the content and services provided alongside them. However, no matter how good the books are organized in the demanded style of overseas buyers and consumers, it is difficult for them to end up signing a sales contract.Yet, there are still many cases where language materials made in Korea are exported to other countries. It is thanks to several distinct characteristics they have that they have such strong competitiveness. In the 1980s, there were not many language books solely made by Korean publishers, and in most cases, they imported or processed those of famous overseas...
