Just a mere 62 km away from Seoul, this location was where the ceasefire armistice was signed in July 1953 to put a stop to the Korean War that had raged for three years between North and South Korea. Although U.S. President Donald Trump stepped over to North Korea for just a minute and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for 53 minutes, the image of the two men shaking hands heightened hopes that the Korean peninsula could move further towards denuclearization and peace. There are several books that address this reality on the Korean peninsula that have received much interest from the publishing industry in South Korea. Books that help children and adolescents understand the reality o...

South Korea's Printing Industry

South Korea's Printing Industry   2017.10.10   Historically, publishing and printing have developed hand in hand. Thanks to the development of printing skills, mass production of paper books became possible and today, cover printing that boosts the tangibility of books, as well as various attempts at editing and the level of completion all depend on high-quality printing skills. Not only is the area of POD (Publishing/Print on Demand) expanding by the day, lying between paper books and e-books, consistent demand is also expected.     Sales of the publishing industry do not solely come from paper books.

From packaging used in everyday goods to special printing used on smartphones, changes that are worth noting in the printing industry have been taking place. &...
