Korea’s Non-Fiction Books Building Global Competitiveness

Korea’s Non-Fiction Books Building Global Competitiveness   2020.10.05   It is notable that the Korean Wave in the publishing industry began in the Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian publishing markets. And the major players that strongly supported the trend were novels and TV dramas “Winder Sonata”, “Gaeul Donghwa” and “Jewel in the Palace”.

However, an interesting phenomenon can be easily witnessed today that recalls the past days - the publication of non-fiction books in the Asian publishing market is showing an upward curve.

This is Heo Kyo bum, I have been working as a writer for 8 years now.   What motivated you to become a writer?   When I recall my childhood, I have more sad memories than happy memories. So if you ask why I became a writer, it's because I like stories.

That became an opportunity for stories to play an important role in my life. Then, by chance, I thought I might be able to make a career from this. From the moment I decided to do that, I realized that no other dream could have replaced it. No matter how good the job, a great job for other people, or even if it was a job that could make me a lo...
