The Comeback of Best-selling Books is Thanks to Youtube

Topic   The Comeback of Best-selling Books is Thanks to Youtube   2022.03.07   “Try this.”It’s not some random street vendor tempting tourists to try Dalgona using Squid Game’s popularity. Winter Bookstore, one of the most popular BookTubers (Book + Youtuber) with 230K subscribers, posted a video introducing a book. Her influence is truly colossal.The book she introduced was Why Fish Don’t Exist, a non-fiction book written by US science journalist Lulu Miller. Let’s go back to the starting point to see how it became popular. The book was published on December 17, 2021, and it did not gain much popularity in Korea at first. Lulu Miller was a new science journalist and a writer just introduced to Korean readers. Though the book contains excellent writing and exciting stories, the one-person publisher, Gom Books, did not have the marketing power to make the book popular. Why Fish Don’t Exist was reviewed in major newspapers several times, but the public did n...

China Export Case

Export Case   China Export Case Online advertisement and strong sales of children's books during the pandemic   2022.02.14   Recently, I visited an exhibition held in the National Fold Museum of Korea on “Our Lives Beyond Epidemics.” From the period of the Three States, Goryeo, the Joseon Dynasty, to the modern and present-day, epidemics have always been a part of Korean history. Diseases that emerged from wars, changes in the natural environment, or foreign sources have made life miserable for people. Maybe it was our ancestors' persistence to get over hardships that led us to live a life today, accumulating all the knowledge on overcoming challenges. Even in the present day, human beings defeated pandemics several times. However, the recent one caused by COVID-19 neutralized our pride in cutting-edge science and technology. The pandemic has lingered for more than three years now, and this may be the sign that it is time for us to coexist with diseases.For the...

Book Trip   [Beautiful Library in Korea ①] Art Library Of Uijeongbu A Public platform serving as both library and art gallery   2022.02.14     Recently, libraries that offer more than reading experiences have been springing up across the country. Art Library of Uijeongbu, opened in November 2019, combined the different areas of library and art gallery, boasting a great deal of beauty and practicality both in the exterior and interior of the building. The library plays the roles of not just a library but an art gallery in Uijeongbu city which hasn’t run its own art gallery before.

But, the opening of the Art Library of Uijeongbu now allows anyone to borrow ...

Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea

Topic   Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea   2021.12.06   Heightened interest in “publications for older readers” ahead of the post-aged society   The United Nations (UN) defines a society where people aged 65 and above account for more than 20% of the population as a "post-aged society." Based on this standard, Korea will be entering the post-aged society in 2025, four years from now, with the aged population accounting for 20.3% of the entire population. As of 2020, the proportion of citizens aged 65 and above was 15.7%. Still, agricultural regions with a higher percentage of the older population (Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Jeollabuk-do, and Gangwon-do) are already categorized as post-aged local societies. One of the reasons for Korea's rapid aging is the low birth rate, which is the lowest in the world.Compared to other major countries in the OECD, the relative poverty rate of Korea's aged population is high. According to the sta...

Any source that can be narrated into an interesting story can turn into a novel. A particular genre that brought a new sensation to the publishing market, infusing energy into the fiction market, is YA (young adult).

Young adult fiction refers to a type of fiction for all age groups, maximizing the fun of reading and often based on fantastical elements. The greatest charm of the genre is that it embraces all generations as well as its primary readership (teenagers).
