South Korea's 'Genre Literature'

South Korea's 'Genre Literature' Jumping Beyond Korea and into the World   2017.8.18   It is a pity but before the 1990s South Korea did not have the basis for 'genre literature.' It was, perhaps, due to the situation of the country where there was no room for people to laugh and cry over various works or at times, fall into imaginary worlds beyond their dreams. The biggest reason was due to the fact the country lacked pop culture that could be loved and adored by the public following the military rule of Japan and the Korean War.     The history of South Korea's 'genre literature'   'Genre literature' in South Korea has recently been readying its wings to fly after going through many ups and downs for years. The beginning of literary genres in South Korea can be traced back to the mid-to-late 1990s when the Internet took off in South Korea. The Internet provided a place where users could fully express themselves at a time when there were not many opportunit...

The Growth of Korean Audio Books, Celebrities Attract Listeners

The Growth of Korean Audio Books, Celebrities Attract Listeners   2019.06.10   'Reading' books with your ears through audiobooks   Audiobooks are books that have little to do with paper and written words, but rather, recorded voices. When audiobooks were first introduced, they saw a surge of interest as 'useful content' that could replace paper books for those unable to easily read books in physical form, like the elderly or visually impaired. Through audiobooks, those who could not read books with their eyes were now able to expand their knowledge and understanding of culture. As time passed, people without disabilities have also come to appreciate the benefits that audiobooks have in the fact that you can have an audiobook playing in the background while doing something else, like driving, taking care of housework or working out at the gym. Regular consumers are drawn to audiobooks because of the fact they can multitask while reading books in their busy, modern lives.A...
