Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑫ Publications of Children’s Books/Teenage Books

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ⑫ Publications of Children’s Books/Teenage Books 2021.01.04 One of the most active publishing areas in almost any country is children’s books. Many of the children’s books in Korea (for preschoolers and elementary schoolers) have long been focused on education, learning, or cognitive development for its expected roles. However, they are undergoing evolution today as a tool for delivering necessary knowledge and wisdom for kids to actively cope with the world while nurturing their boundless imagination with entertaining elements. Meanwhile, the publishing market for teenagers, which is relatively smaller than children’s books in terms of titles and size, is growing its influence in the market with more various and absorbing topics, not to mention the facilitation of reading education conducted in schools. The teen market is breaking out of the narrow frame of a “generation stuck between child...

This led to a series of Korean children’s books being imported into China around 2010. In particular, the “Survival” series on scientific facts, published in China in 2013, attracted great attention in the children’s book industry and generated huge sales, triggering a boom in Korean book imports in China.

Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countries in Cooperation with Korean Agency

Export Case Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countriesin Cooperation with Korean Agency 2022.10.04 Amid an unprecedented wave of interest in Korean content, through my agency, I have the privilege of helping children’s, YA, and crossover Korean books across all genres to spread beyond Korea’s borders and into new markets outside of Asia. Korean fiction for adult readers is gaining significant attention and experiencing a real boom in many Western markets, including English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. But children’s books are lagging behind that trend, perhaps because publishers often look for familiar settings that they think parents and children will recognise and identify themselves more easily within. But the movement toward a more diverse publishing list is reaching across all reading ages and helping open up catalogues to more and more works in translation. As a result, many of the Korean titles I have sold were t...

Topic On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day,How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day? 2022.06.07 Many say, “The greater discovery than finding a new continent or inventing electricity is coining the concept, children.” Before the concept was recognized, children were merely toys for their parents or tools to use as a means. The discovery of the concept of children is the biggest for Chosun as it did not know the existence of young people. - Bang Jeong-Hwan, A historical study of the Joseon juvenile movement, The Chosun Ilbo, 1929/1/4. The year 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Children’s Day in Korea.

In the background was the growth of authors who have been honing their professional illustrating skills since the 1990s and the introduction of new authors in the field influenced by them. Also, the expansion of the readership has influenced the trend as generation Z has begun to recognize picture books as a new media.
