12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam

Export Case 12 Years of Publishing Korean Books in Vietnam 2022.06.07 Nha Nam is one of the leading literary book publishing companies in Vietnam, and one of our main goals is to introduce the world's literary works to Vietnamese readers. Since our founding in 2005, Nha Nam has purchased the rights to many works from the UK, France, USA, Germany, Canada, China, and Japan and accomplished certain achievements. However, at the time, although we were keen to publish Korean books, we had quite a few difficulties finding books and contacting Korean copyright owners. Moreover, we did not have much information about Korean literature, nor did we have editors who could read and translate Korean. We could only refer to information through other languages such as English, French or Chinese. At that time, although not many Korean literary books were published, Korean dramas were widely known in Vietnam, so we decided to experiment with the book that had b...

Korean Books Loved by German Readers

Export Case Korean Books Loved by German Readers 2021.08.02 K-pop and K-drama are hot in Germany as well. According to a news article released by Yonhap News Agency on February 9 this year, the number of freshmen choosing to study Korean Studies at the Free University of Berlin, Germany, increased from 25 in 2008 to 350 in 2021. Also, we are receiving almost 200 applicants for the Korean class open at the Language Center of the Technical University of Munich each semester where I’m teaching students. On top of these two cases, I can also recall the days where we struggled and worked so hard to find a publisher that would accept our first translated book in 1993. This is why the recent boom in Germany about Korean culture, including the language and literature, is more vivid to me.Korean literature has been translated and published in Germany mainly with the support of the Daesan Foundation and the Literature Translation Institute of Korea. It received at...
