Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication 2020.03.02 The publication industry is “a mirror called record” that reflects the society. The publication of history-related books that are the archive of time and space connecting the past and the present is a clear indicator that shows Korean society’s interest in history.

Travelers Return After COVID-19

Topic Travelers Return After COVID-19 2023.06.05 The trend of travel books in Korea before and after COVID-19 After the Korean government lifted the bar for overseas travel in 1989, the major driver behind the growth of the travel book market in the 1990s was guidebooks, which mainly delivered information about the destination country. The introduction of the Across the World (RH Korea Co., Ltd., formerly published by Random House) series, which was the translated version of the magazine How to Walk on Earth published by Diamond Big in Japan, opened the first generation of travel guidebooks in Korea. In the late 1990s, the second-generation guidebooks such as the Centuplicate Your Joy (RH Korea) series and the Just Go (Sigongsa Co., Ltd.) series published, which the foreign rights were bought from Japanese publishers and translated in Korean.

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher 2021.07.05 Why Diamond acquired the publication rights of the book, I Almost Lived Too Hard It was April 2019 when I heard about the book I Almost Lived Too Hard (Woongjin ThinkBig) (Japanese title: あやうく一生懸命生きるところだった). As soon as I saw its appealing title and theme, I was convinced that it would also sell in Japan. Books related to emotional sicknesses such as depression and stress were trending in the Japanese publishing market around that time, and there was already the atmosphere among the public that the book’s topic of “not living to the fullest” might be accepted.
