Ripples of Connection: The Cat Is the Answer

Export Case   Ripples of Connection: The Cat Is the Answer     2026.09     Where the Connection Began   Nabiclub returned to the 〈K-Book Copyright Market〉 this year. Overseas publishing markets diverge from domestic ones, and it is precisely within those differences that new possibilities emerge. This discovery is the fundamental reason we participate. What works differs from country to country, press to press, buyer to buyer. That is only natural, since the vitality of publishing comes from diversity. The primary purpose of attending is to identify and cultivate those points of intersection, whether through a market, a theme, a publishing house, or an individual editor.   When Nabiclub first attended the Market in 2025 to establish its identity as a press specializing in Korean mystery fiction, we achieved a modest yet deeply meaningful milestone: securing a rights contract with Yilin, a ...

The Export Case of Hello Baby

Export Case   The Export Case of Hello Baby Women’s stories have strong appeal in the global literary market   2025.10.02   Published in March 2023, Hello Baby (EunHaengNaMu Publishing) by Kim Eui-Kyung is a novel that tells the stories of women struggling with infertility, an issue that has long been overlooked in our society. In recent years, infertility has become more common, and I even had acquaintances seeking treatment at clinics, but my knowledge was limited to the fact that the procedures placed a heavy burden on women’s bodies. For me, reading Hello Baby was a shockingly fresh experience, as the novel vividly and realistically depicts the treatment process and the psychology of women who choose to undergo it, making it feel almost like reportage. At the time, there was a steady demand overseas for women’s stories, and since attention was being paid not only to infertility treatments, but also to the social and cultural pressures impos...

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ③] Berlin: A Multicultural City that Loves Outsiders   2025.03.10       Berlin was a city divided into East and West by the Berlin Wall during the Cold War.

Stretching a whopping 1,316 meters long, it is the world’s largest open-air gallery - 108 artists from 21 countries drew 105 paintings on the wall in 1990 with messages of peace, unity, and opposition to war. Once a symbol of the Cold War, the Berlin Wall has now become a symbol of hope and freedom, a new Berlin landmark and a must-see tourist attraction that has touched and inspired many people.Berlin is a city that draws young travelers from al...
