Korean Bookstores Dominated by Screenplays and scripts

Topic   Korean Bookstores Dominated by Screenplays and Scripts   2022.11.07   “Do you stop reading screenplays after watching movies in Korea?”“It’s out… ‘in the fullness of time.’”“The ‘unparalleled’ screenplay that I made a ‘decision’ to buy.”“This is the only way to read the best screenplay.

I think maybe that’s because many of them go out for a picnic in good weather.Another paradox related to books can be found in the bestsellers’ trend. If you go to a bookstore, you will see books written by popular YouTubers lining the shelves. Just look at the sales record ? non-fiction bestsellers are mostly written by YouTubers. But, according to the readership status report announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism in 2021, a majority of people, across generations and gender, said that one of the biggest reasons they cannot read books is...
