Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers

Export Case   Bringing Korean Literature to Hebrew Readers Successful import case of Prapanca Press in Israel   2023.11.06   The Hebrew-language book market is paradoxically both large and small. While there are only about two million active Hebrew readers, who read at least once a week, close to 7,000 new titles are published each and every year in Israel. In other words, whereas the book market is rather small in terms of readers, it is considerably large, vigorous, and diverse in terms of contents. Approximately 20% of Hebrew book publications are translations, almost all of which are translations from English, in addition to a few translations from other European languages such as Russian and Spanish.Regrettably, to date, very few Korean titles were able to reach the Hebrew book market. Although the novels of Shin Kyung-sook and Jeong You-jeong, as well as a few others, have been published in Hebrew and received in Israel with some enthusiasm, the translation...

The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT

Topic   [Publishing & AI] The AI Storm Sweeps the Publishing Industry: Chat GPT   2023.10.04   In 2016, Lee Se-Dol, one of the world’s greatest Go players, faced off against Alpha Go, an artificial intelligence (AI) program developed by Google’s Deep Mind, which was like the match of the century. Few expected Lee to lose, and Lee Se-Dol was humble enough to say he might lose one out of five games. But a few days later, the internet was abuzz with news of Lee’s shock defeat by Alpha Go. That was the beginning. Lee Se-Dol managed to get one win after a string of losses. His overall score was 1-4. In retrospect, the idea of a human beating Alpha Go, which had learned every recorded move in the game, was almost impossible. It was just that people didn’t realize the immense power of AI at the time.Fast-forward seven years to 2023 in Korea, and AI is being utilized across industries. AI is spreading to various fields, such as mobility, robotics, and the medical...

Flowers of the Orient ? Bringing Korean Gems to Polish Readers

Export Case   Flowers of the Orient? Bringing Korean Gems to Polish Readers   2023.05.02   Sixteen years ago, immediately after a fellow Korean Philology student and good friend, Edyta Matejko-Paszkowska, and I decided to establish a publishing house that was centered around Korean literature, people were perplexed. ‘Why?’ they asked. Few believed it was a great idea at the time, and some attitudes could now be considered mocking. However, now that the Korean wave (Hallyu) has reached Poland, they are no longer laughing. The popularity of Korean cuisine, language, dramas, and K-pop has extended to Korean literature.Up until around 2007, a total of seventeen titles of what could be classed as modern or classical literature had been translated from Korean into Polish - extremely low compared to the likes of Japan or China, which both ran into the hundreds. Several key factors explain why Korean literature translations weren’t widespread. Firstly ...

Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons

Topic   Export Status of Korean Webnovels and Webtoons   2023.03.13   Status of Korean webnovel and webtoon market   Korea’s webnovel and webtoon market has been growing rapidly, representing the “K-content” category. The business has been expanding into other countries as well, such as other Asian countries and the US. Derivative works based on webnovels and webtoons are generating income through various channels. As can be seen in the success of the recently-aired drama “Reborn Rich,” IPs (intellectual property) based on publishing content such as webnovels and webtoons are expanding into other industries such as drama, film, animation, and games, securing the original content with relatively less investment. According to the research conducted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) and the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA), the size of the webnovel market grew from 741.5 billion won in 2020 to 1.85 tril...

Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.S.A.

Export Case   Successful Import Case of Korean Literature in the U.S.A. Black Ocean, Lee Young-ju, the 2022 Lucien Stryk Asian Translation Prize for Cold Candies   2023.02.20   The idea for doing Moon Country, the contemporary Korean poetry series at Black Ocean, started around the time Janaka Stucky, the publisher, came to Korea for a series of readings and literary events in 2017. Along with the editor Carrie Olivia Adams, we decided we’d like to publish work that stood on its own, but also would be in conversation with the other Black Ocean titles. So that is why we set out to publish edgy, avant-garde, contemporary work published in Korea within the last 25 years or so.The series’ name comes from the famous poem and book Moon Country Mischief (the title of a Korean book: 『달나라의 장난』) by Kim Soo-young. A goal we have is that we want these books to challenge national literature discourses, we want to invite readers to inhabit these books...
