I Read My Favorite Book, Whale by Cheon Myeong-Kwan 2024.05.07 This article is a review written by an Indian reader ofK-Book Trends after reading a Korean book.If you want to share your wonderful experience of reading Korean bookswith other overseas readers, please send us an email!kbooktrends@gmail.com “Reading maketh a full man,” said Sir Francis Bacon years ago. The saying still holds true. Reading for leisure and pleasure is a good habit. It instructs us in our youth and comforts us in our old age. Sometimes, reading brings about a revolutionary change in a person’s outlook. Particularly in these days of mechanical existence, when people have hardly any time to attend meetings, the best source of acquiring religious and general knowledge is books that can be easily browsed wherever a person finds time to spare.

South Korean Government Policies to Shore Up the Publishing Industry

South Korean Government Policies to Shore Up the Publishing Industry 2018.05.30 One characteristic of South Korea's publishing industry is that the government is heavily involved in the industry policy-wise. Before the South Korean government's declaration of democracy and the authorization of independent establishment of publishing companies in 1987, the military-dominated government oppressed publishers and announced many publication regulations. From 1993 when civilian administrations took control of the country and into the 2000s, the government launched policies to boost the publishing industry, introducing a completely different paradigm. Backing this currently would be foremost the publishing culture and industry promotion act that was enacted in 2003 and amended several times. In adherence to this law, KPIPA was founded and the government now renews its basic plan for the promotion of the publishing industry every five years. The culture ministry currently ...
