Transcription: The Rising Star of the K-Education and Parenting Market

Knowledge   Transcription: The Rising Star of the K-Education and Parenting Market     2026.04     Why Transcription is Returning to the Forefront of Education   Transcription books have consistently expanded their readership within the Korean publishing market. While they once primarily served adult readers seeking self-improvement or emotional healing, recent years have seen a distinct shift: transcription books are now merging with child education to form a prominent new trend. Parents no longer view transcription as mere copying. Instead, they embrace it as a profound method of reading—one that involves slowly digesting high-quality sentences, tracing them by hand, and anchoring those thoughts within oneself. By shifting away from the fast-reading habits where content is quickly consumed and forgotten, transcription has gained new educational significance as a practice of deep focus, f...

Topic   Not just comfort and empathy, but anxiety and fear: Pay Attention to K-Horror     2026.03     Healing and Zombies   In the Bag   For the past few years, the mainstream of Korean genre literature has undeniably been "healing." Healing fantasy, set in familiar spaces such as convenience stores, bookstores, and antique shops, offered solace to Korean readers weary of individualism. Messages like "You are not alone in your struggles" and "We are looking toward the light together" were sweet and comforting. However, where there is bright light, there are also deep shadows. No matter how much we comfort one another, we remain beings who must ultimately compete alone in a cold, harsh reality. To make matters worse, the pandemic that struck like a tidal wave...

Topic   Korean Publishing Market Trends in 2025 and Outlook for 2026   2026.01.05         Trends in 2025: A Year of Digital Transformation and Practical, Stability-Oriented Content   In 2025, Korea’s publishing market underwent noticeable shifts in the ways readers discovered, selected, and consumed books, as digital transformation accelerated and social and economic uncertainty deepened. On the surface, the overall market size appeared relatively stable. Beneath that stability, however, structural changes became increasingly clear: the number of new titles grew significantly, while the average print run per title declined. As supply expanded, the actual market reach secured by individual titles continued to narrow. These changes were further shaped by the expansion of generative AI (Artificial Intelligence) and intensified competition from OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Together, t...

It portrayed the Soviet Union’s isolationist policies and police-state system as an “impenetrable barrier.” In 1946, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill also expressed...
