Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countries in Cooperation with Korean Agency

Export Case   Foreign Agency on Publishing K-Books in Other Countriesin Cooperation with Korean Agency   2022.10.04   Amid an unprecedented wave of interest in Korean content, through my agency, I have the privilege of helping children’s, YA, and crossover Korean books across all genres to spread beyond Korea’s borders and into new markets outside of Asia. Korean fiction for adult readers is gaining significant attention and experiencing a real boom in many Western markets, including English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. But children’s books are lagging behind that trend, perhaps because publishers often look for familiar settings that they think parents and children will recognise and identify themselves more easily within. But the movement toward a more diverse publishing list is reaching across all reading ages and helping open up catalogues to more and more works in translation. As a result, many of the Korean titles I have sold were t...

Imagination Sketched in Colored Pencils: The Pencil by Author Kim Hyeeun

Korean Authors   Imagination Sketched in Colored Pencils:The Pencil by Author Kim Hyeeun     2026.05     Trees are felled whenever a pencil is made. Author Kim Hyeeun is a picture book author who reflects on the sacrifice of trees. Her book, The Pencil, was born from a heart that cherishes both art and nature. We interviewed Kim Hyeeun, an author who cares deeply for both her craft and the environment, to explore her imagination and thoughts.   The Pencil         Q. Was there a specific inspiration that led you to write The Pencil?   The Pencil is my very first book. I felt a lot of pressure and spent much time worrying about how to fully capture my own thoughts in my debut picture book. At first, I tried to create a story around grand and flashy subjects, but those attempts felt like wearing someone else’s clothes...

Book Trend in Korea Eyed by the Russian Publishing Market in the 2020s

Export Case   Book Trend in Korea Eyed bythe Russian Publishing Market in the 2020s   2022.08.01   In 2021, Russia was designated as the target country of the “Visiting Korean Book Fair” hosted by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea (KPIPA) for the first time in the fair’s history. Even though the fair was held online due to the pandemic, it was successful enough to draw an enthusiastic response from not only Russian publishers but also Korean participants. It served as a chance for both Korean and Russian publishing companies who have been paying great attention to Korean publications to take the exchange to the next level. Also, it worked as a cornerstone for Korean books to grow further in the Russian publishing market, as a greater variety of Korean books could be exported to the Russian publishing market after the fair.The most distinguished image of Russia in the Korean publishing industry is the “country of literature.” In ...

SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.

Korean Publishers   SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. Stories That Find Meaning in Everyday Moments   2026.01.05   We are living in an age of “dopamine addiction.” The quiet appreciation woven into everyday routines has gradually faded, replaced by a constant pursuit of stimulation. Yet, isn’t “true dopamine” found instead in the comfort and encouragement we receive at the end of a difficult day? Much like ordinary water, which becomes precious only when we are thirsty, a single sip of spring water can feel invaluable. Perhaps our relentless search for dopamine is not because daily life is too mundane, but because we have let gratitude slip past us as easily as water flowing away. Following is an interview with SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd. (“SAMTOH”), a wellspring for small but meaningful stories that find new life in book form.   Logo of SAMTOH Publishing Co., Ltd.     It’s a pleasure...

Topic   Publishing Industry Full of Consolation andSympathy in the Post-COVID-19 Era   2022.07.04   “Since my mother was not loved, I believed she would love more. Since my mother did not have anything, I thought she would fill someone’s heart more than others. I sincerely hope the story of this insignificant individual can give a sense of comfort to someone with a lonely and hungry heart. I was able to find a sense of consolation before others and by a lot. In addition to what I gained, I released my mother’s obituary collection.

On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day, How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?

Topic   On the 100th Anniversary of Children’s Day,How Did the Korean Publishing Industry Spend the Day?   2022.06.07   Many say, “The greater discovery than finding a new continent or inventing electricity is coining the concept, children.” Before the concept was recognized, children were merely toys for their parents or tools to use as a means. The discovery of the concept of children is the biggest for Chosun as it did not know the existence of young people. - Bang Jeong-Hwan, A historical study of the Joseon juvenile movement, The Chosun Ilbo, 1929/1/4.   The year 2022 is the 100th anniversary of Children’s Day in Korea. The Children’s Day Declaration, announced by Bang Jeong-Hwan in 1922, is recognized as the world’s first children’s human rights declaration announced even before the Geneva Declaration of the Rights of the Child (the Geneva Declaration) in 1924, which was adopted by the League of Nation...
