Korea’s Non-Fiction Books Building Global Competitiveness   2020.10.05   It is notable that the Korean Wave in the publishing industry began in the Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian publishing markets. And the major players that strongly supported the trend were novels and TV dramas “Winder Sonata”, “Gaeul Donghwa” and “Jewel in the Palace”.
