South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets

South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets 2018.07.31 South Korean literature has recently been entering a number of different countries with different languages, instead of focusing on one language or one country. The situation has shifted from before, when South Korean original novels would find demand after a film or television adaptation gained in popularity or vice versa. This shows South Korean literature’s presence in the global publishing market and that Korean literature has been gaining in competitiveness in a number of different markets. Around the time of the New York Rights Fair that was held recently from late May to early June, Lee Ji-min’s novel Marilyn and Me (That Book) was introduced to the market and since then has been the subject of great interest. This novel tells the story of Marilyn Munroe and her interpreter Alice in the February of 1954, just after the Korean War ended in a truce. The story of the two women...

Round Ground

Round Ground Where dreams of a world full of well-rounded lives exist 2019.10.07 How does play begin? There are times when one ponders whether play has turned into learning. So much educational material and the media rarely think twice about directing children how to play, and caregivers are always eager to lead and interfere when children play. One may think there are right and wrong ways to play, but play will always be play. Playing is enough when it's enjoyed no matter the process, with fun materials and tools. Everything the eye can see, whether it be tree leaves, bubbles, passersby or the house you live in, can be materials for play or even play itself if it's visible and tangible. Children are aware of this joyful fact more than anyone else, and Round Ground is the place where that fun for children is raised to another level. Even just listening to the name Round Ground is fun. What meaning does the name Round Ground carry? Could you also introduce y...

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe

K-Thrillers lead Hallyu publications in Europe 2018.06.28 As we are approaching the third quarter of this year, K-thrillers(Korean thrillers) are emerging as the new leading force in the world’s publishing market. And at the center of that whirlwind are authors like Jeong You-jeong, Kim Un-su and Seo Mi-ae. The attention on these authors - whose work can be summarized into three words: mystery, thriller, crime - has been heating up from global publishers. Not only has interest been burgeoning in Europe, especially English speaking countries there, but also in Asia. One point to note is that this interest from the global publishing market in Korean literature, especially K-thrillers, is not entirely new. Global publishers, especially those in English dominant countries, have consistently been drawn to titles in this genre. However, if that interest had not led to exports before, soft interest at home and a lack of sales marketing for these books were likely to blame. Wha...
