[INTERVIEW / KOREAN AUTHORS]

Author Serang Chung A charming author and her fascinating story 2020.03.02 Is there anything more exciting than imagination? Many people agree with the idea that if you take away imagination from a human being, you will see nothing left. Author Serang Chung would nod her head to this more than anyone for sure. She is someone that has boundless imagination. Besides, the world she created makes not only herself but everyone joyful. So her imagination brought to reality through letters is now turning into a video, going beyond paper books. As the stories are rooted in the author’s imagination that are not tied to anything, the news is more welcoming to hear. ⓒ Hung-Ku Kim We heard that you worked as an editor in the so-called “pure literature” field such as Minumsa and Munhakdongne. Now you have built a firm reputation in the field of genre literature. Since when were you first attracted to this field? And we would also like to know how that made you decid...

Exports to Southeast Asia

Exports to Southeast Asia 2018.05.30 As publication business exchanges with China have declined exorbitantly over the past 18 months, South Korea's publishing industry has turned its eye towards Southeast Asia and exports to this region have been increasing as a result. Along with efforts to make up for the gap created by declining publishing trade with China, South Korean publishers seem to have come to the conclusion they must expand their territories to move in line with today's changes. Exchanges with those in the publishing industry in Southeast Asia began around 2005 and have been continued ever since.
