Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea

Topic   Current Status of Publications for Seniors in Korea   2021.12.06   Heightened interest in “publications for older readers” ahead of the post-aged society   The United Nations (UN) defines a society where people aged 65 and above account for more than 20% of the population as a "post-aged society." Based on this standard, Korea will be entering the post-aged society in 2025, four years from now, with the aged population accounting for 20.3% of the entire population. As of 2020, the proportion of citizens aged 65 and above was 15.7%. Still, agricultural regions with a higher percentage of the older population (Jeollanam-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Jeollabuk-do, and Gangwon-do) are already categorized as post-aged local societies.

Writer Song Gil-Young

Korean Authors   Writer Song Gil-Young A clear-cut forecast of the times provided by a man who “mines” the minds of the time   2024.07.01   One book published last year made headlines and became a bestseller. It is Forecast of the Times: Era of Nuclear Individuals (Kyobo Book Centre), which brought about a sensation by claiming that a new era of individuals called “nuclear individuals” has arrived due to the development of AI technologies and aging populations. The book’s writer, Song Gil-Young, calls himself a “mind miner,” meaning a person who mines the minds of the time using big data. As he precisely pinpoints the changes of the time through big data analysis more than anyone else, his latest title, Forecast of the Times: Era of Nuclear Individuals, provides insights into various fields. This book can be regarded as the extension of Just Don’t Do It (Book Stone) and Do Not Imagine (Book Stone), his previous titles offering advice for the future. Song...
