2020 Publication Trends in Korea

2020 Publication Trends in Korea   2020.02.03     Korea has fully entered a low-fertility and aging society. The number of students is rapidly decreasing, and for domestic colleges, some of the majors have been taken off the curriculum or were integrated due to a lack of applicants for 2020. This trend gives birth to new keywords for the generation such as “Millennial Generation”, “Active Senior Generation” or “Senior Generation” in our society, while on the social sensitivity side, keywords from other perspectives that were not highlighted in the society such as feminism, fairness, fragmentation, double-sidedness, and growth are emerging.   Young people familiar with media will enjoy and represent the changing times with their sensibilities.   Trend Korea 2020 is an annually published book series which launched in 2009 with Trend Korea 2010. The series consists of analysis and predictions about Korean consumption trends. The b...

However, it is difficult to know in detail what books are being sold into which countries and how.

It is also because so many books are being exported to other countries simultaneously.In our January webzine, we will look at what kinds of content have been exported so far including literature, children's books, practical books, series, comics, webtoons and language education workbooks.

Writer of the Year Award

Writer of the Year Award The first fruits of the rookie authors of this year   2020.02.03     If overseas publishers have one yardstick that they choose to adopt when they encounter Korean authors and works, it is whether the work received a literary award in Korea. Winning a literary award in Korea does not guarantee success in the international market, but it can be a reference that the work’s value and popularity among readers are recognized. Therefore, whether a work has won a literary award in Korea has become a criterion for overseas publication companies for assessment.There are many literary awards in Korea. Each of the awards has different characteristics and standards for awardees depending on the aim and host of the award. Special Project of the webzine K-Book Trends introduces each of the unique literary awards in Korea. This part answers questions from overseas readers about the “K-Book Award”, by providing information on the authority, cha...
