Bookstores that Create Books and Culture

Bookstores that Create Books and Culture Places matured by books, for books, and with books   2021.03.08     Publishers and bookstores might be different in that publishers “make books” while bookstores “sell books,” but the common attribute of the two is that they give joy and helpful knowledge to people through books. This is the medium that connects publishers and bookstores, while it is a gift for readers. Meanwhile, the solidarity between independent publications and bookstores is notably stronger than any other. They contribute greatly to the spread of the cultural trend that respects individuals’ preferences, and unique characteristics as independent publications set the stage for their stories to be heard, and independent bookstores mature with their own unique color.As such, as the two pursue a common goal, more bookstores are carrying out publishing at the same time. Some of them publish books or magazines that embody the bookstore’s unique color. Some o...

The Engine of K-Content, K-Story

Book Grocery   The Engine of K-Content, K-Story     2026.08     A Story from a K-Book Trends Subscriber in Ukraine   In today's world, where people consume short videos and quick content every day, Korean book-based media franchises remind us that powerful stories still begin with words. Behind every memorable character and emotional scene is an author who first created that world through writing.

Bestseller Keyword - Money

Bestseller Keyword - Money In 2020, Readers Chased After the Flow of Money   2021.02.08       The Asian Financial Crisis that broke out in 1997 may have sparked the recent publishing trend of “money” and “wealth” in Korea. At this time when all the conventional wisdom of getting a good job, earning money, and pursuing a stable life without debts has broken, books such as Rich Dad Poor Dad (Minumin) that suggest a new perspective that debt can also be an asset claiming that people need to study about money, and Who Moved My Cheese? (Jinmyoung) that gives a lesson that only those that have overcome fear and adapted to changes can go through challenges, caught readers’ attention. Then, the “get rich fever” in 2002, best represented by the commercial copy - “Hope you become rich!” - of a credit card company, strongly struck the publishing market. Readers, who became anxious due to restructuring in their company, early retirement, and the burden of inflation-dr...

Top K-pop groups BTS, Black Pink, and ITZY have uploaded music videos and choreography videos on YouTube wearing traditional and reinterpreted Hanbok, which focused their global fans’ attention on the attire. Also, the promotional video “Feel the Rhythm of Korea: SEOUL” made by the Korea Tourism Organization featured a mixture of Western and Eastern touches while fully reflecting the unique joy and traditions of Korea. While receiving comments that the attempt was so “hip,” the Dokebbi (goblin) costume people wore in the video naturally drew people’s attention. The reaction of foreigners who saw Korea’s traditional outfits through OTT programs is strong as well. For example, Korea’s traditional...
