Characteristics of South Korean Web Novel Platforms and Ventures Overseas

Characteristics of South Korean Web Novel Platforms and Ventures Overseas From a Community Into a Medium:South Korea's Web Novel Platforms Evolve   2017.9.11   There is a Korean phrase that goes: pearls are only good when they have been strung together. It means even if you have good resources, they will be of little good if you don't use them properly. South Korean genre literature used to be like this. There were many talented authors who could write genre literature and fans who wished to read it, even if their numbers fell short of other countries where genre literature developed far sooner than South Korea like Japan, the United States and places in Europe.

Busan

Busan A City You Meet by walking its streets and crossing its bridges   2019.09.09     Busan. Frequently referred to as 'the second-largest city in South Korea' but these words don’t do the city justice. Of course, when it comes to objective data like population or the size of the economy, the description is true, but it would be regretful to leave the city's description at that single sentence, as Busan has its own unique culture. That uniqueness only grows in the oldest parts of the city. This is why one should walk through the streets and cross bridges to take a true look at Busan.     Travel into layers of time     The oldest and most cultural area of Busan is surely Bosu-dongA very old story that started during the time of the Korean War is continuing today.     For the longest time, Busan served more as an industrial city than a travel destination.
