E-books have started to transform the entire ecosystem of book publishing industry including the authors, publishers, bookstores, readers, related workers and so on in this smart media era. Digital environment affected the publishing industry tremendously in the Republic of Korea. Main purpose of this study was to reveal the current situation of Korean publishing in comparison with the global publishing market trends. For this study, I researched the Korean publishing market trends and global changes of publishing industry. And I also reviewed current definition of Korean “publishing” and “publications” in the Korean Publishing Industry Promotion Act.
As a result, I noticed that the current definition of “publication” and “publishing” in the Republic of Korea is focused on the narrow aspects. Therefore I recommended that we need to reconceptualize the definition of “publishing” more broadly for fostering of Korean publishing industry in the smart media era. Taking this point of view could make participants in this industry think more broadly, strategically and globally. The transformation of the book and publishing expects the transformation of reading. Therefore, it can be possible for us to think about the real value of publishing and publishing industry in the future.
