Jaeum&Moeum Publishing Co., Ltd.
Other
In 1997, Jaeum and Moeum Co., Ltd. was established under the slogan of collecting all the “letters” (Jaeum) and “sounds”(Moeum) of the world. It operates a number of imprint brands, including EZ Book, a children’s/adolescent book brand, and Neo Fiction, a genre literature book brand, and has become a mainstay of the Korean publishing industry by launching over 10,000 volumes.
Jaeum and Moeum have published literary magazines that support Korean literature, novels that have been recognized for their excellence at home and abroad, humanities books that will raise the status of culture to the next level, youth literature and humanities/study books that propel teenagers’ mental development, and practical books that provide useful tips for everyday life.
The books of Jaeum and Moeum are attracting the attention of not only overseas publishing agencies but also external production companies that produce secondary creative works such as movies, dramas, plays, and musicals. Several books, including A Killer’s Shopping List, A Killer’s Shopping Mall, A Christmas Carol, and The Time-Selling Store, have been adapted into new forms, and many other works are ready to be transformed in similar ways.
In addition, we are running a New Literature Award/Youth Literature Award/Short Novel Award/Fairy Tale Contest on a scale that is one of the largest among Korean publishing companies. As many authors who debuted through the Jaeum and Moeum Literary Contest have grown into spotlight writers in the literary world, the Jaeum and Moeum Literary Contest has become the publishing industry’s most notable gateway to new writers. Through this active collaboration between publisher, author, and reader, several series of books were born that have made their mark in the publishing industry.
