Yeon Agency At The Seoul International Book Fair 2022
Published on 18/10/2022
One of the ITSme Society agencies, Yeon Agency, attended The Seoul International Book Fair 2022, back in June. This fair is also known as the largest book and publishing trade show in Korea.
The guest country of honor for the five-day fair was Colombia, the first Latin-American nation to have this honor. Many publishers in Korea, from the big publishers to the self-publishers, opened their booths to showcase their books. Unfortunately, due to travel restrictions, many other overseas publishers were unable to attend in person. They did, however, authorize their country’s embassies to organize and showcase their booklets.
Yeon had a great time at the Seoul International Book Fair, getting to meet and engage with many publishers around Korea. They hope to attend next year as well!
