Since then, a couple of dozen novels have been serialized on the Internet, with that figure likely to increase in the coming year as publishing companies look for ways to compete with the flood of entertainment options already available on and offline, not to mention the portable entertainment devices that command people’s attention on streets, buses and subways.Īnd although Web serials - which can include comic books and other kinds of genre fiction like sci-fi, romance, mystery or horror - have become popular among younger readers, the works being posted online in serial form are serious pieces of literature by established Korean writers, including Gong Ji-young, Hwang Suk-young and Shin Kyong-suk, as well as Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, whose novel “The Winner Stands Alone” was put on the Web in serial form in Korea earlier this year.
When Korean author Park Bum-shin began posting segments of his book “Cholatse,” a novel about two brothers doing dangerous climbs, on his blog in August 2007, it sparked a trend that could eventually change the publishing industry in South Korea. But what about something as sacred as literature? The Internet is a vast sea of information, and there seems to be no limit to the types of material available on the flickering white screens that seem to dominate so many aspects of our lives. Over 20 books have appeared in serial form online, including, from left to right, “Hesperus” by Hwang Suk-young, “Dogani” by Gong Ji-young, “Sagwaneun Jalhaeyo” by Lee Ki-ho and “Cholatse” by Park Bum-shin.
