Nothing gets the work done faster, or makes the word travel further, than having the might of the government behind it or the united action of a group of individuals with shared interests. In the Korean publishing industry, such synergy is evident and has been very effective. Two of the four major organizations working to disseminate Korean content, literature and culture inside and outside of the country are under the aegis of the government: KPIPA (Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea) and LTI Korea (Literature Translation Institute of Korea). The other two, KPA (Korean Publishers Association) and KEPA (Korea Electronic Publishing Association), count on the collective strength of their members to pursue their common goals and protect their interests as one entity.
