K-pop, Korean cuisine, Korean cinema and taekwondo continue to enjoy immense popularity internationally and in Poland. In recent years, there has been a significant rise in interest in contemporary South Korean literature. The upcoming edition of the Warsaw International Book Fair will be the first opportunity of its kind to meet authors from South Korea, explore contemporary South Korean literature, and learn about the country’s culture, history, and customs. The centrally located, 200-square-meter stand of the Republic of Korea, a diverse program of events, including meetings with South Korean writers and publishers, book presentations, and events promoting South Korean culture, will be the focal point of next year’s edition of the fair. The participation of the Republic of Korea in the Warsaw International Book Fair is organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Poland and the Korean Cultural Center in Poland.
We inform, we have just started accepting applications from exhibitors for next year’s Warsaw International Book Fair, which will take place from May 15-18, 2025, at the Palace of Culture and Science and the Parade Square.
