The 2026 Seoul International Book Fair is a vibrant festival where authors, scholars, artists, editors, and readers come together to share knowledge and information about books. This year marks the 68th edition of the fair, which has evolved from an educational expo in 1947 to a significant cultural exchange event, showcasing Korea's literature and culture to the world.

With numerous publisher booths, exhibitions, and lectures, the fair also features a Korean pavilion at international book fairs. Expect to see a rich array of programs and activities that celebrate the literary arts.
