'Slam Dunk Sinjangjaepyeonpan' Movie Release Spurs 15-Fold Surge in Sales

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The comprehensive bestseller for the second week of January on Yes24 is the elementary study strategy book 'Sky Bus,' which claimed the top spot just one week after its release. The book contains the unchanging rules of college entrance preparation, realized by 'Bundang Gangssaem,' a high school entrance exam expert with 170,000 YouTube subscribers, who has worked as a Korean language instructor in Daechi-dong and Bundang for 20 years. It particularly analyzes in detail the situation where students who started from English kindergartens, completed advanced studies perfectly, and hovered around the top ranks in middle school, collapse once they enter high school.

The humanities essay 'If I Lived My Life Again (100,000 Copies Commemorative Special Edition),' which lightens the burden of modern life with the message, "When one door closes, another opens. So stop worrying and just live happily!" ranked second. The long novel 'Uncomfortable Convenience Store,' which wittily captures everyday stories, took third place with its 1 million copies commemorative limited Winter Edition. The book '2023 Big Star Teacher Choi Tae-sung’s Starry Korean History Korean History Proficiency Test Advanced (Levels 1, 2, 3) Upper Volume,' which helps prepare for the 'Korean History Proficiency Test,' an essential gateway for public school teachers and a bonus point for most public institutions' recruitment, ranked fourth. The second book of author Kim Ho-yeon's neighborhood story 'Uncomfortable Convenience Store 2,' reborn as the Maple Edition with the author's handwritten signature printed, ranked fifth.

Kim Hak-ryeol, known by the pen name Passyong and former head of the Real Estate Research Department at the Korea Gallup Research Institute, entered the charts at ninth place with his real estate market guide 'Absolute Principles of Seoul Real Estate' just one day after its release. Also, 'Mr. President' by former protocol secretary of the Moon Jae-in administration, Tak Hyun-min, ranked tenth despite being available for pre-order ahead of its release on the 18th. The book contains various know-how from his experience as a secretary assisting the president and as an event planner for 1,195 events including national ceremonies, overseas visits, and inter-Korean events.

In the eBook category, the life advice book 'If I Lived My Life Again' by psychoanalyst Kim Hye-nam took first place, and 'Speaking English 2023 January Issue,' which helps practice English as a language rather than an academic subject, ranked second.

Following the special edition 'Slam Dunk Champ,' which topped the bestseller list on New Year's Day to coincide with the release of the movie 'The First Slam Dunk,' the 'Slam Dunk New Edition' series, featuring new covers illustrated by Inoue Takehiko, is popular. As of the 12th, seven titles in the Slam Dunk series have secured spots within the top 20 comprehensive bestsellers on Yes24. According to Yes24, sales of the 'Slam Dunk New Edition' increased approximately 15 times (1495.2%) compared to the previous week as of the movie release date on the 4th. Yes24 is exclusively holding an Inoue Takehiko author exhibition and is running a successful event where customers who purchase comics worth over 30,000 KRW, including event target books, receive a gold foil mini poster of Slam Dunk or a Vagabond postcard. Among the seven titles, six of the original Slam Dunk box sets are temporarily out of stock.
