Wela Launches Special Event with Writers Association of Korea for World Book Day

Integrated reading platform Wela is launching a special event in collaboration with the Writers Association of Korea to mark the international observance of World Book Day.

This event has been designed to curate notable passages from works by authors affiliated with the Writers Association of Korea. Notably, works by literary master Cho Jungrae and Kwon Yeo-sun, as well as Choi Jinyoung and Park Sangyoung—writers who are leading the current of contemporary Korean fiction—will be introduced. In addition, a total of nine authors, including Choi Eunyoung, Jin Eunyoung, Kim Sunwoo, Bae Jiyoung, and Park Yeonjun, will have their works featured on Wela.

The event will run for approximately two weeks, from April 20 to May 3. During this period, users who completely read or listen to at least one featured work on Wela will be entered into a prize drawing. Winners will receive randomly selected books, packaged as "blind books," featuring works by authors from the Writers Association of Korea.

Taejin Moon, CEO of Influential, the company that operates Wela, stated, "It is meaningful to collaborate with the Writers Association of Korea, the nation’s leading literary organization, in celebration of World Book Day. We will continue to expand the use of e-books and audiobooks and strive to further enhance the value of reading culture."

Meanwhile, Wela offers a diverse selection of content, including the latest popular novels. Major works such as Cho Jungrae’s and Choi Jinyoung’s are available as both e-books and audiobooks.
