Our premium translations make a world of difference.

Founded to deliver the brilliance of Korean culture to the world, Seoul Selection is a publisher that specializes in English-language material, and has worked with a number of distinguished public institutions for several years.

Starting in 2008, we decided to apply our expertise and experience to the field of translation to offer accurate and sophisticated results.

Seoul Selection’s translation department is comprised of both native speakers who’ve mastered Korean and Koreans who’ve been educated abroad, forming a collaborative team of translators and editors to ensure precision and quality.

We promise to deliver a polished and meticulous translation that reads naturally, bridging the linguistic gaps to transfer the essence of the original text.

Translation is about more than just mechanically replacing one language with another. It’s about taking the essence of a text and delivering it, as pure and whole as possible, to a reader of a different language. As natives in the target language can deliver a text’s message in the most natural and sophisticated manner possible, Seoul Selection employs native translators who collaborate with our editing staff of both Koreans and natives, thereby ensuring high levels of precision and literary quality.

Seoul Selection has been devoted to providing English-language books on Korea for the past 10 years.

Stemming from our ability to understand and sympathize with our clients, we can give images and stories new life through creative design, or use our base of quality translations in various languages to offer multi-lingual publication—even distribution, making Seoul Selection your one-stop publisher.
