If there were a quarterly (3x/year) glossy magazine written in English (maybe $8-10 at newsstands, discounted for subscribers) that featured Korean soap stars, dramas and entertainment articles, would you be willing to purchase or subscribe to it?

I'm interested in it. I always wish for this, but I hope if it will be published, it will be available in my state ^_^

1. Assuming this would be published quarterly, would you pay $8-10 per issue for a glossy, fashion-type mag of approx 70 pages?

Yes

Quote:
2. Would you be willing to subscribe? Subscriptions usually mean a discount on the cover price and recieving special, free promotional items (posters, maybe an OST, etc.) that are not available if the magazine is purchased at a newsstand or book store.

Yes

3. What would you like to see in the magazine? We were thinking of the following:
a. Lots and lots of great pictures.
b. Poster pullouts.
c. Lots and lots of interviews.
d. Behind the scenes reports from dramas, parties and press tours.
e. Celebrity profiles.
f. Recaps of favorite episodes, entire series recaps.
g. Reviews.
h. Previews - but since this is quarterly, no breaking news would really be availble, since everyone surfs the web. We could possibly however, preview shows before they get here.
i. Q&A from readers, fan comments.
j. A Web site dedicated to the magazine.

I'd buy it! Nothing to contribute really, but the thread author's name cracks me up so much I had to respond.....

i think this would definitely be a hit in hawaii at least where most of the fan base doesnt speak or know any korean at all. the best way to advertise it too would be on kbfd too in that 750-9 timeslot everyday because even though ppl on forums say yes... i would think most of the fan base here in hawaii consist of the 40+ club that dont go to internet forums, but just lovvvveee watching korean dramas. i have a lot of aunties that are my parents age that watch them... so if you can get that fan base to buy the mags then definitely it would be worth publishing especially if it has mostly everythings that ppl have suggested here... definitely has to be mostly in color too would be good hehe

I think it's a good idea thumright ... I'm definetely interested i signing up... Just hope that the $8- $10 dollars per magazine will be worth the money... a little expensive compare to other magazine... but as long as It has posters, pictures, great article and great information about the Korean actors and actresses and upcoming dramas's and again lots and lots of new pictures of our favorite korean celebs faint ... It think it will all be worth it!!! Big Smile

I think that's a great idea. I'd love to be up to date with korean entertainment. $8-10 for a 70 page magazine seems a bit expensive, however, if it's quarterly (assuming only 4 issues come out a year) that should be ok. I hope if you do get this published, it could be sold in Canada too. Big Smile (Toronto more specifically)
