[CULTURE] Korean literature in translation enjoys growing universal appeal

 

As Korean literature in translation continues to reach more international readers, Korean authors are achieving a growing presence in the global publishing market. So far, a total of eight novels have been nominated for prestigious literary awards this year.
한국문학 번역본이 해외 독자들에게 점차 친숙해지며 세계 출판시장에서 한국 작가의 존재감이 커지고 있다. 올해 유력 문학상 후보에 오른 한국 작품은 지금까지 총 8편이다.
