In an interview with CBS radio's "Kim Hyun-jung's News Show" aired on the 11th, writer Han Seung-won said, "There were many cases where (the Nobel Prize) found an unexpected person and won the prize," adding, "I didn't expect it at all even if I had such an idea just in case our river might get on."
According to author Han Seung-won, Han Kang received the award by phone from Sweden at around 7:50 p.m., just before the presentation of the Nobel Prize in Literature at 8 p.m. (Korea Standard Time).
Regarding his daughter's literary world, he said, "It is a tragedy in Korean, but tragedy is a tragedy wherever it is presented, and it is an emotional, lyrical, very deep, beautiful, and sad expression of the tragedy."
He continued, "I think it was probably said that he was a writer who had a special meaning from 'vegetarian'. Then came "The Boy Is Coming" and then "I Don't Say Goodbye" (가) 4). "As Gwangju and 4.3 are connected, violence called the state, trauma from the world, and some kind of love for soft humans, and such things were firmly buried." I think the judges captured it," he said.
Finally, he said, "There is nothing to throw away about Kang's novel. Each one is a masterpiece. I'm sure it's not just because hedgehogs say my baby is pretty," he said, proud.
Artist Han Seung-won has built a writing room named "Haesan Cave" in Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, and is working on his work.
Han Seung-won, who was born in Jangheung in 1939, made his debut in 1968 and published novels such as "Zeze Barraze," "Choui," "Moon Gabi Flower Mom," a collection of novels, "Saturday Horse People," a collection of poems, "The Diary of Love," and "House for the Moon." He won the Lee Sang Literary Award, the Modern Literature Award, and the Kim Dong-ri Literature Award, and earlier this year, he continued his writing activities by publishing a full-length novel "The Way of People" (Literature Neighborhood) with autobiographical stories.
