The first keyword is the Han River Nobel Prize for Literature.

Yesterday evening, I had some good news.

The news of novelist Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature is drawing keen attention at home and abroad.

When the news of Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature spread, the Gwanghwamun branch of Kyobo Bookstore displayed Han Kang's works in the Nobel Prize corner.

Citizens took a "certification shot" in front of the stand to celebrate the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Also, the online market was so hot that the bookstore site was paralyzed.

Yesterday, Han Kang's work swept Kyobo Bookstore's online bestseller ranking from 1st to 9th.

Japanese bookstores also moved quickly.

A Internet user living in Tokyo reported the situation of Shinjuku Bookstore in Tokyo, saying that the bookstore stand is being filled with works from the Han River.

"I didn't expect to see such a scene in Tokyo," he said, expressing surprise.

In the meantime, controversy arose last year when it was found that Han River's "vegetarian" was included among the 500 books that the Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education recommended to discard as a "youth harmful sex education book."

According to the data released by former lawmaker Kang Min-jung in May, "The Vegetarian" of the Han River and "City of the Blind" of the Nobel Prize-winning theme Saramagu were included.

"A library that discarded the representative work of Korea's first Nobel laureate in literature is no joke," critics said. "Since you won the Nobel Prize in literature, will you buy back the discarded book?" but
There was also a counterargument that
"The Nobel Prize for Literature and Adolescent Hazardous Books are different, not at the right level to be placed in the school library."

Translation also played a significant role after Asian female writers won the first Nobel Prize.

British translator Deborah Smith broke down the language barrier and announced Han Kang's work to readers around the world.

Six years after studying Korean, Smith translated "Vegetarian" into English and shared the Man Booker Prize with Han Kang.

Although I had no contact with Korea, I learned Hangul by myself and had difficulty translating by searching through dictionaries one by one in the early days of translation.

Smith took it important to be faithful to the spirit of the original and said, "I oppose using soju as 'Korean vodka' and cartoons as derived from other cultures such as 'Korean Manga'."He said he used words such as 'brother' and 'sister' in the translation of

{Here comes the boy'.

The next keyword is 'Kkambae by 2050?'

By 2050, about 25 years later, the price of cabbage may rise further, making it a diamond cabbage rather than a gold pear.

The golden cabbage phenomenon, which costs 10,000 won per cabbage, continues.

As of yesterday, the retail price of cabbage rose again to 9,132 won.

It is predicted that this golden cabbage phenomenon will worsen in the future.

In about 25 years, the cultivation area of highland cabbage will shrink to about 3% of today.

It's because of climate change, and the government said it didn't expect a heat wave this year right away.

[Song Mi-ryeong / Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs: The weather got better around Chuseok, so I thought there would be a lot of Chinese cabbage shipped after Chuseok, but it's too unusual high temperature.]

Earlier, the foreign media also predicted that in 2090 the cabbages in the highlands of Gangwon-do will dry up due to climate change.
Concerns are growing that kimchi, which cannot be left out of the
Korean table, may disappear into history.

The last keyword turns out to be 'dog meat'.

Sate, grilled skewers, one of the representative foods of the resort Bali.

I'm sure you've tried it at least once on a trip.

Foreign media reported that this skewer could be dog meat, not chicken.

Japanese media 'President' reported that some of Bali's street foods are made of dog meat, citing a French AFP news agency report.

In addition, Bali authorities seized dog meat illegally distributed in July.

Trading dog meat in Bali is known to result in up to three months in prison or a fine of 4.3 million won in our money.The media outlet

also delivered 'tips' to distinguish dog meat from other meat in Bali street food.

The dog meat handled in Indonesia says 'RW', which means dog meat in the local dialect.

If you're going on a trip, you'd better check it out before you eat.
