Han Kang, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, has persistently explored human violence and the tragedy of life in major works such as "The Vegetarian" and "The Boy Is Coming."
He expressed his thoughts on this ahead of the 2016 Man Booker Prize for Vegetarian.
Let's listen to it together.
[Han Kang / Writer (last 2016)] It's a way of asking how a human being can reject violence so extremely. That's why I didn't come up with this as a defense or answer to this behavior, but I wanted to ask you a question together. I wanted to think about what human beings are, what it is so natural that we are human, and how sensitively we can look at the violence contained in living as human beings.]
