[Baek Dong-heum / New Zealand compatriots (Winned the Grand Prize for Overseas Korean Literature in 2017): It couldn't be more enjoyable for overseas Koreans. It was the news of the grand tour of my home country. In the meantime, it has been good to live abroad and affect Korea's economy and the world in various ways. I was very disappointed because I was a little weak culturally, especially in literature. But now that I'm doing this, I feel like I've been able to break through what I've been doing so far, especially from the perspective of writing, I'm very encouraged and glad to see you.]

[Lee Eun-kyung / YTN Vancouver Reporter: 'I never thought she was anything special until my wife started going on a vegetarian diet.' Writer Han Kang, I'm reading your book here in Vancouver, Canada. As an overseas Korean, I am happy and sincerely congratulate you on winning the Nobel Prize. The group chat room of compatriots here in London was also very lively. In fact, for Koreans living abroad like me, this news seems to mean more than just amazing and happy to be the same Korean.
