After the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature, books by Han Kang have been in short supply at bookstores, and some works are also sold on second-hand trading sites for hundreds of thousands of won.

On the 14th, a second-hand trading site posted a message that the first edition of the 2007 collection of essays published by Han Kang was sold for 700,000 won.

This is a price that has jumped 60 times from the book's price of 11,000 won, but the transaction of the book was completed immediately on the same day.

The first six editions of the 29th Lee Sang Literary Award collection featuring Han Kang's "Monggo Store" were completed at 200,000 won. There was also a message that he wanted to trade the first seven editions of the same book for 150,000 won.

In addition, he also said that he would sell a special limited edition of "The Boy Is Coming" for 200,000 won and the first edition for 300,000 won.

The seller, who took pictures of several first editions of Han River's books and posted them, realized the price of writing and singing, "We will sell them to those who are offered the price and tell us the high price."

As the demand for books by Han Kang surged after the news of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, interest in rare books also seems to have increased.

According to the bookstore industry, sales of related books increased 910 times over the past three days from the 10th to the 12th, immediately after Han Kang won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

More than 300,000 inventory copies of major large bookstores have been sold, and they are currently continuing pre-orders.
