The Han River craze that's going crazy overseas...There's even been a theft. [This is news]

Nobel Prize-Winning Writer Han Kang's fever has been hot overseas, and as soon as Han Kang's book was placed at the Korean Cultural Center in Belgium, it was stolen.

According to officials at the Korean Cultural Center in Belgium on the 15th (local time), a Korean version of the Han River's "vegetarian" was lost in the library located on the first floor of the Korean Cultural Center in Brussels, Belgium, the previous afternoon.

On the 10th, when the Han River won the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Cultural Center set up a separate section in the library of the Cultural Center to store various representative works of the Han River, and also guided the book placement and library opening time through social media accounts.

However, the 'vegetarian' was stolen over the weekend. The Cultural Center said on the 14th that it confirmed that the book was lost not long after the library opened, and that the Korean version of the "vegetarian" rather than the translated version has disappeared.

The official said, "The employees are aware that there is a closed-circuit TV (CCTV), and considering that outsiders can enter the library at all times, they assume that it is an outsider's work," adding, "I think it's a happening that happened because the interest in winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is so high."
