Han Kang is also a victim...I wrote 11 cases in the textbook and the copyright fee is "0 won." [This is the news]

It has been confirmed that novelist Han Kang, Korea's first Nobel Prize winner, has not received any copyright fees for works published in textbooks or used as teaching materials.

The relevant agency in charge of compensation payments gave an absurd reason that discussions could not be made because they could not be reached.

According to a report by the Hankook Ilbo on the 17th, Kim Jae-won's office of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party said, "The Munjeo Association has never paid copyright compensation for a writer's work used for textbooks, class purposes, or class support purposes."

On its website, Munjeohoeop points out at least 34 cases (11 textbooks, 4 classes, and 19 classes for class support purposes) as examples of the use of Han Kang's works.

"We have been guiding the receipt of the compensation through publishers since 2017 because we need the personal information of the right holder and consent to receive it in order to distribute the compensation," Moon said. "We could not know the contact information of the writer (Hangangang)."

The amount of compensation to be paid to writers who have not received copyright fees in the past 10 years as well as writers Han Kang has reached a total of 10.487 billion won.

Every year, about 1 billion won in compensation failed to find the owner.

After five years in this state, it belongs to Munjeohyeop.
