Special Project   [Korean Scholars ?] Deep Insights into the World from the Great ScholarLee O-Young’s Viewpoint A creative life led by the trinity of reading, writing, and thinking   2022.02.14   A well-educated individual is called a scholar. Today's intellectual, professor Lee O-Young is a representative figure as a scholar. A literary critic, journalist, professor, and the first minister of culture, Lee O-young left a strong impression when he first appeared in the literary world. When he was a university student, literary pieces of Yi Sang, now known as a revolutionary writer, were not welcomed. Professor Lee drew attention in the literary world by announcing Theory on Yi Sang, which interprets Yi Sang's pieces from a new perspective.

Movie Critic’s Pick

One-Liner Quotes   Movie Critic’s Pick   2022.01.03     Though Korean literature never won a Nobel Prize (I believe it is not a big deal), there are countless great pieces. Many literary works will deliver globally appealing stories as Koreans have gone through overwhelming events. Modern Korean history is full of incidents and has been written into works of literature thanks to the writers' efforts to reflect their experience of overcoming catastrophic events. Koreans experienced war, poverty, dictatorship, and the democratic movement in a short period. Hence, it is only natural for novelists to capture the times in their works.North and South (Moonji Publishing Company), written by Hong Sung-won, is one of the masterpieces that the world would recognize. This saga was written in 1977 and showed the Korean war, the horrific fall of humans as a species, and the tenacious vitality that regenerates life as characters overcome ...
