South Korea's Translated Literature Awards, Where Are They Now?

South Korea's Translated Literature Awards, Where Are They Now?   2017.11.01   South Korean works of literature are making themselves known here and there outside the country. At this time, it's easy for the importance of translation to be overlooked. The same work of art can shine more brilliantly or suffer through different translators.

And so, there are increasingly more awards to boost the number of excellent translators and translated books in South Korea. The following describes the status of South Korea's prizes for translated literature and examples.   The Emergence of Screensellers in South Korea   In March 2016, Han Kang's The Vegetarian first published in 2007 made headlines when it became a candidate for the Man Booker International Prize - the first for any Korean.

Round Ground

Round Ground Where dreams of a world full of well-rounded lives exist   2019.10.07   How does play begin? There are times when one ponders whether play has turned into learning. So much educational material and the media rarely think twice about directing children how to play, and caregivers are always eager to lead and interfere when children play. One may think there are right and wrong ways to play, but play will always be play. Playing is enough when it's enjoyed no matter the process, with fun materials and tools. Everything the eye can see, whether it be tree leaves, bubbles, passersby or the house you live in, can be materials for play or even play itself if it's visible and tangible. Children are aware of this joyful fact more than anyone else, and Round Ground is the place where that fun for children is raised to another level.     Even just listening to the name Round Ground is fun. What meaning does the name Round Ground carry? Could you also introduce y...
