a large bookstore in downtown LondonAlong with masterpieces by world literary giants such as

John Steinbeck and George Orwell, the "Vegetarian" of the Han River is on display.

The work, which is also a British Booker Prize winner, is drawing more attention after the announcement of this year's Nobel Prize for Literature.

[Jackie Kelsey / The Vegetarian] This book makes us think about the most extreme and inhumane experiences we have as humans. Sometimes the expressions are very stark, but you get something after you read them.

With Han Kang's Nobel Prize in Literature, the Korean Cultural Center in the U.K. prepared a special exhibition called "Best Seller" to showcase Korean literature for the first time in the U.K.

Last year, the moment King Charles recited Yun Dong-ju's poem "The Wind Blows" in English inspired him.

[Seon Seung-hye / Director of the Korean Cultural Center: I wanted to convey the emotional and lyrical aspects of Korean culture to British people who really love literature. The biggest meaning of this exhibition is that such emotions and feelings will connect Korea and Britain and sympathize with each other.]

This special exhibition will introduce literature works from Hong Gil-dongjeon and Kim Man-joong's Guinmong to Lee Sang's works.

You can enjoy Yun Dong-ju's 'Night of Counting Stars' in Korean and English with a sweet video.
You can get a glimpse of the artist's world of works by reading excerpts from the novel of the Han River and translating them into English.

[Paul / Londoner: This exhibition is an entry into Korean literature. Show the British public what you can find in each era. That's great.]

The Cultural Center plans to expand literature-related events, including meetings with Korean literary translators, even after the special exhibition, which runs until January next year.

The Nobel Prize in Literature is an opportunity for Britons to learn more about Korean literature.
