, ‘The research team of the Department of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Oxford University announced on the 4th that they will be hosting the ‘1st Oxford Korean Literature Festival’ on the 28th local time.’,
,
, ‘Starting this year, this event, which will be held annually, invites notable Korean writers to share about their literary works directly. Plans to translate major works into English, German, and French were also announced.’,
,
, ‘The professor leading this initiative explained the background of the event, saying, “Following the popularity of K-pop, K-dramas, K-movies, and K-food, attention is now turning to K-literature. However, Korean writers are not yet widely known in Europe despite their popularity.”‘,
,
, ‘In fact, Korean literature is being recognized as the next promising field following ‘K-culture’.’,
,
, ‘Actor and novelist Chae In-pyo was selected as the first invited writer for the Oxford Korean Literature Festival.’,
,
, “Chae has published three full-length novels, including ‘Today’s Forecast’ (2011), ‘Someday if We Both Look at the Same Star’ (2021), and ‘Mermaid Hunt’ (2022).”,
,
, “In particular, ‘Someday if We Both Look at the Same Star,’ which was originally published as ‘Farewell, Hills’ in 2009, is a work that addresses the unresolved national trauma of comfort women during the Japanese colonial period with a profound and warm touch.”,
,
, “The research team led by Professor Jo is providing support for the translation of this work into English, German, and French.”,
,
, “Chae, along with his wife, actress Shin Ae-ra, will visit Oxford University to give a lecture on his works centered around this book, engaging with the audience in a question and answer session.”,
