This novel is one of my favorite novels ever. This is a story about the loss of a mother at Seoul subway station after her husband preceded her and left her outside the train. But the question here is, Will her children try to find her? Will she return to her husband? That woman spent her life sacrificing everything until the day she disappeared, and that mother did her best to help her family and cared more about Her family’s life than her life while she was in so much pain. When she got los, everyone...

South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets

South Korean Literature, Expanding Its clout in Global Markets   2018.07.31   South Korean literature has recently been entering a number of different countries with different languages, instead of focusing on one language or one country.

This novel tells the story of Marilyn Munroe and her interpreter Alice in the February of 1954, just after the Korean War ended in a truce. The story of the two women...
