Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province is preparing a special concert to share the poetic world of author Han Kang, the first Korean to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Dongcheon Library in Yongin will hold the "Poetry Recital Concert of Han Kang by Yongin Local Poets" on the 16th of next month.

As part of the library's specialized program, the event will be hosted by poets Kim Seung-il, who published the poetry collection "I Am a Maze and a Kiss of the Maze," and Joo Young-heon, who released collections such as "If Not You, I Am Nothing." Both poets reside in Yongin and have communicated with local residents about literary works in various ways.

The event will introduce Han Kang's literary career and her poetry collection "I Put Evening in the Drawer." "I Put Evening in the Drawer" is novelist Han Kang's first poetry collection. There will also be a time to read selected poems from Han Kang's collections with explanations, sharing the literary world created by Han Kang.

The library will recruit 50 participants on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10 a.m. on the 29th through its website.

A representative from Dongcheon Library said, "This program will provide an opportunity to understand Han Kang and her works more deeply and to encounter works across a wide range of genres. We will continue to make the library a space where local residents can communicate through literature and enjoy the arts."
