This exhibition is a special showcase that highlights Han Kang's literary accomplishments and explores the world of her works. It was organized to share the literary value of Han Kang, who has risen to the ranks of internationally renowned authors with her Nobel Prize in Literature, with the citizens of Yeoju, and to collectively experience the power and inspiration of literature.

The exhibition is being held at the 'Solmaru' book cafe in Yeoju Library under the theme 'Han Kang's Books, World, Stories,' and will run until February 28, 2025. It features over 20 books, including Han Kang's major works such as 'Human Acts,' 'The Vegetarian,' and 'I Do Not Bid Farewell,' as well as other titles related to her.

The 'Solmaru' book cafe at Yeoju Library is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays (Monday through Thursday; closed on Fridays), and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends. Visitors are welcome to freely visit the book cafe and browse Han Kang's works.

Jang Jisoon, head of the Lifelong Education Department of Yeoju City, stated, "As Han Kang's literature is receiving worldwide attention following her Nobel Prize in Literature, I hope this exhibition offers readers an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of her literary world. In particular, I hope it serves as a chance to resonate with the Swedish Academy's reason for selection, which recognized her 'powerful poetic prose that exposes the fragility of human life while confronting historical wounds and invisible rules.'"
