55th Modern Korean Literature Translation Awards Judges' report

Our three judges for The Korea Times’ 55th Modern Korean Literature Translation Awards were in the process of selecting this year’s finalists when the news arrived that Han Kang had been named the 2024 Nobel Prize recipient in literature. This recognition not only celebrates Korean literature but also fulfills Korea’s long-standing aspiration for its literature to gain global acknowledgment — a vision that has driven The Korea Times’ translation awards since its inception 55 years ago. So it is with great pride that we extend heartfelt congratulations to Han Kang and all her translators, whose dedication has helped make this achievement possible.
