K-book exhibition celebrates Hangeul Day
The Korean Cultural Center in Thailand is hosting a K-book exhibition to celebrate Hangeul (Korean alphabet) Proclamation Day, which falls on Oct 9 each year. The Center has prepared various events such as a Book Talk with authors, translation contest and music concerts, which will run until early next year.
This exhibition is a part of the "2025 K-Book Overseas Promotion And Exchange Event", co-hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea. It mainly focuses on Korean literature and children picture books which have gained attention worldwide. Korean children's books are also well-known in Thailand.
The books featured in the exhibition were selected in collaboration with seven book publishers in Thailand -- Amarinbooks, Lumi, Piccolo, Prism, Page, Nanmeebooks and SandClock Books. These books are those that were particularly loved by Thai readers this year and are also expected to attract interest in the near future.
On Oct 28, the Center will invite author Park Sang-young to talk about Korean literature. His short story collection Love In The Big City has been nominated for various international literary awards, including the International Booker Prize, the Dublin Literary Award, the Prix Médicis Award for foreign literature, and the Émile Guimet Prize for Asian Literature. It has also been translated and published in 25 countries in 18 languages, including English, French, German and Thai. Based on this work, a movie and series with the same title was released through Netflix in 2024. Following a meeting with fourth-year students from Chulalongkorn University's Korean Language Department on Oct 28, Park will engage with readers in a book talk at 6pm. Through the author's creative activities and experiences, the event is expected to be a meaningful opportunity to examine the current state of Korean literature and contemplate the role and future of literature in this "age of no-reading".
In November, the Center will host a Korean literature translation contest for Korean language majors in Thailand. Students will compete in translating Kim Young-jin's children's book Seollal (Lunar New Year's Day). Kim has published numerous picture books in Thailand, including Heart-Pounding Convenience Store and Dad's Strange Journey Home From Work. Seollal has not yet been published in Thailand, but with the permission of the copyright holder and publisher (Gilbut Kid), the Center has been granted the opportunity to present it for the first time.
In addition, in December, there will be an event themed "Literature Meets Classical Music" where Korean artists will be invited to an exhibition space to perform Korean songs based on classical music and poetry from Korean literary works.
Lee Sun-ju, the director of the Center, said: "Hangeul Proclamation Day on Oct 9 commemorates King Sejong's promulgation of Hangeul in 1446. It's especially meaningful that the Center launched this exhibition ahead of the occasion, providing a space where Thai people can read, watch and discuss Korean books created in Hangeul. The Center has prepared a variety of events each month throughout the exhibition period, including a book talk, a translation contest, and literature-themed concerts. I hope you'll visit the Korean Cultural Center for a special experience."
