Congratulations, Author Han Kang! I hope I can read your books asap.

Many of her novels are based on a major historical event in Korea - 5.18 Democratic Movement of 1980. During the Movement, hundreds, if not thousands, of Koreans were shot and killed by their own government, but the party responsible still denies it until this day. Back in 2012 when she was writing one of her novels, Korean government - ruled by the same party - blacklisted her in an attempt to stop her from publishing anything. The same party is still in power today in Korea, and they still continue to ban her books in libraries, and spread false rumors about 5.18 Movement.
