Han Kang's acceptance of the Nobel Prize in Literature created a "Han River craze" from large bookstores to local bookstores.

There was also an "open run" procession waiting in line even before the bookstore opened.

There was a line in front of a large bookstore in downtown Seoul from early morning.

It's also noticeable that he's carrying a wheelbarrow.

It is an "open run" to save books by Han Kang, citizens who are busy walking as soon as they open the door.

However, the book runs out quickly and leaves a picture even if it's empty.

[Kim Changyup / Hongje-dong, Seoul: I hope to take this opportunity to buy a book and read it after the college entrance exam. I thought about it and came to buy it, but it's all sold out....]

New books come in and out, but they sell as soon as they are put on a stand.

A little while ago, a new supply of "The Vegetarian," one of the representative works of Han Kang, came in.

There is no time for citizens to step on to buy a book by a writer.

Office workers who took a break during lunchtime and ethnic Koreans who heard glorious news from their home countries also celebrate the meaningful day.

The constant stream of readers eventually ran out of the hastily prepared supplies.

[Park Il / Guro 3-dong, Seoul: It's so nice, I'm going to give a gift to my acquaintances after hearing the good news, and I thought the receiver would like it. It feels so good. I came here using my lunch time, but I think it was better to come out earlier.]

[Lee Ki-bong / Seattle, USA] I didn't ride it, but I'm very proud and surprised. [I want to give something I read to those who work in Seattle]

As soon as the news of the award was heard, small bookstores, where Han Kang's books were sold out, have a series of questions about whether more books are coming in, but it is not easy to get inventory.

[Bookstore official: As soon as you won the award, the rest of the book was sold out. Customers keep asking a lot of questions, and since the publishers can only give us books....]

The "Han River craze" in bookstores at the news of Korea's first Nobel Prize in literature is expected to continue for a while.
