Writer Kim Kyu-na's controversy over disparaging the "Han River Nobel Prize"..."A Chinese writer should get it".

Amid a flurry of assessments that novelist Han Kang has become the first Korean to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, the current author has posted a critique of the award.

Author Kim Kyu-na wrote on her SNS on the 10th that the meaning of winning the Nobel Prize in Literature is the justification of the fall in Nobel values, the proof of literary hypocrisy, and the distortion of history, saying that it is a winner of the times, but it is not a prize that will remain proud in history.

He also argued that if the award had to be given to the East, China's Yen Lianke should have received it, and that this year's winner and Yen Lianke's literature were incomparable.

Yan Lianke is a novelist who wrote The Book and is known as a master of contemporary Chinese literature.

At the same time, Kim criticized Han River's representative works as distortion of history, mentioning "The Boy Is Coming" and "I Don't Say Goodbye."

However, it did not specify which parts were historical distortions.

Kim said, "If the reason why we should be happy today is just because we are Koreans, I don't think so," and posted one after another in support of Yen Lian-ke.

Writer Kim Kyu-na was elected to the Busan Ilbo New Year Literature in 2006 and the Chosun Ilbo New Year Literature in 2007, and made her literary debut, and is currently publishing manuscripts in the Chosun Ilbo.

Earlier, the Swedish Academy said that Han Kang was chosen as the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, facing historical trauma and presenting intense poetic prose.
