The 2022 Korean Literature Global Review Contest was held from June 20 (Mon) to September 15 (Fri), 2022, for non-Korean readers. The contest consisted of three categories (book report, drawing, and video). The languages designated for the book report category were English, French, and Spanish; for the drawing and video categories, all languages except Korean. Five books that had been translated into multiple languages were chosen to be reviewed—Kim Un-su’s The Plotters, Sohn Won-pyung’s Almond, Hwang Sun-mi’s The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, Jeong You Jeong’s The Good Son, and Cho Nam-ju’s Kim Ji-young, Born 1982. A total of 13 countries participated in the contest, and over 1,100 entries were submitted, which reflected the huge interest of foreign readers in Korean literature. This is a one-minute-eight-second-long promotional video for the 2022 Korean Literature Global Review Contest, featuring the popular K-Pop group VICTON, that shows the charm of Korean literature to the fans of the Korean Wave.
