Right now our BookTok recommendations have been full of Korean literature, from cosy healing fiction reads, to emotional and harrowing prize winning novels, it seems our reading lists are full of K-Literature stories. South Korea has shared it's literature with the world via translation for over a century, and in 1974 the Korean Culture and Arts Foundation gave a bigger boost to the sector by funding more translations of Korean works into English, but in the last few years there's been a real increase in Korean novels in our bookshops and on social media.
