It is another disappointing year for Ko Un, one of the nation’s most acclaimed living poets. He has been regarded as a potential winner for the Nobel Prize in literature by local media since 2002. As of Thursday, Korea remains the only country in Northeast Asia without a Nobel laureate in literature. Japan’s Oe Kenzaburo won the award in 1994 and now China claims a laureate in literature with Wednesday’s win by Mo Yan.
