Online-Offline Bilingual Readings of Korean Literature

Bilingual Reading events "Yeok-si (Translated Poetry)" and "Yeok-seol (Translated Prose)" bring korean poets and novelists together with translators to read their works in both Korean and foreign languages. The events were designed with the intent to inform the Korean public of the current state of Korean literature, which is being translated into various languages for readers around the world.

This year's Bilingual Readings will introduce children's and young adult literature and writers to the public and also provide opportunities for reader participation, such as events for local high school and college students to translate Korean literature into foreign languages and to read their translations.
