/lit/ - Literature

Probably, they made that alphabet that made it easier for people to read like 500 years ago.

>>20950691
First Kyuu? It's a nice read. Not great, but enjoyable.

>>20950702
Is it classic or modern literature?

>>20950691
>Has Korea made ANY literature?
Yes, read them before making dumb threads like this.

>>20950775
It's modern.

>>20950851

>>20951732
compared to other languages, korean is relatively difficult to rhyme. so most of contemporary poets have moved on to more convoluted or avant-garde poetry (e.g. futurism) rather than classical one and the readership is getting smaller as a result

The Dog Butcher by June Kim.

>>20952087
Hmm any good poets i could check out?
>>20952105
What's it about?

>>20952387

It's about a dog butcher who is dying and starts a journey into the Korean countryside with one of his dogs that he was supposed to kill.

>>20952431
Is it any good?

>>20950691

here's a recommendation from jiheon

they are all in korean. that's why you haven't heard of them.

>>20952442

It is sad but excellent. Beautiful descriptions of the Korean countryside and small town life.

I liked this one pretty well

>>20950691
they haven't, and that's ok

Literature as a medium of art is long dead, and the modern equivalent to it is films.

And no one does cinema better than the Koreans.

>>20954220
good joke, they have like 6 good films
As with everything the Japs far outclass them in cinema

>>20954330
More than the us have ever produced

HELP! HELP! I'M FROM KOREA

And that alphabet introduced a lot of problems to the point they are thinking in going back to Chinese ideograms, which was not removed in all those 500 years.

Is the Korean language really that bad?

The Vegetarian by Han Kang

>>20954494
Small alphabet, way too many homonyms. Ask any Japanese how hard it is to read kana-only works.

>>20954486
Provide some proof of this. I did some Google searches and couldn't find anything.

>>20950691
None, Koreans are soulless because they place no value on human life

>>20950691
they are the most shallow culture on earth, literature isn't their strong suit

>>20950691
Squid game

Tower of God, kek

Yeah, not really though. To make up for it, their films are amazing

>>20950691
Korea is a country that was fully in the medieval period, if not even lower than that, about 6~7 generations ago. They are the single best example of the Western colonizer's civilizational power, and yet only a fraction of them have begun evolving a soul.
I'm sure there is great literature to be found in there somewhere, but you won't find troves of it.

>>20950691
Koreans achieved the biggest literary piece of this century: "BTS - The Ultimate Fan Book: Experience the K-Pop Phenomenon!"

>>20954486
No they don't

>>20954538
I really wish I could read some Sang-ryung Park. Are there other Korean authors with work like his?
Had anybody here read Anatoli Kim?

>>20950691
why thank you for giving me an excuse for posting a chart of books that literally nobody will ever read

>>20950691
Why is there so little Korean porn? And no, broadcast jockey shit doesn't count

Read this.

This guy was metoo'd so you better like him to own the libtards.

>>20954486
Midwit point, and Hanzi aren’t ideograms. They haven’t been ideograms since the oracle bones. Hanzi are logograms and have phonetic components which help with reading, learning and remembering, that’s why you don’t have to remember all signs individually nor by ‘radical’ alone. Having phonetic components alone doesn’t make them ideograms, durther contributing to being logograms are their grammatical function as a script.
Alphabets and character scripts are not that alien by virtue of their language function, although they are neither related to or function linguistically the same way as just being another way to write apoken language.

Why are Korean girls so cute, bros? What's their secret?

unfortunately porn is illegal in korea (both good and bad korea)

Cocaine is illegal in the US. Not an excuse.

>>20961161
You don't understand. It is REALLY illegal

>>20961179
So is murder in Michigan. _Not an excuse:_

>>20950691
Yeah, in earlier years there weren't many Korean books translated to English that I'm aware of, but a few years back Dalkey Archive translated a bunch.

>story of Hong Gildong
One of the essential readings for Korean lit and yet Penguin keeps choosing shit art aimed at zoomers for some reason

>>20961148
How do artists get away with it
and trust me I follow quite a few Korean artists

Yes.

They make those webcomics where the man looks generic but has a massive cock and the censorship means that all cocks and pussies and pure white.

>>20963172
See >>20963923
They just go OTT with the censoring. Japan sometimes gets away with little bars but everything Korea is pure white. Funnily enough it's easy to find uncensored Chink porn since if they're posting on social media they're breaking rules anyway so you get accounts called @1EzGHege174 posting closeups of their dropping wet vaginas.

I know this because I researched it for my forthcoming novella.

Any good manhwa recs? Ideally available to pirate?

>>20963942
Need link to dripping chink vag

>>20963942
I also need multiple links to these accounts

>>20965166
that guy is lying, there's no way to get pictures of vaginas online, sorry man

>>20950691
North Korea is hiding bangers and masterpieces from you.

>>20961148
Only the big websites (stuff like pornhub) are inaccessible. Nobody's getting in trouble for possessing porn or downloading torrents. The tech-savvy just have to use a VPN. For the tech retarded there is still a porn scene on physical media that is unfightable.

>>20954970
this guy gets it! Koreans do nothing but regurgitate and fetishize "Western" trends & arts the way weebs regurgitate and fetishize "Eastern" trends and arts. People say the Chinese can't into originality, but THESE guys are really the guilty party. Fucking Koreans man, one of the most annoying, pretentious groups of people on earth. I like me some H Mart though, that's pretty nice I guess.
