South Korean author Han Kang has won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature for her "intense poetic prose" that explores historical traumas and the fragility of human life. The Nobel Committee praised her works for the emotional depth and "double exposure of pain" they evoke, aligning mental and physical suffering with Eastern philosophies. Known globally for her 2016 Booker Prize-winning novel The Vegetarian, Kang continues to make a profound impact on literature. The Nobel Prize carries a cash award of 11 million Swedish kronor ($1 million), and the ceremony will be held on December 10.
