1. Books

South Korean author Han Kang has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature

*note 중요하거나 흥미로운 것을 언급하다, ~에 주목하다

*prose 산문

*all across the globe = all across the world

She has had her work translated all across the globe.

*acclaim (특히 예술적 업적에 대한) 찬사[칭찬], 칭송하다, 환호를 보내다

She got big international acclaim.

*spare (불필요한 것이 없이) 간결한, 빈약한, 여분의

I think it's fair to describe her writing as kind of spare.

*stylistically 문체상으로

*aesthetically [uhs·THEH·tuh·kuh·lee] 미적으로

*take on 떠맡다, 떠안다

It does a lot with a little, but she takes on big subject matter.

*bio 인물소개, 약력

They note that a lot of her work is focused on pain.

*take up (시간과 공간 등을) 차지하다

It's a subject matter that takes up a lot of her work.

*coalesce [kow·uh·LES] 합치다

*coalesce around ~을 중심으로 합치다, 연합하다

*serene 고요한

*depiction 묘사

All sort of coalesce around this point of how the book is both serene and beautiful in its language, but also kind of brutal in its depiction of suffering.

The Nobel Lit prize is often criticized for being too Western and too male.

*hyped 신난, 들뜬

+) excited(격식적) hyped(캐주얼한) psyched(슬랭)

*stoked 신이 난, 기쁜

So I think anyone who was hyped about that is equally, if not more, stoked about this win.
