The aftermath of novelist Han Kang's winning the Nobel Prize for Literature for the first time in Korea seems to continue in the music industry.

As of the 13th, according to the latest chart of Melon, a domestic music site, brother and sister duo AkMU's 'How can I love the breakup, I love you?' ranked 27th on the daily chart. The figure is up seven notches from the previous day.

When you consider real-time chart trends, it is even more surprising. This is because the song, which had been charted out at 121st place on the morning of the 10th, succeeded in regressing with a steep rise after Han Kang's announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature. The song, which entered the 60s right after its release, ranked 48th on the 11th and 36th on the 12th.

It is believed that Han Kang said he was impressed by the song when he wrote the 2021 feature novel "I Don't Say Goodbye". At the time, Han Kang was on the YouTube Munhakdongne channel and took a taxi after writing the draft, and this song was playing"I heard "It's a song I know and it's a famous song, but the lyrics at the end came up with a completely different meaning, so I cried without realizing it."

He also mentioned the lyrics, "'How can I wait for you afterwards until the love as deep as our sea dries up?' The Han River is "Isn't it impossible for the sea to dry up?" As such an image came to mind, I remember crying in a taxi like a person with a story.

Singer HYNN (Park Hye-won) is also drawing attention. This is because I named my activity HYNN after reading Han Kang's novel. HYNN has revealed through various media that it took its stage name after reading Han Kang's novel 'White' before its debut and feeling a great resonance in the sentence 'I'll pass over only the white ones even if I get dirty'.

HYNN also posted a photo of the cover of Han Kang's novel 'White' on his account on the 10th, when Han Kang won the Nobel Prize for Literature. "I was very happy to hear the news of your Nobel Prize in Literature today," he wrote. "I am even more proud that I touched the world with my own eyes and insights with Korean works."



"Through that sentence, I came to make a commitment to perform music with a sincere pure heart no matter what kind of waves or wounds I had while living as an individual and a musician..." he confessed.

"After that, I thought he was a respectful writer who continued to read various works, including Han Kang's "The Vegetarian" and "The Boy Is Coming" to understand the times, deeply the world, and touch people's hearts."HyNN is a small singer who is influenced by the artist's work, but I will always learn the pure gaze and sincerity toward the artist's work and make music," he said once again.

A video of BTS (BTS) RM reading Han River novels in the past and leaving an appreciation is also drawing attention. RM read Han Kang's 'The Boy Is Coming' on a live broadcast and read it on a plane to Europe and read it in a hotel, but reading the book made me feel overwhelmed"I was impressed by his vivid writing."

On top of that, he shared the article to celebrate Han Kang's acceptance of the Nobel Prize in Literature. V, a member of the BTS, also wrote a congratulatory message for the news of Han River's award, saying he read Han River's 'Boy Is Coming' in the military.

Novelist Han Kang, who wrote works such as Vegetarian'The Boy Is Coming'Doesn't Say Goodbye', was selected as the winner in the announcement of the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature on the 10th, and wrote a new history of Korean literature. It is the second time that a Korean has received a Nobel Prize after President Kim Dae Jung of the Peace Prize in 2000. It is the first Asian woman and the first Korean to hold the Nobel Prize in literature.
