For a long time now, Korea has been trying to promote Korean literature to the whole world. Nevertheless, most Korean literary translations failed to be accepted in English. In recent years, however, the English version of Korean literature have begun to attract attention. In this trend, I compared the acceptance of works and their translation by Japanese writer Haruki Murakami with by Korean writers Park Kyung-Ri, Kim Young-Ha and Shin Kyung-Sook, and analyze the cause of the successful acceptance of Korean novelist Shin Kyung-Sook in the English-speaking world. Through this, I examine what strategies are needed for successful acceptance ofKorean literature in the West.
