2025 Spring Club : Literature Club

Let’s Explore Korea Through Korean Literature

🎬 Literature Club Session Registration (Click!)

In the Spring 2025 Luxembourg King Sejong Institute Literature Club, we will explore four Korean literary works to gain a deeper understanding of Korean society, culture, and language through engaging discussions and in-depth analyses. This book club is designed for learners of Korean who wish to enhance their Korean language skills while gaining insight into Korean literature, society, and culture. However, people who don't have any knowledge of the Korean language can participate and engage in discussions which will be done in English or French.

Participants will read Korean novels using their preferred translated versions and engage in discussions to share diverse perspectives and interpretations.
