A participant in a rally calling for the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol reads ''Human Acts (The Boy is Coming)'' by 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Han Kang while waiting for the event to begin in Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea, on December 11, 2024. ''Human Acts'' is a South Korean novel written by Han Kang. The novel draws upon the democratization uprising that occurs on May 18, 1980, in Gwangju, Korea. In the story, one boy's death serves as the catalyst for a multidimensional exploration of the Gwangju Uprising and the lives of the people in that city. (Photo by Chris Jung/NurPhoto)
