This special exhibition was organized to reflect the heightened interest in literature following Han Kang's Nobel Literature Prize win last year, which brought great honor to South Korea. The exhibition includes a variety of content such as sections for predicting the winner in advance, revisiting previous laureates, and a sentence transcription event.

First, Yes24 is offering a '2025 Nobel Literature Prize Notification' service. By applying for notifications on the exhibition page, users can receive prompt updates regarding the winner on the morning of October 10, the day after the announcement. Every applicant will receive a 500-won YES gift certificate as a reward.

To commemorate the first anniversary of Han Kang's surprise Nobel Literature Prize win, which deeply moved readers last year, Yes24 will also reveal the 'Top 10 Han Kang Works Loved by Yes24 Readers.' Readers who recommend their favorite Han Kang work in the comments will be entered into a drawing, with 200 winners receiving 1,000 YES points each.

Additionally, the 'Today's Underline' event will unveil a famous quote from past Nobel Literature Prize laureates each day for the remaining 24 days leading up to this year's announcement. Among members who transcribe these quotes or download the sentence images, 300 will be selected to receive 1,000 YES points each.

Other activities include a 2025 Nobel Literature Prize winner prediction event, introductions to winning works by continent, and the offering of special merchandise to those who purchase works by Nobel laureates.

Jo Sunyoung, Head of the Book Business Division at Yes24, stated, "Interest in literature has continued since Han Kang's award, and we prepared this special exhibition and events to await the 2025 Nobel Literature Prize announcement with excitement alongside our readers. We hope this will be a time for everyone to predict this year's winner together, revisit past laureates, and reflect on the inspiration that world literature brings us."
