[Interview : Wu Jin-yeong‚ Head
The National Library of Korea

[Interview : Jaroslav Olsa‚ jr. Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Korea
Member of the Seoul Literary Society
] "With no knowledge of Korean‚ it is difficult to understand. But we had some small introduction to that. But it's very interesting to compare how the publishing industry looked like 50-60 years ago in Korea‚ in my country and others in the world. Such exhibitions are really giving different view of the country where I'm posted. It's very useful."
[Interview : Han Seong-rye‚ Poet and Translator
Member of the Seoul Literary Society
] "I think the Seoul Literary Society is very important‚ because its members will promote Korean literature once they return to their home countries. Also‚ foreigners often discover the merits and charms of Korean literature which native Koreans can't. So I believe the role of the Seoul Literary Society is vital in many ways."
[Reporter : Ahn So-yeong‚ Reporter
Arirang Today
] "Usually people are under the impression that literature and diplomacy don't go together. But the Seoul Literary Society has good aspects of diplomacy of Korea. But moreover‚ it has a passion for spreading the Korean literature to the rest of the world. We expect to see more of their roles in the future."
