In any Han Gang video interview, you can see a black-haired Korean woman with a soft, smooth voice, sincerely talking about herself. Born in 1970 in Gwangju, she moved to Seoul at the age of 10. There she graduated from the university with a course in Korean literature. In 1993, Literature and Society magazine published five Khan Gan poems, and the following year, The Crimson Anchor won a local literary competition. Since then, she has won several Korean awards, and in 2016 her first English-translated novel, The Vegetarian, received an International Booker.

In her work, you can often find a plot about the relationship between the artist and his muse: in the novel "Your Cold Hand" tells about the sculptor and his model, and in "Vegetarian" a third of the book is devoted to this topic. The plot of "Vegetarian" came to Han Gan after reading a poem by the Korean poet Lee Sang, in which he said: "I believe that people should be plants." Li lived in the first half of the 20th century, when Korea was colonized by Japan, and longed for freedom for his country. Han Gang could not get rid of the poet's words and decided to write a novel about a hero who literally wants to be a plant in order to avoid human violence.

These were photographic evidence of a student uprising brutally suppressed by the Korean government in 1980.

When the illness suddenly stopped tormenting the writer and The Vegetarian was finished, Han Gang realized that physical pain was just a reflection of mental pain. And she decided to immerse herself in herself, as a result of which a childhood memory of a terrible photo album, containing hundreds of deaths, surfaced. It was then, at the age of 12, that she felt the horror of what people are cruel creatures. And she asked questions, which eventually unconsciously penetrated into her work - "Why are people so cruel?" and "What needs to be done to counter violence?" The novel consists of three parts: "Vegetarian", "Mongolian Spot" and "Flame of Trees". Each is similar to an independent novel, but they are all connected by a story from different people about the same heroine - Yongha. In the first part of the novel, the girl becomes a tough vegetarian as a result of a nightmare seen in a dream.
