New, interesting, or unusual items learned

Han Kang is the second Nobel Prize winner in South Korea. The first winner is the 15th president Kim Dae Jung. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to reconcile with North Korea.

Han Kang is the first Asian woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Swedish Academy awarded her "for her intense poetic prose that confronts historical traumas and exposes the fragility of human life".

Han Kang won the Booker Prize in 2016 and the Prix Medicis in 2023. Despite winning several prestigious literary awards around the world, she was not nominated as a potent candidate for the Nobel Prize.

Question, concern, or discussion angle

Nobel Prizes, especially Peace Prizes and Literature Prizes, have been criticized for being politically biased. Why is that? Is it because Norway, not Sweden, decides the winner?

Korean writers such as Kim Young Ha, Hwang Sok Yong, and Yun Ko Eun are attracting global readers. Has Korean literature improved in quality, or is this just the achievement of individual writers?

In her Nobel Prize lecture, Han Kang presented these questions to the audience. Can the past help the present? Can the dead save the living?  What can we learn from history? What should we do not to repeat the tragedy?

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
