}}Hyun Ki Young (Hangul: 현기영) is a South Korean author from Jeju, specializing in the modern history of Jeju island.[2]

Life

Hyun Ki-Young was born on Jeju Island in 1941 and graduated from Seoul National University. He has served as the Managing Director of the National Literary Writers Association (2000–1) and as the President of the Korean Arts & Culture Foundation (2003).[3] Hyun was also the director of the Committee for the Investigation of the April 3rd Jeju Uprising as well as the President of the Jeju Institute for the Investigation of Social Problems.[4]

Work

Hyun is an expert on the history of Jeju Island in the modern era, particularly the April Massacre of 1948 in which islanders were killed en masse by the Korean police in the latter's attempt to exterminate communist sympathizers. The event is the subject of much of his writing. Hyun began his writing career in 1975 with "Father" (Abeoji), published in The Dong-a Ilbo, and strove to depict the psychological trauma experienced by Jeju islanders.[2]

Hyun is best known in English for his story "Uncle Suni", which was released 2010 and panned for its poor translation.[5] The story has since been re-translated as "Sun-I Samch'on" in a bilingual (English and Korean) volume. The story was the first published writing in South Korea about the Jeju massacre, and shortly after is release, Hyun was arrested and tortured for three days by the South Korean authorities. The government claimed his arrest was due to his presence at an anti-government protest, but upon release he was warned against ever writing about the massacre again, which revealed the government's true motives behind his arrest.[6]

Recognition

Hyun is extremely well known in South Korea having won a number of literary prizes, including the 5th Sin Dong-yeop Prize For Literature in 1986, the Manhae Prize in 1990,[1] the Oh Yeong-su Literary Prize in 1994,[7] and the 1999 Hankook Ilbo Literature Prize.[4]
