[노벨상 시상식]
The awards ceremony was held like a classical performance.
Mozart march at the entrance of the winners
Novelist Han Kang (54) received special hospitality and a ‘gift’ at the Stockholm Concert Hall in Sweden, where the ‘2024 Nobel Prize Ceremony’ was held on the 10th. He received the Nobel Prize in Literature medal and diploma (pictured) directly from King Carl Gustaf XVI of Sweden.
The gold medal that Han Kang received has the face of Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) engraved on the back, and Han Kang’s name is engraved on the back. All Nobel Prize winners receive a certificate, but the Literature Prize is special compared to other certificates. This is as it is indeed made of ‘parchment’,which is made by spreading sheep skin and treating it with chemicals.
In this year’s literature award certificate, ‘SVENSKA AKADEMIEN’ and the English name of Han River under Nobel’s name were engraved in gold in a special font. Sometimes, illustrations reflecting the characteristics of the award recipient are included, but Han Kang’s certificate did not include separate illustrations. The certificate of Norwegian writer Jon Fosse,who won the literature prize last year,was also in a format without illustrations. The Nobel Prize prize money fluctuates slightly depending on the profits of the fund operated by the nobel Foundation, and this year it is said to be 11 million kronor (about 1.4 billion won).
The awards ceremony, which lasted about 1 hour and 10 minutes that day, felt like watching a well-prepared classical performance. Mozart’s march rang out as the winners, including Han Kang, entered, and music played between awards presentations.
