koreanlit1-7, Exercise 2: Hwang Sun-won

Model answer:

Dates and birthplace: 1915 to 2000; born under Japanese rule in what is now North Korea; debuted as a middle-school student in 1931.
Three works: "Cranes" (Hak, 1953): two childhood friends on opposite sides of the ideological divide rediscover their affection; Trees on a Slope (1960): a novel depicting three soldiers during the Korean War; "The Shower" (Sonagi): the pathos and beauty of love between two children.

Language: the article notes his refusal to write in Japanese, especially early in his career, linked to Yeom Sang-seop. It hedges this: the stance is described as "particularly early in his career", so it is presented as a feature of his early years, not his whole life.
