These claims came after the book won the Man Booker International Prize in 2016 and was gaining more attention both in Korea and in the international scene. The report said that a scholar stated that the readers of the English version had been “betrayed.” The report also cited another translator who said that the English version of the book was more an adaptation than a translation. The writer of the article, however, still wrote of admiration for the English version translated by Smith.
