The winners of the Lee Sang Literary Award, one of the representative literature awards in Korea, refused this year. I can't accept a clause that would require me to transfer the copyright of the winner for three years.

The Lee Sang Literary Prize, which was established in 1977 and published in January every year, faced difficulties this year.

This is because some of the winners, including Kim Geum-hee, raised the issue of copyright transfer.

The contract called for the transfer of the winner's copyright for three years.

[Kim Geum Hee / Novelist: (Copyright) I raised a question that it would not make sense for me to transfer my rights for three years, but after saying that I would discuss it, I told him I could not help it because it was a rule that was followed.]

In the end, Kim rejected the award and other winners, Choi Eun-young and Lee Ki-ho, joined one after another.

As a matter of fact, the Literary Philosophy delayed the announcement of the winner, which was scheduled today (6), and told some media that it would remove the provision.

But we still have no discussion with the authors.

[Kim Geum Hee / Noveler: I never contacted you before. Now the only media I can read changes in the side of literary thought. I haven't contacted you.]

While the Literary Philosophy has not yet made its official position, the condition of the contract to secure profits by securing copyright is being accused of being 'argued'.
