In response, Kim Kyung-yul, a Korean civic activist and certified public accountant, said, "They don't even show Roman mythology or the Dangun myth.
On the 23rd, Accountant Kim shared an article on Feisbook titled, "10,000 people sign petition against placing vegetarians in libraries."
Accountant Kim reportedly drew a red line under the part of the article that said, "The story contains content in which the characters are involved in inappropriate relationships," and said, "I fully agree with the All-Japan Federation of Student Councils' claims."
He continued, "In addition, all books related to Greek mythology were burned, including those by Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides. The Dangun myth also evokes an inappropriate relationship between a bear and a tiger.
"The Bible also contains many inappropriate depictions," he said, sarcastically adding, "Literature, art, and philosophy should be banned on the sacred land of Korea."
On the other hand, the All Japan Federation of Student Self-Governments said, "The content of the book contains inappropriate content that may lead to inappropriate relationships for vegetarians.
"Parents are astonished at the attempt to place a book with such extreme and violent content in elementary, middle and high school libraries across the country simply because it is the work of a Nobel Prize-winning author," he said.
"Just as an adult film rated 19+ (not suitable for minors) would not be made available for viewing by minors even if it won an Academy Award, the book is not suitable for viewing by minors.
But there must be an age limit."
