The Rose of Sharon Blooms Again
The Rose of Sharon Blooms Again (Korean: 무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다, romanized: Mugunghwa Ggochi Pieossseubnida) is a popular South Korean novel by Kim Chin-myong published in 1993 which extolls pan-Korean nationalism. It was the number-one bestseller for several weeks in 1994, selling more than three million copies. Kong Seok-ha, author of the biography Nuclear Physicist Lee Hui-hao, alleged that his book had been plagiarized, but the Seoul court dismissed his claims in 1997.
