The Korea Literature Translation Institute held an award ceremony for the winners of its annual translation competition at the Press Center in downtown Seoul yesterday.

The top prize for the 9th Korean Literature Translation Contest went to Vincenza D`Urso, who has chosen to translate Hwang Suk-yong`s novel "Mugi-ui geuneul" into Italian.

Second-place winners were Ahn Woo-sik, who submitted his Japanese translations of Shin Kyung-sook`s short stories, and Choe Ae-young who teamed up with Jean Bellemin-Noel on Chung Young-mun`s novel titled "Pour ne pas rater ma derniere seconde."

The KLTI also gave awards to 13 finalists who joined the 8th Korean Literature Translation Contest for New Translators. This year, 220 applicants worked on the translation of latest works by two leading Korean writers, Kim Youn-soo and Sung Seok-jae.

Aside from the translation contents, the state-run agency offers various translation education programs and grants to those engaged in the translation of Korean literature in foreign languages.

The ruling Grand National Party yesterday zeroed in on chief justice Lee Yong-hoon as it upped the ante in a dispute over controversial court rulings.
The conservative GNP called on the Supreme Court head to take responsibility for the controversy surrounding "slanted" rulings.

The party said it will officially demand he dissolve a private association of young, progressive-minded justices who are involved in the court decisions in question.

Lee struck back, telling reporters, "I will firmly safeguard the independence of judiciary."

Lee had kept silent in the face of one of the widest-reaching and fiercest political disputes to engulf the judicial institution. Lee was appointed by former President Roh Moo-hyun in September 2005 for a six-year term.

The GNP and conservatives blamed him for "leftist tendencies" among young justices and a series of "politically biased" rulings.
