AMERICAN HAGWON Sep 29, 2026. NYS Author Laureate 2025-2027. Pachinko. Free Food for Millionaires. National Book Award Finalist. Manhae Grand Prize.
We are delighted to reveal the cover of AMERICAN HAGWON by @lee_minjin, a breathtaking contemporary epic that follows one family as they reckon with personal dreams and familial duty 🍎
John and Helen Koh and their three children – Bo, DH and Mido – are building new lives in Korea when they find their worlds upended, first by a terrible betrayal and then by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Striving to regain their footing, the Kohs set out to do whatever it takes to provide for their children’s futures.
They leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in California, where new opportunities open for the Koh children, as the parents, strangers in a strange land, adjust to a difficult existence in which their qualifications mean little. Their way forward is lit by the faith that education will lead the next generation to the success and security that have eluded their parents.
The Kohs, their friends, relatives and even their foes move in and out of each other’s lives as they navigate love, work, fortune and fulfilment across the years. But with each new sacrifice and fresh horizon, larger questions begin to open up before them: what are we willing to give up to secure the happiness of the ones we love? What is the purpose of education? And what is truly important for a good life?
AMERICAN HAGWON is the most ambitious and extraordinary work yet by one of our greatest novelists, @lee_minjin.
Coming 29th September 🍎
‘A profoundly generous and humane novel … I was fully absorbed by the fates of the Koh family and, as the novel worked its cumulative magic, deeply moved by this masterful tale’ DOUGLAS STUART
‘A novel of extraordinary ambition. A world so rich and intricate that you forget you’re reading’ TARA WESTOVER
‘Beautifully crafted … Brings grand ambition, fierce heart and the tenderest hope toa novel I didn’t want to end’ ROXANE GAY

American Hagwon stole my soul and I’m really manifesting a K-Drama like Pachinko and trust me it would make an amazing script with all the twists and turns of life!
✅ I just tried to write down my thoughts while I was reading the book! I don’t remember when was the last time I set up an alarm at 4am, just to wake up and read on a workday!
✅ Those who know me already know how I never miss a single chance to rave about “Pachinko” and because of @lee_minjin got into Korean translated fiction in 2020 (the power of this single book holds)!
✅ American Hagwon is coming out in September 2026, make sure to keep the book on your TBR list for fall, you won’t be disappointed I promise.
