Published on the 20th of last month, 『Korean History" (Huddling Books) is a book that looks back on our history and culture at a time when Professor Seo and experts in each field gather to capture the world and Korea is becoming a global central country.
As the world's attention is focused on the Republic of Korea, our precious cultural heritage is becoming more skillful, persistently distorted, and subject to exploitation. The reality is that things that we have taken for granted, including the Dokdo issue, kimchi, hanbok, and the name of the East Sea, are constantly being challenged.
When we need to know our history immediately and firmly protect it 'Korean history' responds to these demands of the times. The book, which was created by Professor Seo and 10 top experts in each field, is a masterpiece that deeply and clearly solves the key issues surrounding Korean history and culture. It does not just list the facts of the past, but illuminates the controversies that are still continuing in the present moment in three dimensions based on historical facts. In addition, as 'What is the historical truth?'How should we respond to historical distortions?', we think deeply about the questions that any Korean citizen would have at least once, and present practical answers and directions for our progress.
The biggest strength of this book is that Professor Seo, who has been at the forefront of Korean public relations for 30 years and has shown excellent communication capabilities with the public, is in charge of planning, and experts with the best expertise in each field participated in writing. Based on vast amounts of data and in-depth research, complex and sensitive historical and cultural issues were easily and clearly solved. In addition, it helps readers not only acquire information, but also understand the nature of each issue and think critically. A total of 10 topics were described based on detailed logic and objective facts, including solid evidence of Dokdo's sovereignty, the law of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, human rights approaches to forced mobilization and Japanese militaryJapanese Military Sexual Slavery issues, the importance of East Sea notation, historical distortion through the Northeast Project, and the identity of Korean culture in the world.
