🔥 Time to refresh your brain, tired from code and work!

Forget about obvious and boring history memorization. It's more fun than a thriller movie, and

The 'real' Korean history that provides inspiration for practical work unfolds.


1. 🎬 200% Immersion! Storytelling like a Netflix series

The incredible writing and delivery of Kim Jae-wan, author of the bestseller "Bizarre Korean History"! It boasts vivid descriptions that make you feel as if you are right there at the scene, rather than a simple listing of events.

With a storytelling style that draws you in without a single dull moment—such as a virtual diary format that feels like peeking into 'Lady Um's Secret Diary'—we invite you to historical moments.


2. 🤫 'Spicy' behind-the-scenes stories that textbooks will never tell you

The exciting boundary between "brain-ficial" (personal theories) and facts that you couldn't learn in school!

  • The chilling curse surrounding the tomb of King Sejong the Great

  • Jung Yeo-rip's republicanism, which was far too ahead of its time

  • Was the genius painter Kim Hong-do actually a spy? We will thrill your intellectual curiosity through hidden historical "rumors" that are not well known to the public.


3. 💡 Old stories? NO! Digging up 'modern insights' from the past

Did you know about the bloody graveyard lawsuits (Sansong) that took place in the Joseon Dynasty 400 years ago?

We compare this to modern-day complex legal and real estate disputes.

Additionally, through the noble stories of cultural heritage donors who dedicated their entire fortunes, we learn about modern-day 'noblesse oblige' and leadership.

Gain sharp insights that can be applied to our current lives and businesses, rather than just frozen history.


We highly recommend this to the following people!

  • Those who want to move away from rigid job-related studies and fill up on fun and informative general knowledge

  • Creators/planners who need interesting storytelling structures and content planning ideas

  • Those who need 'intellectual and interesting topics' to use in small talk or conversations
