Storytelling with overwhelming immersion

Through the vivid descriptions of Kim Jae-wan, author of 'Strange Korean History,' and the use of a fictional diary format (such as the case of Lady Um), it delivers the fun and emotion of being right there on the scene.

Behind-the-scenes stories from outside the textbook

It maximizes intellectual curiosity by covering intriguing, lesser-known topics such as the curse of King Sejong's tomb, Jeong Yeo-rip's republicanism, and the theory of Kim Hong-do being a secret agent.

A Bridge Between History and the Present

It delivers practical messages by comparing 400-year-old sansong (grave lawsuits) with modern legal disputes or by connecting the noble spirit of cultural heritage donors to modern-day noblesse oblige.
