"충분한 타당성을 가진 '동해' 표기, 이제 국제적 인지도 확대에 더욱 힘써야"
Legitimacy of promoting the use of "East Sea" on the global stage The US and UK recently submitted letters to the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) to present their position that the body of water between Korea and Japan should be only referred to as the “Sea of Japan” in maps, instead of using both names (“East Sea” and “Sea of Japan”). As the US throws support behind Japan, the Korean government’s continued efforts to promote the use of “East Sea” face a significant stumbling block. Against this backdrop, the Foundation’s Research Fellow, Shim Jeongbo, had an interview with Professor Peter Raper, who served as the chairman of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) and is an expert on the naming of geographical features. _Editor’s note Shim Jeongbo: Summer in Korea is quite different from the weather in South Africa. How have you been doing in Seoul since May, and what was your first impression of Korea? Peter Raper: I did not experience any difficulties here. I cannot believe it has been several months alr

-세계적 보물을 빚은 피랍 조선 사기장을 찾아서- 임진왜란과 히라도 미카와치 사기장
-The Imjin Wars and Captive Korean Potters at Mikawachi, Hirado- In Search of Mikawachi Potters Who Produced World-Famous Porcelain It is widely known that a lot of Korean potters were abducted to Japan during the Imjin and Jeongyu Wars. In 2008, I accompanied Chairman Hwang Jeong Deuk (Society for Jinhae-Woongcheon Cultural Research) to a field trip to Kyushu, Japan, and learned that Mikawachi Porcelain is a very important part in the art history of modern Japanese and international porcelain. I also discovered that the potters were descendants of Korean potters who were abducted from Woongcheon, Korea to Japan by Hirado's lord, Matsuura Shigenobu, and the stories of these potters were very sad and moving.

"껍데기 역사는 가라, 새로운 '나'로 늠름한 역사를 말하라"
Stop playing the hypocrite about history As bettered myself telling the truth of gallant history There is a Chinese saying that goes like this: History is like a girl, because you can dress it as you like. Ross Terrill, a China expert at Harvard, quoted it in his book, The New Chinese Empire, criticizing a longstanding tradition of history distortion in China for the purpose of promoting national integration and unity. From this perspective, one historical fact can be interpreted in different ways according to different people, as the colors or designs of the girl's dress can be changed. For example, the marriage between Tibet's Songtsän Gampo and China's Princess Wencheng can be seen as Emperor Taizong of Tang's attempt to seek peaceful relations with Tibet, whose military power was stronger, by sending his niece. On the other hand, it can be considered that Tang China took the initiative and made Tibet's Songtsän Gampo as his son in law.

최초의 주러시아 공사 이범진의 삶과 활동 - 순국 100주년에 부쳐
Lee Beomjin – the first Korean ambassador to Russia Lee Beomjin, who was a key figure in Korea's diplomatic efforts toward Russia and played an important role in Korean royal refuge at the Russian legation (Agwan Pacheon), hanged himself at an apartment in Saint Petersburg on January 26, 1911. He left notes for Emperor Gojong, his elder son, Lee Gijong, and for Russian Emperor Nicholas II. The one for Emperor Gojong reads as follows: Dear Your Excellency, our country collapsed, and you are deprived of all powers. I feel so desperate for not being able to take revenge and punish our enemies. The only thing I can do is to commit suicide."

This year marks the 80th anniversary of 'Manchurian Incident'. Why did it take place and what is its meaning? -->QuestionThis year marks the 80th anniversary of ‘Manchurian Incident’. Why did it take place and what is its meaning?AnswerThe Manchurian Incident, also known as the “Liutiaohu Incident (柳條湖事變)” or “September 18 Incident”, refers to Japan’s occupation of the northeastern part of China (Manchuria) by force in September 1931. In the 19th century, conflicts between ethnic groups grew fiercer in Manchuria as neighboring tribes, including Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Russians, and Jews, moved to this region. From June to July 1931, the Nakamura Incident and the Wanbaoshan Incident (萬寶山事件) took place, and ethnic Chinese were ostracized in Joseon in the wake of the Wanbaoshan Incident. In August, Chinese attacked Japanese in Qingdao. A series of events aggravated the sentiments of Chinese and Japanese, and some Japanese soldiers argued that the use of forces was necessary to address problems in Manchuria and Mongolia.On September 18, 1931, Japanese Kwantung Army (關東軍) sent colonels to an ar
