몽골 성소(聖所) 카라코룸, 수퍼파워, 그리고 고려
Mongolian Sanctum, Karakorum, Super Power, and Goryeo The world is getting closer through connections and networks in the 21st century. On August 2, 2022, when US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a surprise visit to Taiwan, the People's Liberation Army of China conducted military exercises 'enveloping' Taiwan. The United States deployed its carrier battle group to the Philippine Sea. On the next day, the Korean confectionery and fishery industries surged in the stock market. The US-China superpowers shook the geopolitics of the world and the Korean Peninsula. The 13th and 14th centuries were a period of great global transformation in Afro-Eurasia. More than 800 years ago, the superpower was not ‘China’ but the empire of warriors and horses called ‘Yeke Mongol Ulus,’ Great Mongolia. The Mongols propelled the Korean Peninsula into a new era. Its first epicenter was the tent palace (ordu) and the capital Karakorum (now Kharakhorin, Mongolia).

낭만, 은폐, 망각을 넘어: 일제강점기 한반도의 일본인들
Beyond Romance, Concealment, and Oblivion: Japanese in the Korean Peninsula during the Japanese Occupation ‘Aggressors’ After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government, trying to invade Joseon (Korea) under the pretext of revising the treaty, signed the Korea-Japan Treaty of 1876 in February 1876 by force. Shortly after that, the Busan Port Concession Treaty was signed, and Japan established Choryang Port in Busan as a settlement for the Japanese. As ports, such as Wonsan and Incheon, opened one after another, the Japanese gradually entered Joseon. Until 1905, when Joseon was reduced to Japan's ‘protectorate,’ these Japanese came to Joseon and carried out an “invasion of Korea from below,” whether it was a personal desire for quick succession or a national desire for imperialist aggression. In addition, they gradually formed a Japanese society (association of settlers, settlement corporation, etc.) centered on the open port and open market, their residences in Joseon, and actively expanded their influence. Furthermore, they played an active role as a ‘spearhead’ for Japan’s colonization of Joseon by helping the Japanese government that intended to make Joseon their colony entirely and serving as a guide in the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War. Through this process, the number of Japanese in Busan, only 54 at the time of the port opening, exceeded 30,000 by 1905. They began to change from being the bridgehead of the Joseon invasion to the ‘grassroots colonizers’ of Joseon rule.

연변 지역의 발해 유적
Balhae Remains in Yanbian Region The Yanbian region is today’s Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in Jilin, China. It has been the main stage for the Korean people since ancient times. It was where Balhae was founded, and Hyeonju and Donggyeong, among the capitals of Balhae, were all in Yanbian. It was the starting point and destination of exchanges between Balhae, Silla, and Japan. This is the reason why many Balhae ruins remain in the Yanbian region.

오키나와의 조선인 ‘위안부’ 피해자 배봉기
Bae Bong-ki, Korean ‘Comfort Woman’ Victim in Okinawa Coming out as ‘Comfort Woman’ to Remain in Okinawa Where She was Dragged To October 1975. Okinawa, Japan. The deportation of Bae Bong-ki was drawing near. It was November 1944 when she arrived in Okinawa without knowing where she was, so she had been living there for 31 years. Bae Bong-ki was born in Shinryewon, Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, in September 1914 and lived about 30 years in Joseon and 30 years in Okinawa. Instead, she survived the violence of colonial rule and war.

2022년 독도지킴이학교 독도 탐방기
Dokdo Keeper School Visiting Dokdo Island 2022 When the Northeast Asian History Foundation decided to send the guidance teacher for the 2022 Dokdo Keeper School to Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands, my heart fluttered, imagining the trip to the islands. I repeatedly searched how high the waves around Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands were and the weather until the departure date. When you take a boat, you should eat only half of what you usually would have in the morning before boarding, and you need music that you can immerse yourself in along with the motion sickness medicine when you are struggling with seasickness. It takes 3 hours and 40 minutes from Pohang to Ulleungdo Island, 1 hour 40 minutes from there to Dokdo Island, so more than 10 hours back and forth on a boat. You need to get familiar with the boat for a successful visit.
