The Powerful Figures of History Beyond the Frame, as Told in tvN's "Naked World History"


Nothing in this world just happens.
Everything is connected, whether we see it or not.
We call the accumulation of these events 'history.'
And events in history repeat themselves in similar ways.
Therefore, if we study world history more deeply, we can develop the ability to anticipate and prepare for what may happen in the future.

This book is a compilation of stories of people in power who shook the world, from the most talked-about educational program on tvN, “Naked World History.”
It contains not only the moment when a powerful person who left a great mark on world history was born, but also surprising facts that were previously unknown.
From the story of Henry VIII, a natural womanizer who married six times, even marrying his brother's wife for the first time, to Donald Trump, who went from a wealthy family scoundrel to becoming the President of the United States, and even Mohammed bin Salman, the world's richest man whose wealth is so vast that it's difficult to estimate, the story of money and power unfolds in a captivating, three-dimensional way.
In particular, due to time constraints, we have compiled in detail even the details that could not be shown on the broadcast, allowing you to see the decisive moments in world history that were changed by those who gained power.

History is a story full of spoilers and with a predetermined ending.
Yet, it is impossible to take your eyes off it because it can be interpreted from various perspectives.
《Naked World History: The Powerful》 delves into the fascinating history hidden between the figures who shook the world order and the events surrounding them, taking a fresh look.

Publisher's Review
There are plenty of spoilers and the ending is already decided, but
A captivating history of money and power unfolds!
A fascinating world history through the lens of those in power who changed the world.


Nothing in this world just happens.
Everything is connected, whether we see it or not.
We call the accumulation of these events 'history.'
However, the history we learn in class is centered around major events that are visible to the eye.
As a result, history came to be seen as something to be memorized and boring.
But if we add to this the hidden story that has been invisible to us until now but has caused the world to shake, history becomes an interesting and exciting event.
Rudyard Kipling, author of The Jungle Book, said, “History taught in the form of stories is never forgotten.”
