Volume 5 of 『Mr. Yong's Korean History Comics』 published!
A noisy and exciting adventure for Mr. Yong and the history class as they travel through time!

With interest in Korean history on the rise, an educational comic book has been released that we can confidently recommend to children.
The content is rich and detailed, as it was created by Korean history experts, and the main characters jump directly into history and play active roles, so children can immerse themselves in the story with interest.
Supervisor: Professor Kwon Oh-young (Department of Korean History, Seoul National University)

These days, with Korean history education being emphasized starting from elementary school, parents of elementary school children are extremely concerned.
What book should I start studying Korean history with? Is it okay to read a comic book as an introduction to Korean history? Is the book written by a trustworthy expert? Will my child throw the book away because it is boring?
To solve these problems, Mr. Yong has stepped forward! The undisputed #1 elementary Korean history textbook! Following the completely revised edition of "Mr. Yong's Bustling Korean History," chosen by over a million readers, a Korean history educational comic book, "Mr. Yong's Comic Korean History," has been published.

『Mr. Yong's Korean History Comics』 is an exciting story in which the characters of 『Mr. Yong's Bustling Korean History』 travel back in time and participate in various historical events.
Children travel back in time on a magic timeline and meet historical figures such as King Gwanggaeto the Great, Queen Seondeok, and Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
And as we get involved in various incidents and resolve them, we naturally learn about our history in the process.
This is the perfect book for children who are not yet familiar with Korean text or who like comics and want to learn about Korean history in an interesting way.

Fully aligned with the latest elementary school social studies textbooks from 2016-2017!

In 2016, elementary school social studies textbooks were completely changed.
Therefore, it was difficult for previously published Korean history learning comics to sufficiently reflect the contents of the revised textbook.
However, the newly published 『Mr. Yong's Korean History in Comics』 faithfully reflects the contents and materials of the revised textbook.
The revised textbook actively reflects content and materials that were not included in previous textbooks, such as the development process of prehistoric humans, the Danyang Geumgul site, the lute-shaped bronze dagger with a handle and the historical significance contained in the Dangun myth, and explanations of pictures engraved on bronzeware with farming patterns.
In addition, it faithfully includes content and materials that are not found in elementary school textbooks but are important in the middle school curriculum, such as understanding history, the culture and customs of various countries such as Buyeo, Okjeo, Dongye, and Samhan, and Houmyeong pottery.

And to help you efficiently acquire this rich learning information, we have created various learning information corners.
The main content of the textbook is incorporated into the story so that it can be understood just by looking at the cartoon, and narration is provided.
Topics that require more detailed explanation are supplemented by creating an [Information Box] right next to them.
At the end of every episode, we have included [Textbook Key View] to help you recap the textbook content, and we have carefully written down the relevant textbook units to ensure consistency with the curriculum.
In addition, [History Classroom] also conveys stories outside of the textbook in an easy and fun way.

An exciting story unfolding as the main characters participate in historical events!

In 『Mr. Yong's Korean History Comics』, Mr. Yong's characters travel back in time on a magical timeline and explore every corner of our history from the Paleolithic Age to the modern era.
Existing Korean history learning comics often had the same time travel concept, but the main characters often only revolved around the characters and events.
However, the narrative development of "Mr. Yong's Korean History in Comics" is completely different! "Mr. Yong's Korean History in Comics" creates a new, independent episode for each chapter.
In this exciting, newly created story, the main characters become friends with real historical figures and even participate directly in historical events.
Jang Ha-da goes on a mammoth hunt with the Paleolithic people, and Heo Yeong-shim struggles to become the bride of King Suro of Gaya.
In this way, the interesting story and learning content experienced by the main characters are exquisitely combined, so young readers can enjoy reading the book from beginning to end, immersing themselves in it as if they were the main characters.

Written and edited by history experts!
.
When it comes to educational comics, especially books about our history for children, the importance of the author goes without saying.
However, most of the existing Korean history learning comics were written by comic story writers who did not major in Korean history.
But the writers of "Mr. Yong's Korean History in Comics" are different! The researchers at the Social Criticism and History Research Institute (hereafter, the Social Criticism and History Research Institute) are experts who have studied Korean history at university and taught it in schools for at least ten years.
In order to convey accurate historical facts to children, we studied not only textbooks but also primary sources such as the Samguk Sagi and the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty to verify the facts.
The manuscript written in this way was once again carefully reviewed by professors from authoritative universities.
With the participation of such a team of writers with expertise and popular writing skills, we were able to successfully kill two birds with one stone: an easy and fun story and solid learning content.

Vivid, high-quality illustrations that make you feel like you're at a historical site!

Comics have a greater visual impact on children than text alone.
One of the most difficult aspects of producing this Korean history educational cartoon at the SaPyung Research Institute was verifying the authenticity of the illustrations.
Researchers at the SaPyung Research Institute thoroughly researched the spaces and props depicted in the cartoon to ensure they were appropriate for the times.
When drawing armor, I put my heart and soul into not only looking at the differences between the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, and Joseon periods, but also looking into armor-related materials from Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Gaya within the Three Kingdoms period, so as not to miss even the subtle differences.
We tried to make the picture as historically accurate as possible, including the colors of the crowns and clothing of the ruling class of each country during the Three Kingdoms period, whether the jeogori of each era had left- or right-hand closures, and even the shape and color of the Chinese emperor's clothing.
