Into the book
When the teacher gave the children homework to film and upload a YouTube video on the topic of history, they divided into groups of three or four.
But no one asked Na-kyung to do it together.
Of course, I didn't have any such expectations.
--- p.7
“Innovator’s Room?”
The words I saw on the classroom blackboard came to mind.
Then an unfamiliar voice was heard from behind.
“Do you like it here?”
When I looked back, a warm-looking woman was standing there with a bright smile.
--- p.12
“Is this really King Sejong?”
“Your Majesty, how embarrassing.”
The man with the kind smile stroked his beard.
“Oh, that’s ridiculous!”
While Na-kyung was so surprised that she didn't know what to do, comments started pouring into the chat window.
--- p.22
The era during which the king reigned was the early Joseon Dynasty, and the nation was taking root after going through many ups and downs. In order to firmly establish the nation, various systems had to be established and laws had to be enacted.
That's why we created the method and invented Hangul.
So that the systems and laws created by the government can be well established.
If it was an innovation carried out by a person, then it was an innovation.
--- p.47
“〈Baekunhwasang Chorok Buljoji Simche Yojeol〉, usually shortened to 〈Jikji〉 or 〈Jikji Simche Yojeol〉.
Some people call it the Jikjisimgyeong, but they are mistaken because it is not a Buddhist scripture.”
Na-kyung couldn't close her mouth after hearing Monk Myodeok's answer.
This is because I realized that they were the people who printed the Jikji Simche Yojeol that King Sejong had mentioned earlier.
--- p.67
New things are always an object of fear.
So when Buddhism was introduced to our country, it was subjected to tremendous oppression.
Metal type also had convenience, but it was ignored because it had not been tried.
To get away from that, the Jikjisimcheyojeol was printed with metal type.
--- p.79
“Yes, this is innovation.
“The power to change the world.”
“Didn’t the gunpowder you made change the world?”
As soon as he started talking about himself, Choi Mu-seon sat up straight.
“It’s embarrassing to say it myself, but I think I saved Goryeo.”
--- p.90
It was desperate.
Every time I heard news of Japanese pirates invading and of the Goryeo army failing to fight properly and being defeated, my heart would ache.
Then suddenly I remembered gunpowder.
I thought that if I shot stones and large arrows with gunpowder and destroyed the ships the Japanese pirates were on, I could stop their invasion.
--- p.108
“What on earth is this place?”
While Na-kyung was thinking about her answer, Yeon-am sat down with a thud.
And he looked around carefully, lightly stroking his beard with his hand.
“I heard there was something interesting called YouTube.
“What is this place?”
“Oh, so this is a place where you can take pictures of what’s inside the room with this machine and show them to other people.”
--- p.120
I have to give them a living.
That way, you can think differently.
When people are hungry, all they think about is how to fill their stomach.
To me, innovation is about broadening our thinking and creating good systems to prevent people from starving.
--- p.158
Suddenly, I found myself comparing myself to the innovators.
During that time, I was content to live in my own world, not getting close to my friends and isolating myself with books.
There was no discomfort, but there was no change either.
Maybe it's time for something to change.
I had a feeling that coming here today wasn't just a coincidence.
But no one asked Na-kyung to do it together.
Of course, I didn't have any such expectations.

Publisher's Review
Surprising in-depth interviews with historical innovators, held in an old Hanok studio!
Na-kyung, who likes to read books, is a loner.
The teacher gives homework to make a YouTube video on the topic of history, and Na-kyung, who is unable to pair up with her friends, heads to a history studio she found by chance to make a YouTube video alone.
Na-kyung, drawn into the strange atmosphere of the historical studio located in a Hanok, enters the 'innovator's room' chosen by the landlady.
While preparing to film a story from a history book I've been reading, information about a person is suddenly transmitted through my cell phone, and someone enters the room.
The first guest is King Sejong, a figure known to all Koreans.
Na-kyung, despite being confused and bewildered, calmly begins the interview by recalling the contents of a history book she had read.
The interview naturally turned to the topic of 'innovation'.
King Sejong stated that at the time, the country was taking root after going through many ups and downs in the early Joseon Dynasty, and that he created laws and Hangeul to firmly establish the nation. He also explained that this was largely due to the bloody purges of his father, King Taejo, who paved the way.
The second guests are the monks Seokchan, Daljam, and Myodeok, who created metal type during the Goryeo Dynasty.
Three monks, little known in history, say that "everything in life has a first time," and that they chose metal type to pioneer a new path, recognizing and acknowledging the limitations of woodblock printing, which was common at the time.
The third guest is General Choi Mu-seon, who overcame the difficult times of the late Goryeo Dynasty by making gunpowder.
Choi Mu-seon emphasizes that one must not hesitate to embrace new things, saying, “If the moment comes when one must change, one must not hesitate.” He adds that if he had not created gunpowder, if the government had not accepted gunpowder, and if the generals had not used gunpowder as a strange and unfamiliar weapon, the victory at Jinpo and Gwaneumpo would not have been possible.
The fourth guest is Park Ji-won, widely known for his travel diary, Yeolha Diary.
As a scholar, he said, “To me, innovation is eating.
Because you have to eat to survive in order to move forward.
To be precise, let's say it's the path to innovation."
After a surprise interview with four innovators from history, Na Kyung-eun reflects on her life and realizes that coming here wasn't a coincidence.
And then he realizes that he needs to change too.
I chose ‘innovation’ as the theme of this book.
Innovation always comes with fear.
Because it has to be different from yesterday.
Only when yesterday and today are different can tomorrow shine.
We have the comfort we enjoy today thanks to a handful of innovators who broke away from the familiar and went where others didn't.
I hope we remember yesterday's innovations for a better tomorrow.
