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

《Mr. Yong's Korean History in Comics》 faithfully reflects the contents and materials of the revised textbook.
Not only does it fully reflect the major modern history topics newly included in the revised textbooks (conflicts surrounding trusteeship, student soldiers, and the Republic of Korea in the world), it also faithfully captures the socio-cultural changes of the 1990s and 2000s that were not covered in the revised textbooks.
The last chapter vividly conveys recent information by covering the candlelight vigils.
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 each episode, we have included a key overview of the textbook to help you recap the content, and we have carefully written down the relevant textbook chapters to ensure consistency with the curriculum.
In addition, Mr. Yong's history classroom also conveys stories outside of the textbook in an easy and fun way.

● An exciting story that unfolds 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, exploring every corner of our history from the Paleolithic Age to the modern era.
Even though existing Korean history learning comics share the same time travel concept, the main characters often only revolve around the characters and events.

But the storytelling style 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.
History class students learn about the horrors of war during the Korean War.
And we learn by experiencing the democratization process of South Korea, from the April 19 Revolution, the May 18 Democratization Movement, and the June Democracy Movement.
Not only that, you experience the long hair and miniskirts of the 1970s, but also the pop culture of the 1990s.
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 universities and taught it in schools for at least ten years.
In order to convey accurate historical facts to children, we worked hard to verify the facts by studying not only textbooks, but also primary sources such as the Samguk Sagi, Goryeosa, Joseon Dynasty Annals, and newspapers and magazines published at the time.
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.
Weapons such as rifles and tanks mobilized in the war were depicted with the utmost accuracy to those used at the time.
The Taegeukgi before 1948 featured the most commonly used shape at the time.
Additionally, major political events such as the June Democracy Movement in 1987 and the 2000 North-South Summit were depicted as realistically as possible.
