《Mr. Yong's Korean History in Comics》 faithfully reflects the contents and materials of the revised textbook.
The revised textbook faithfully explains the cultural rule of Japan after the March 1st Movement with illustrations.
In addition, although not covered in the revised textbook, it also covers in detail the changes in daily life due to the introduction of Western civilization during the Japanese colonial period and the movement routes of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
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 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, exploring 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.

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.
The history class children participate in the March 1st Movement against the oppressive rule of the Japanese Empire, and go to Shanghai, China, where they meet Kim Gu and work as secret agents for the unified Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
We also meet Na Hye-seok, the 'new woman' and Korea's first female Western painter.
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 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 accuracy 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 era.
When drawing armor, I researched and drew in detail not only the differences between the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo, and Joseon periods, but also the differences between the armor of Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Gaya within the Three Kingdoms period.
Also, from the Korean Empire to the Japanese colonial period, the Taegeukgi was made and used in an irregular shape, and by referring to actual relics, different shapes of Taegeukgi were drawn depending on the period and situation.
In this way, we tried to make each and every picture as accurate as possible to historical facts.
