Kim Seon-ju: Korea Today

Based on research on how Korea has been understood in textbooks abroad, Korean Central Research Institutes for the Cultural Interchange of Koreans have planned and edited. Westerners who visited Korea since opening saw Korea as a'silent country of morning' or 'the kingdom of the sculloon', and these images no longer reflect the realities of South Korea, which has been undergoing a dynamic change since modern times. The book, with its geography and character, population and language, history, constitution and government, economy and industry, social development, international relations, religious and social life, art and popular culture, sports, and so forth, has shown the course of modern Korean society through past and present history and culture, and thus has wanted to renew its understanding of Korean society completely. Considering the role and status of Korea in East Asia and elsewhere, the book will be a great guide for foreign researchers and students interested in Korean society.
