However, after thorough research on various types of publications, we have found out that Korea has and had been poorly described (for a very long time) in almost all of publications we have examined. Even the most recently published textbooks and guidebooks that describe Korea has wrongly covered facts on Korea and even offensively degraded Korea with no good reason.

We are not scholars but it came to mind that we should be able to provide accurate information on Korea to you with this homepage so that even if you might have already learned with inaccurate information from other sources, this homepage might be a chance to provide precise facts about Korea. As Professor Adam Grant has stated, ‘Self-Doubt Makes You Creative.’ Throwing a doubt on what you have already known or learned about Korea can lead you to a way where you can understand much more thoroughly about this country, people, society and culture.

Then, how could you use this web site for finding facts on Korea? You may see two main categories, “Errors in Publications” and “Error Types” on the top. For example, let’s say you are searching for an error about Kimchi and which book kimchi is stated poorly. Check out ‘Error Types → Food’ category to search for Kimchi, then you will be able to find out Kimchi description error in AP Human Geography here. Also, the same results will come out if you check out ‘Errors in Publications → AP textbooks.’

As you might have seen from the above link, the detailed page is shown as follows. On the top shows the cover page of a publication with errors in detail. Also, you are able to click on the original image of the wrong description on Korea. Underneath explains why the content is wrong. We also provide how the wrong description could be re-written within the context. The detailed page also specifies most of the publication information, including the Full title, Publisher, Author(if stated specifically), ISBN code, and page number. In case the erroneous content is unclear or controversial, a disclaimer is also provided. If you have any opinion regarding the detail, you may exchange your thoughts by adding a comment at the bottom.

We do understand that after reading the contents about Korea in a book for the first time, most of the contents will be accepted by you without any doubt, and it is not easy to get a grasp of any errors in the context. However, as you might have seen from the kimchi description error above, you may bump into anything that is far from the truth.

We wish you to make full use of this web site to learn more accurately about Korea. We also hope you to join our dreams of telling the world of Korea and correcting wrongly known facts about Korea. For more information about future.prkorea.com please check out About Us. Thank you.
