First NAHF Ancient Korean History Symposium of 2017 -Reexamining Gojoseon's Dominion Through the Xiongnu and Donghu-
On March 22, 2017, the Northeast Asian History Foundation held its first forum on ancient Korean history for 2017 at the press conference room on the nineteenth floor of the Korea Press Center.
The Foundation has continued to host symposiums for the purpose of introducing various opinions on ancient Korean history. A total of four were held in 2016 under the themes "Wanggeomseong and the Han Commanderies," "Where is Paesu, the Border between Gojoseon and Han (漢)?" "Where is Manfanhan, the border between Gojoseon and Yan?" and "The Location of the Lelang Commandery." The Foundation also arranged a group of researchers and opinion leaders to take a field trip to the former Liaoxi province where a discussion was held onsite as well. Such activities have created opportunities to examine controversial issues surrounding the history of Gojoseon by studying its relations with Chinese dynasties such as Yan, Jin, and Han.
