과거사를 둘러싼 한국과 일본의 두 얼굴
The Negation of Damage as Sexual Slavery Victims, and the Truth of Learning In September 2019, I met with officials from the Matsushiro Memorial Center of Untold History(hereinafter referred to as the Matsushiro Memorial Center) in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. They are people who have been active for more than 20 to 30 years. Most of them are around 70 years old, but their will is constant. I still remember their faces, which welcomed Korean researchers. The Matsushiro Memorial Center is a place to preserve and educate the huge underground facilities that Japan built in preparation for the Allied landings at the end of World War II. Above all, it remembers the thousands of ‘Korean’ victims who were mobilized for underground facilities, and finds and organizes related data. And it does not neglect to study based on these. Even a name is unfamiliar to Korean citizens. Thank you so much for those who guard the place, and are committed to teaching the meaning of it, and the community that supports them. And I feel as ashamed and sad as that gratitude.

2021년 도쿄올림픽의 해에 한일관계를 전망한다
Korea-Japan relations are expected in the year of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics With the US regime change since the inauguration of the Suga regime in Japan, expectations for changes in Korea-Japan relations are growing. The two countries have not been able to hold summit as well as working-level meetings due to past history issues. However, in the commemorative address of the last March 1st, the possibility of dialogue between Korea and Japan was mentioned with the Tokyo Olympics to be held in July. NAHF met with Professor Yang Kee-ho of Sungkonghoe University, one of the experts in Korea-Japan relations, to check the current situation and listen to the remarks about the relationship between the two countries. We look forward to the Korea-Japan relationship in 2021 with Professor Yang Kee-ho.

일본 외교 전략가 오카자키 히사히코를 다시 생각한다
Japanese Diplomatic Strategist, Hisahiko Okazaki Hisahiko Okazaki was a typical elite diplomat in Japan. In the early 1960s, he became a foreign diplomat while attending the University of Tokyo Law Department, and later trained at Cambridge University and Harvard University. He also served as ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Thailand. After his retirement, he established a private research institute to analyze the international situation and proposed Japan's diplomatic strategy through his writing activities. However, among Koreans who are somewhat familiar with the Japanese trend, Hisahiko Okazaki seems to be known as a conservative critic or far-right person. In fact, Okazaki retired from the Foreign Ministry and joined a group that tried to reevaluate Japanese history after the Meiji Restoration. And he was a teacher to those who claimed Normal Country, including Professor Shinichi Kitaoka, and served as Abe's key diplomatic and security brain. Therefore, this evaluation is not so wrong.

근세 한일관계 사료집 Ⅳ 1764년 조선통신사 기록 『조선인내빙기 보력(朝鮮人來聘記 寶曆)』
History Sourcebook on the Relationship between Korea and Japan in Modern times IV Record of Joseon Tongsinsa in 1764 『The Record of Korean Envoy to Tokugawa Japan in Horeki 14 (朝鮮人來聘記 寶曆)』 『The Record of Korean Envoy to Tokugawa Japan in Horeki 14』 is a Japanese ancient document that recorded some of the schedules of the Joseon Tongsinsa in 1764. The title '寶曆' means 1764 is the Japanese year 'Horeki 14'. It is owned by the National Library of Korea and was originally classified as the old book of the Chosun Governor General, but the time of writing with the author is unclear. The Tongsinsa in 1764 consisted of Jo am, Lee In-bae and Kim Sang-ik, and the reason they visited Japan was to celebrate the inauguration of Tokugawa Ieharu as a Shogun. In May 1760, the 9th Shogun Tokugawa Ieshige announced his intention to resign from Shogun and moved to Ninomaru in Edo Castle. And in September of the same year, the Emperor sent a document stating that he would appoint Ieharu(Ieshige’s son) as a Shogun.

두 번째 이야기 중화민족의 기원, 염제
Second Story The Origin of Chinese People, YanDi According to Chinese academia, YanDi began Chinese civilization, Huangdi was the beginning of the Chinese emperor, Yao formed the core of Chinese civilization, and Yu built Xi. Institute on European History at NAHF tracked down the mythical figures above. This is because the process of re-creating them as historical figures in combination with ancient ruins is very interesting. The results of this study will be serialized five times. This will help you see what the relationship between China's patriotism and making ancient history is.

민간 사이버 외교사절단 반크 활동을 왜곡하는 일본의 극우 언론과 유튜버
The Private Cyber Diplomatic Corps Japan's far-right media and YouTubers distorting VANK*'s activities In June 2020, an article appeared on the main page of Yahoo Japan to introduce the activities of the cyber diplomatic corps VANK. The article focused on Japanese attention, with 1,132 comments in a day. But the story about VANK in the article was absurd. It was that 'VANK has over 100 researchers, receiving over 2 billion yen a year from the Korean government'. And VANK's representative is a ministerial-level figure appointed by the Korean government, and VANK's aim is to undermine Japan by lying to isolate Japan from the world. These attacks by Japanese media continue to expand.
