2022 동북아역사재단 연례 국제학술대회 개최 “향후 국제학술 교류의 방향을 생각하며”
2022 Northeast Asian History Foundation Annual International Conference “About the Future Direction for International Academic Exchange” A Stop to Long Depression The Northeast Asian History Foundation held the 2022 NAHF Annual Conference privately on “Culture and War in East Asia” over two days from Thursday, August 11 to Friday, August 12. COVID-19 has greatly restricted communication with researchers overseas. It seems that the period has persisted so long that the daily life influenced by COVID-19 has become 'normal.' The foundation has prepared to hold an international academic conference since last year in anticipation of the end of COVID-19. The COVID-19 situation has eased, but there were still difficulties in holding in-person meetings. Despite many hardships, this annual international conference became a new opportunity to exchange with foreign researchers who participated face-to-face and non-face-to-face. We sincerely hope that all scholars can directly attend the conference and interact in person from next year.

임진왜란 연구의 새로운 지평
New Perspective in the Study of Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592 I met Professor Peter A. Lorge of Vanderbilt University, who chaired the panel on the Japanese Invasions of Korea titled 'The Imjin War: Manpower, Weapon, and Logistics in Early Modern East Asia Revisited' to hear his advice on the international academic trends and the direction for studies on the Japanese Invasions of Korea in 1592. However, the interview was conducted online because the professor's visit to Korea was canceled as he was diagnosed with COVID-19. (August 11, 2022)

'수탈'과 '발전' 넘어서기_ 일제강점기 조선 공업화의 실상
Overcoming ‘Exploitation’ and ‘Development’_ The Reality Behind the Industrialization of Korea during the Japanese Colonial Period Getting Over with Slogans and Prejudices I made a promise to myself that I swore to keep when I was writing this book. It was to step away from selfish and paranoid research, such as development theory and exploitation theory, and pursue research that reveals universal exploitation without using the words like exploitation or expropriation and research that reveals market-destructive consequences even based on the market theory, as Professor Heo Su-Yeol always points out. This book intended to reveal the economic fault and the destruction of the market economy by objective standards, even without introducing the spectrum of slogans and ideologies.

한국과 중국은 왜, 문화로 충돌할까? 문화소유권 논쟁, 그 이면에 숨겨진 진짜 이야기
Why do China and Korea Clash over Culture? Debate on Cultural Ownership, the Real Story Behind Why Does China Claim Their Cultural Ownership Only for Korean Culture? At the end of 2021, South Korea was enraged at the Chinese news that “Chinese paochai has become the international standard for kimchi.” Starting with this, various cultural issues emerged as factors for conflicts between Korea and China. In particular, issues related to Korean identities, such as kimchi and hanbok, received more attention. The controversy lies in China’s claim that "Korean traditional culture, including kimchi and hanbok, originated from China, and therefore they are Chinese." However, it raises one question. Why does China not make the same claim to other countries such as Mongolia, Vietnam, and Japan? Since these countries have had lengthy exchanges with China, it is natural that they would be influenced by Chinese culture. Could there be some other reasons for claiming cultural ownership only against Korea?

한인의 만주 이주와 독립운동 기지 개척
Korean People’s Migration to Manchuria and Pioneering of the Base for Independence Movement Eye to the West Gando and North Gando Regions of Northeast China during National Crisis The independence movement of the Korean people that developed in the northeastern region of China (Manchuria) in the first half of the 20th century did not stop in the past. It still has important implications regarding current issues in the region. Let us briefly introduce the migration of Koreans, a movement to pioneer a base for the independence movement, and what it means.

우리말로 공연해요, 고려극장
Performing in Our Language, Goryeo Theater Goryeo Theater in Almaty, Kazakhstan I learned about the Goryeo Theater through the Korean newspaper titled 『Lenin Gichi』, published by Koreans from May 1938 after the forced migration in 1937. According to the 『Lenin Gichi』, the Goryeo Theater toured the collective farms of Koreans who were forced to move to Central Asia from the Maritime Province of Russia. They had no stage. They performed on the truck’s cargo bed as a makeshift stage. That is how they shared the pain, sorrow, and resentment of the Goryeo (Korean) people. I wanted to see it for myself. Would the Goryeo Theater still be there? Would they still perform? In the winter of 2014, I went to Almaty and visited the Goryeo Theater. It was still there, although it was on the outskirts of Almaty, and they still performed. In July 2022, I revisited the Goryeo Theater. They moved to a lovely building in the city center of Almaty, where they still performed. They also had a sign that said ‘Kazakhstan National Academy Goryeo Theater.’
