My respect to someone/anyone who wants to pursue a subject matter that probably won't translate into a good prospect in a job market and career. As in any country, liberal arts in general and history more specifically is not something you do for future prospect. You probably knew it or was drilled into you by people around you who walked the path before you. Koreans tend to give more credence to foreigners of Korean subjects than to their own people. I guess it's deeply rooted in their built in suspicion and/or in their DNA to look down upon their own. Anyhow, if you can persevere as a Korean history expert, get your doctorate, etc., you will stand a better chance than your Korean counterpart getting academic tenure not only in foreign universities but Korean as well. Yes it will take decades but the fruits at the top is golden and not many have access to it so it could be all yours. Good luck in your endeavor.
Absolutely fascinating perspective! The idea that history is like a giant puzzle, with each piece offering new insights, really makes you think about how interconnected everything is. Great work!
Your attempt at unpacking Korean history is commendable but be careful. Much of Korean history is still on shaky ground due to their constantly disrupted past, ex. japanese occupation and attempt at genocide. I find even Koreans themselves don't really know and understand their own history, some don't really care. Much of this comes from the fact that the japanese instilled such ideas of having shame for their past with manipulated truths in order to reframe and glorify their own history. A lot of that damage is still lingering in the minds of contemporary Koreans. And now with China's rise in power in the East and their partnering with Russia, North Korea, their influence has been slowly infiltrating the social fabric, politics of South Korea; it's china's turn. I have noticed that the Korean "Left" are the most influenced by this and have been actively trying to rewrite South Korean history. So scrutinize whom you come in contact with and what you are being fed, what version of the truth you are made to think is the truth. As a Canadian, you should know that the same freedom of speech does not exist in South Korea despite it being a "democratic" society. The recent "martial law" ought to have told you that that was a "necessary" means in order for a pro-democracy/US president to initiate a stop on what will increasingly become a major problem for South Korea's future freedom. Instead, he is being vilified. Due to its geography, this tiny nation will always have to be that piece that holds world peace. Much of the West focuses on the peace of the middle east but that's only because of the oil. If South Korea does not sustain its hold on true democracy, and for obvious reasons, is taken over by the tri-alliance, that will be the end of Asia and thereafter world peace. You are in south Korea at a very important time. Keep your mind and eyes open; seek truth. It might be that niche in the corner of the world you did not expect to be important in. In order for you to fully accomplish your goals, you must also learn the Korean language. It will access you to a slew of information you were not privy to. What is you read in English (media etc.) has already been influenced.

역사학이나 인문계 학문들에 열정이 있으면 경제적인 문제로 타협의 순간이 오게 마련이라 여깁니다. 그 순수한 꿈과 열정 때문에 다시 불확실성 속으로 들어오셨군요. 행운을 바랍니다.

꽤나 절망적인 사실은 우리가 한국사 시간에 배우는 역사도 꽤나 왜곡되었다는 사실이죠
