Korean history

Joseon dynasty's story

Korean history encompasses the past of the Korean Peninsula, from ancient kingdoms like Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla through the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897) to the 20th-century Japanese occupation and eventual division into North and South Korea.

The term appears in academic contexts, cultural discussions, and increasingly in popular interest driven by Korean media.

I've been reading about Korean history since I got into K-dramas.
