Does Walden Korea focus only on the Jeju 4.3 Uprising?

Walden Korea studies Korea's unresolved modern history problems. At the center of it is the Jeju 4.3 uprising problem. Since the 4.3 uprising is a serious human rights issue that is little known outside of Jeju, we will focus on the 4.3 uprising and continue to study the issue in the future. At the same time, we will also deal with other issues of interest such as modern Korean history, Korea-U.S. relations, and Korean culture (the Korean Wave, Korean food, etc.).
