Sam Jok Oh illuminates lesser-known episodes by the mainstream intellectuals, and traditional folklore from the Horsemen culture for modern readers
Historical Precision
Completely different angle and perspective unthought of
Talking about accuracy in History is actually very difficult because the winners get to leave the record and destroy anything they wish. Also, there is a political Nationalistic gain so it can be used for anything by anyone, so seeing raw history is very hard.
I take both sides – Winner’s story and Loser’s story as well as passed down folklores, language, cultural clothing, color representation and etc to provide interpretations that you never heard of before
And ultimately, hope to arrive at an accurate understanding of what had happened so that we know where we are from to know where we are now to find out where we need to go next
