Th exhibition is divided in 4 parts.

1. Introducing REAL Korea

In fact, there are many errors about Korea in books which is about world history.

For example, the sea between Korea and Japan is usually known to people all over the world as a ‘the sea of Japan’.

however, it can also called ‘the east sea’(of Korea) at least because it is not japanese land.

it is similar with ‘the Vltava River’(it is located in Czech, but it is sometimes called Moladu, German).

When the VANK members found the errors, they collected it and asked modification.

this is the collection.
