A new book titled 'Essential Ancient Korean History for Youth,' which presents authentic history, has been published.

Citizen Revolution Publishing prepared 'Essential Ancient Korean History for Youth' to allow people to reflect on our history in June, the month of honoring national heroes.

The author of this book is Chak Bo-go, president of the Goryeo History Restoration Society. This work is a collection of Korean history articles that the author serialized for three years in 'Compass 36.5,' a professional career and college guidance magazine subscribed to by over 1,200 high schools nationwide.

'Essential Ancient Korean History for Youth' is a book filled with a total of 36 articles on the Three Kingdoms and Goryeo periods that Chak Bo-go serialized over three years, compiled in response to readers' requests for a collection.

This book consists of 272 pages in full color, featuring maps and reference photographs. It is explained in an easy-to-understand manner to benefit not only teenagers but also adults. It is particularly evaluated as a book that can provide direction to those seeking the truth of ancient Korean history or wishing to take a realistic first step into our history.

Author Chak Bo-go stated, "The articles serialized in Compass 36.5, spanning 6 to 8 pages each month, pointed out the problems with existing interpretations of Korean historical boundaries created during the Japanese colonial period, focusing on enabling students to compare and verify them themselves, thereby cultivating the ability to think and judge independently. Ultimately, the results were that students developed the power to think and judge for themselves." He added, "We have been writing articles every month with a focus on establishing a strong national identity and boosting self-esteem."

Meanwhile, Compass 36.5 is a monthly magazine composed of many advisory committee members, serving as a reference for career teachers at schools nationwide. In 2025, it won the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Award for Excellent Magazines, and was selected as an Excellent Content Magazine for 2026 under the Korea Magazine Association. It is additionally being distributed to 650 locations, including public libraries, welfare centers, and overseas cultural institutes nationwide.
