Given the journal’s primary focus on East Asian cultures and discourses, this is not the first special issue devoted to Korean studies.

We hope it will resonate with the curious, reflective spirits of our readers, offering them fresh insights into the intrinsic relationship between the universal aspects of our common human experience and the culturally conditioned dimensions of our lives.
