Inside the Book

Korea is a beautiful country. Not only the natural environment, but also the Korean people who live hard in the land are beautiful. Korea has a long history of 5,000 years and retains numerous cultural heritages left by their ancestors. Many of the heritages were burned or lost due to foreign invasion, but nevertheless, Kore란ans have lived steadfastly in keeping the culture and spirit.
Korea, a small peninsula in Northeast Asia, did not succumb to numerous foreign invasions and rose again. With the persistence, sincerity, and sacrifice of the people, Korea now proudly rises to the ranks of advanced countries.
This photo book contains beautiful landscapes, traditions, and people all over the land to properly convey the beauty of Korea. Although it does not cover all aspects of Korea, it would be satisfactory if this photo book could give readers a deeper understanding of Korea and Koreans.

한국은 아름다운 나라이며, 자연 환경뿐만 아니라 그 땅에서 열심히 살아가는 한국 사람들 또한 아름답다.
한국은 오천 년 긴 역사를 이어오며 선조들이 남긴 수많은 문화유산을 간직하고 있다. 외세의 침략으로 많은 유산들이 불타거나 유실되었지만 그럼에도 한국인들은 그 문화와 정신을 꿋꿋하게 지키며 살아왔다. 동북아시아의 작은 반도인 한국은 적지 않은 외세의 침략에도 굴복하지 않고 다시 일어났다. 한국은 한국인들의 끈기와 성실과 희생으로 이제는 당당하게 선진국의 반열에 올라섰다.
이 화보는 이런 한국의 아름다움을 제대로 전하기 위해 한국 곳곳의 아름다운 풍경과 전통, 그리고 사람들을 담았다. 한국의 모든 면면을 담지는 못했지만 독자들이 이 화보를 통해 한국과 한국인을 더 깊이 이해할 수 있게 되기를 바란다.
