South Korea's history is full hardships, but their society has always been persistent!

Also, that clip of the cat closing the door killed me!

2:47 하나 지적해야 할 점은 조선은 양천제였습니다. 양인과 천민 두 계급으로 이루어진 사회였죠. 양반은 그저 관료일 뿐이고 3대째 양반이 되지 못하면 양반 자격을 잃어버리므로 귀족과는 차이가 있습니다. 영상에서 언급한 양반과 중인 상민 모두 양인이라는 한 계급 안에 있는 것입니다. 반면 노비는 천민에 속해있는 하나의 직업입니다. 천민에는 백정, 망나니, 중, 노비 등 여러 직업이 있었습니다. 이중 가장 천대되는 것은 노비가 아니라 백정이었습니다. 백정은 일반적으로 도축을 하는 사람들로 조선 사회에 정착하지 못한 사람을 의미했습니다. 또한 노비는 사유 재산을 소유할 권리가 있었고, 결혼할 권리가 있었으며, 심지어 휴가를 요청할 권리도 있었습니다. 또한 천민은 세금을 내지 않았기 때문에 많은 사람들이 자발적으로 노비가 되기도 했습니다. 때문에 조선 중기에 노비가 전체 인구의 40%를 찍기도 했지만 이들 노비를 서양의 농노에 비교하는건 잘못된 비유입니다. 그들은 조선 대부분의 시간에 농노보다 훨씬 풍요로운 삶을 보냈습니다. 가끔가서 '조선은 자국민을 노예로 부린 유일한 나라다'라는 주장을 하는 사람이 있어서 말이 좀 길어졌네요. 좋은 컨텐츠를 만들어주셔서 감사합니다.

Nice vid! I liked the concise summary of the war with North Korea, really the border change and monstrosities was pretty much all that occurred. Thanks for covering all these sad but important parts of history, I love your positive attitude in hoping each country has a better future! :)

5:48 I like how the squiggly border mimics the red/blue circle on the southern flag, nice detail

AMAZING THANK YOU this is genuinely the most well made short video on Korean history! thank you for taking time to learn the proper pronunciation too, much love from me

[theechorenegade]

Love your channel dude, I’ve been binging all the videos for countries I want to or have visited, awesome content

[marcdevries]

Respect for South Korea how they bounced back being such an massive country now

[TSNAnnotator]

One thing to point out is that while an armistice was signed in 1953, ending armed hostilities, the Korean War is technically still going. There have been some border skirmishes since 1953, but the war is a "frozen conflict" and North and South are still at war with each other

한국인인데 이런 게 한국인의 유튜브 알고리즘에 떠서 뜨자마자 한국인처럼 달려왔다.

earned a sub bud! well structured and correct info!

Good Video! One thing you forgot to mention is the People's Republic of Korea existing between 1945-1948. Hence the reason North Korea is called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea instead of People's Republic of Korea like their neighbor People's Republic of China. I don't blame you since basically all history channels overlook this and I myself only found it a few years ago on a random wikipedia article. Otherwise, Great Work!

This gun gonna have big channel soon. Amazing way to show history :)

[IBTU]

Just found your channel and it’s very interesting

The lord Tajeo forged in secret a master hat, to control all others. And into this hat, he poured his greatness, his army, and his will to dominate all three kingdoms.

One Hat to rule them all, One Hat to find them,
One Hat to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Koreans are great they have done so much a great culture
