Introducing Korean Sci-Fi!

Introducing Korean Sci-Fi!   2021.03.08     Beginning of Sci-Fi in Korea   To pick the genre that the public has actively consumed in Korea for the past several years, it would be "Science Fiction."

The first Sci-Fi work recorded in history isserialized in the journal Taegukhakbo- a journal for Koreans studying in Japan, wh...
