Now, let’s jump into the infinite world of books through the collaboration of books with various fields. Until the end of the 19th century, Joseon was a nation unknown to most of the world.

Few expected Lee to lose, and Lee Se-Dol was humble enough to say he might lose one out of five games. But a few days later, the internet was abuzz with news of Lee’s shock defeat by Alpha Go. That was the beginning. Lee Se-Dol managed to get one win after a string of losses. His overall score was 1-4.
