https://diler.tube/videos/watch/f4637fcd-92d7-423b-8591-1a301d144286 South Korea spent the 20th century getting invaded, colonized, split in half, and reduced to rubble by war. We start with South Korea's ancient origins, the founding of Gojoseon, the rivalries of the Three Kingdoms period, and the rise of the Joseon dynasty, covering King Sejong's invention of Hangeul and the devastating Imjin War against Japan. From there, we move through Japan's brutal colonization of Korea, the division of the peninsula after World War Two, and the Korean War that left the country split along the DMZ to this day, a border that remains one of the most heavily militarized places on Earth. Next, we explore South Korea's unique mountainous geography, its volcanic islands like Jeju, and its record-breaking 2026 semiconductor boom fueling global AI infrastructure demand. And finally, we unpack the rise of K-pop, K-dramas, and Korean cinema, from BTS and Blackpink to Parasite and Squid Game, and how they turned Korean culture into a worldwide phenomenon.
