I am a member of VANK (Voluntary Agency Network of Korea) from Korea. VANK is a non-governmental organization
and also a voluntary organization. All of VANK's members,
ranging from elementary school first graders to housewives are participating in voluntary activities that are providing
correct information about Korea to international
textbook publishers and game developing companies .

Korea has 5,000 years history, well-matched
cultural heritage and has accomplished high-speed economic
growth, but these facts have not been introduced well
yet in textbooks and some games all over the world.
Especially, Korea¡¯s developed image was introduced
to the world through mass communications, hosting the
1988 Seoul Olympic Games, 2002 FIFA Korea/Japan World
Cup very successfully but Korean information introduced
in games are still insufficient or
incorrect.

First of all, most Korean information
in games has been delivered to the
world through Japan or China not directly from Korea.
Good examples are describing the ¡®East Sea¡¯ as the
¡®Sea of Japan¡¯, 5,000
years of Korean history as 2,000 years history and describing
Korea as the vassal state of China and Japan.

These inaccuracies regarding Korea in
games were reflected from the contents
in Japanese textbooks without any verification, which
were delivered to the world by Japanese scholars after
Japanese colonial rule of Korea from 1910 to 1945.
