Throughout his life, he has published an extraordinary number of books that chronicle Korea’s political and cultural transformation. His works dissect the country’s complex journey through democratization, ideology, and media, offering a critical lens through which to understand the evolving identity of modern Korea.
This data visualization was born from both admiration and curiosity.
As I mapped the scope of his publications, I began to see more than just a list of titles — I saw a living timeline of Korea itself. Each point on the chart represents not only a book but also a moment in history: an era of protest, a cultural shift, a generation finding its voice.
In this project, I sought to translate his lifelong scholarship into a visual form —
a kind of storytelling that connects personal legacy with collective memory. What began as an archive of one scholar’s work became, in essence, a data-driven chronicle of Korea’s modern history, told through the lens of journalism, politics, and time.
