ABOUT NORTH KOREAN REVIEW

Editor's greeting,

Welcome to North Korean Review Online, a digital extension of our print journal of the same name. Jointly edited by the Institute for North Korean Studies, University of Detroit Mercy and the Institute for North Korean Studies, Yonsei University and sponsored by the Asia Research Fund, our focus lies exclusively in North Korea and the complexities it encapsulates in the 21st Century.

It is our vision that by also having an online presence, we can include you, our dear readers, into the discussion on a variety of North Korean issues that are published both digitally and in print. We strive to provide high-quality, highly varied topics and reviews that can provoke a lively discourse both online and during our future conferences. We appreciate your patronage and look forward to your comments and contributions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Yongho Kim
NKR Editor in Chief
