It was more of a general comment/ wisecrack about the overall state of studies in premodern Korea (and not just literature either) in North America. We do seem to have a significant problem in the number of young scholars focusing on premodern Korea when compared to those working on the last century or so.</div><div><br></div><div>To the original question, a number of years ago I did offer an online class through Ewha that covered Korean literature from the premodern to modern periods. I am not sure if the course is still being taught though.</div><div><br></div><div>Best

I do not know who was at this small meeting at SNU, but the joke reminds me<br>of "the frog in the pond".
