<div dir="ltr">I guess this leads us to the question of whether the source of this news is credible. It took NK experts several months/years to figure out KJU's real age, marital status, and child's gender (or do we know it yet?). But it's that easy to find out the content of his gift? An NYT journalist once said that a lot of interesting news about NK tend to originate from Seoul, because reporters are expected to produce/write more news in the age of internet. </div>

Is it likely that the North Koreans would buy up multiple copies of a South Korean translation and distribute these to cadres favoured by Kim Jong Eun? Somebody might have noticed. I confess that I asked if they had Hegel in the Grand People's Study House but never thought to ask about Mein Kampf. (No, they did not seem to have Hegel.)<br>

Dear Michael,<br>
<br>
When you do a simple search on the Kyobo Mun'go website by using the following title "나의 투쟁", then you will be able to browse most of the translations of Mein Kampf in Korean. However, many of them are out of stock. In OCLC WorldCat, it seems that a couple of translations are available in North America: Hitler, A. (1989). Na ŭi t'ujaeng. Sŏul-si: Pŏmusa. & Hitler, A. (1988). Na ŭi t'ujaeng. Sŏul: Hongsin Munhwasa.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Hana<br>

Good evening,<br>
as far as naver, RISS and library websites offer, the first Korean translation of Mein Kampf was made bei Yi Jun-hwan in 1961. I guess before 1945 it may have been circulated in the Japanese translations that date back to the Thirties.<br>
Unfortunately, the history of reception of this "book" in East Asia remains thoroughly unclear.<br>
<br>
If someone knows research papers about the topic whatever the language I'd be happy to know about them. Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
