The Research Room serves as the metaphorical “back room” of Sino-NK, visualizing the collective academic output of the organization’s members. Here readers are kept up-to-date with projects in progress and provided recaps of completed efforts. The Research Room also seeks to examine and reveal external analysis giving Sino-NK’s view of new conceptions, approaches, and methodologies. This section used to be called Yongusil, meaning “research room” in Korean.
