PhD research

Supervisors: Prof. dr. Hilde De Weerdt and Prof. dr. Remco Breuker

My PhD dissertation sheds light on the social mobility of the chungin (middle people) group in Chosŏn Korea, with particular focus on official interpreters. I am delving into studies on the origin of the group, the genealogical and social networks of the chungin and the social life of the official interpreters in the late Chosŏn dynasty. My research is featured in using digital approaches such as SNA, GIS and text-mining. Digitalised sources like bangmok (榜目, Rosters of Imperial Examination) and Yŏnhaengnok (燕行錄, Chosŏn Traveuloges to Beijing) are mainly used as my primary sources. In this way, it does not only enables us to gain a complete picture of the social mobility of the middle-class people in the Chosŏn dynasty but also offers opportunities for new clues and findings in the field of East Asian studies by breaking through traditional approaches.
