Jaehyuk Lee
Jaehyuk Lee鈥檚 research focuses on premodern Chinese literature, its reception in Korea, and its afterlives in modern media. He examines how literary texts, historical figures, and cultural symbols are reinterpreted across historical, cultural, and medial contexts, from premodern China to contemporary East Asia. His recent projects explore the enduring influence of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms tradition and the reconfiguration of historical memory through literature, popular culture, and digital media.
