Interview Introduction

Read verbatim at the start of each session:

“Thank you for participating. I’m working on designing a digital platform that presents the work and legacy of a modern Korean artist whose career was shaped by historical events such as war and national division. The goal is to understand how people engage with historical art content online and what helps or hinders understanding.

There are no right or wrong answers — I’m interested in your thoughts, reactions, and expectations when encountering this type of material.”
