Slow Night Ancient Tales

Welcome to Slow Night, Ancient Tales.
Tonight's story [Part One] follows the Gichuk Purge of the Joseon Dynasty — a political scandal that began under King Seonjo and set off a nearly three-hundred-year dispute over the legacy of the minister Jeong Cheol, one that rose and fell with every change of political power. A quiet, reflective retelling of one of Korean history's longest-running feuds.

A quiet, reflective retelling of one of Korea's most dramatic historical figures.
🌙 Perfect for:
- Fans of Korean history and the Later Three Kingdoms period
- Anyone who enjoys calm, narrated history for falling asleep
