You can also download the original text of the Annals using South Korea's Public Data Portal ( https://www.data.go.kr/data/15053647/fileData.do ). I'm not sure if foreigners can access it, though

I did not understand a thing from that link. But clicking on 2 blue boxes allowed me to download 143 MB of "something" from europe.

These are the original historical texts of the Joseon Dynasty, from the Annals of King Taejo to the Annals of King Cheoljong

I came across an omen list in a book I looked at for genealogy, and it was quite interesting to search and try to figure out which comet or volcanic eruption an entry referred to. Usually it wasn't hard. Makes me think lesser events like lightning strikes and misshapen calves they recorded are also reasonably accurate.

The data comes from the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty. https://sillok.history.go.kr/intro/english.do I'm browsing it. Wow, there's so much detail, like: 己酉二月, 世宗講武于平康, 世祖射鹿, 七發皆貫其項。 기유년 2월에 세종이 평강(平康)에서 강무(講武)를 하였는데, 세조가 사슴을 쏜 7발(發)이 모두 그 목을 관통하였다. "In the second lunar month of the giyu year, King Sejong held a military drill (gangmu) at Pyeonggang. Sejo shot seven arrows at a deer, and all of them pierced…

Feel like there should be a K-drama about that deer lol.

Yes — see this YouTube Short: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/3lRLsFb_Ihs The actor from Squid Game, Lee Jung-jae, played King Sejo.
