Since its first publication in April 1970, Samtoh has been specializing in magazines and mini series issues on a great variety of subjects. Reaching out to young generations through its businesses, Samtoh continues to help them develop a sense of responsibility and an altruistic way of thinking. The core of its philosophy has been encouraging the young to meet challenges of the ever evolving culture and understand values stemming from undertaking lives in togetherness with others, thereby enabling themselves to sympathize with the events and emotions arising from within the peripheries of their livelihood and assist their neighbors in times of difficulty. Samtoh's intention is to contribute to laying a solid basis in the linguistic culture, whereby the Korean language is used in a most precise and artistic fashion in its publications, against varying elements within society that are to the detriment of the beauty and integrity of the language.
