I'm sure you'll find that such lectures, when put on by the Corean government and not a university department or a private organisation, are usually highly informative, show a keen sensitivity towards foreigners' interests, treat guests as intelligent people who may already have a strong existing knowledge of the subject matter, and are free of self-glorification, exaggeration, and historical bias.
