- The 18th episode of this historical series explains how the spirit of self-reporting and atonement from the Eight Laws of Gojoseon was carried through later laws to Article 52 of the current Criminal Act.
- The series explains that it was passed down through the Goguryeo Code, the Baekje Code, the Silla Code and the Gyeongguk Daejeon, and cites 2024 Supreme Court of Korea statistics showing that self-reporting led to reduced sentences in 12.3% of criminal cases.
- The next episode, 19, is 'Gojoseon as Revealed by Archaeology - 21st-Century Excavation Results', and it notes that readers can view a facsimile edition of the Gyeongguk Daejeon at the Supreme Court of Korea Library.
