This transformation was actively supported by population policies that promoted not only a change in behavior but also in values and cultural perceptions on childrearing and family size, mobilizing all sorts of communication media for that purpose. Families with multiple children were associated with negative connotations such as backwardness, poverty, unhappiness, and lack of education or parental responsibility, making of it an abnormal, and later on invisible, reality. Since the mid-2000s however, following the rising concern of government officials for the decreasing fertility rates and coinciding with the enactment of childbirth encouragement policies, there has been an increasing visibility of multichild families (two or more children) in local media and popular culture. This paper examines the multi-child family representations involved in these reactions to population policy by identifying patterns of representation and critically analyzing their cultural meaning. Specifically, it focuses on how these representations confirm, contradict, contrast, or interact in complex ways with existing discourses on family and parenting and with new policies.","PeriodicalId":43382,"journal":{"name":"Korean Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"227 - 258"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85133890","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evading the watchful eye of Chun Doo Hwan's military regime, the group clandestinely recorded \"March for the Beloved\" (Nim I wihan haengjin'gok), a song written to honor the \"marriage-in-death\" of two late activists Pak Ki-sun and Yun Sang-wŏn. Born in a city that witnessed a brutal massacre be transformed into the most consequential civilian uprising of the authoritarian period, the song moved vastly beyond its original intent of commemorating the union of Pak and Yun. Over the following decades, the song emerged as a central piece in South Korea's repertoire of resistance, resurfacing during some of the most politically contentious events in Korea and throughout Asia. As this article aims to demonstrate, \"March for the Beloved\" was instrumental in transforming the victims of state violence into martyrs and the subalterns of an unlawful state into political subjects of a morally righteous counter-state. In turn, this transformation enabled minjung [the (oppressed) people] to emerge as the most privileged category of collective resistance and persist as such through the 1980s. This article examines the cultural practices of resistance and the minjung traditions that gave birth to the song, analyzing the performative and affective dimensions that turned the song into an anthem of the counter-state. In conclusion, the article reflects upon the bizarre twists and turns of the song's afterlives as an occasion to think about the meaning of Kwangju and the perpetual struggle over its signification in contemporary South Korea.","PeriodicalId":43382,"journal":{"name":"Korean Studies","volume":"61 1","pages":"135 - 166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90625329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the prominent scholar Richard Neustadt claims that \"presidential power is no more than the power to persuade,\" in South Korea, it has become far greater through the country's peculiar blend of history and culture. The Korean War and the influence of the Cold War, the prevalent authoritarianism, security threats from North Korea and the Confucian tradition, have all contributed strongly to the emergence of a strong presidency. From its first days in 1948 and the successive authoritarian regimes to the democratic days of 1987, South Korea's political system has fostered the power of its president. But if power relies on each president's individual will and capacity, their personal ability is still firmly embedded in the state's historical and cultural context. Thus, every president since 1948 has exercized substantial power in most state affairs, much greater than Neustadt would concede. In the past, the South Koreans' long-term experience of authoritarianism persuaded them to leave their destiny in the president's controlling hands. Hence, even though the country modelled its presidential system on that of the United States, the actual power of its president is much greater than that of the American president and from the outset South Korea developed a presidential system all of its own.","PeriodicalId":43382,"journal":{"name":"Korean Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534624","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This trend was considered a strange phenomenon to reform-minded Korean intellectuals, since chokpo was seen as a symbol of past morality—a product of obsolete familism that contributed to Chosŏn Korea's collapse. Korea's familism, symbolized by chokpo, was hence recognized as an obstacle to the formation of nationhood necessary for rebuilding Korea: familism precluded the creation of a \"one nation\" identity. Despite the criticism, the Korean people's desire for chokpo did not abate but was strengthened by publishing companies and their brokers. The most fundamental reason for the increase in the desire for chokpo was the family system implemented by the Japanese colonial authority. The patrilineal succession of the household and the surname system, universally enforced to all Koreans under the colonial family system, were similar to the traditional family culture of upper class yangban. The colonial family system thus gave rise to the spread and enjoyment of yangban culture, which, in turn, resulted in the chokpo publishing surge. Eventually, the family system established by the Japanese colonial authority led to the universal acceptance of the patrilineal system by all Koreans. This acceptance strengthened the cultural identity of Koreans based on patrilineage, which served as the foundation of Korea's cultural nationalism","PeriodicalId":43382,"journal":{"name":"Korean Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138534630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What may have been traditionally engaged by only music and performance studies specialists is now open to scholars from outside the music disciplines. In this expanding subfield of Korean studies, it is important to keep in mind that intentionally tuning into the sonic and sensory experience of musical performance can only further enrich analyses. This sonic engagement does not require a musicologist's ear, but rather invites a consideration of the politics of sound.This article amplifies a 1963 recording that featured a collaboration between the American entertainer Burl Ives and the World Vision Korean Orphan Choir. On the first listen, the folksy balladeer most known for his mellifluous voice may seem an odd musical partner for 34 children from postwar South Korea. In this article I explore this unusual partnership and present some background context on World Vision—the faith based humanitarian organization founded by evangelical minister Bob Pierce in 1950. Drawing on archival research and oral history interviews, I attempt to unravel some of the threads of a larger story that involves Cold War politics, US/South Korea relations, evangelical Christianity, and transnational adoption. Through a close musical analysis of the 1963 recording, I argue that the performances of religiosity by the Korean Orphan Choir orchestrated some of the key affective themes that were mobilized to garner support for World Vision's child sponsorship program, which began in South Korea.","PeriodicalId":43382,"journal":{"name":"Korean Studies","volume":"33 1","pages":"43 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75217752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
