By examining texts, critiques, production practices, and writers, I interrogate how the anti-Communism propaganda mandate was negotiated in radio drama, influenced not only by the South Korean government and the field of radio production but also by the U.S. cultural Cold War programs and Americanization. As the result of historical contingencies within radio- drama production, the propaganda mission of national broadcasting morphed into “vulgar” melodrama, focused on romantic triangles and urban lifestyles.

  • 22. TEA and TOBACCO O Jong-Rok in Korea, There Is a Special Word For
    22. TEA AND TOBACCO O Jong-rok In Korea, there is a special word for products, such as alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee, that have little or no nutritional value but are consumed prin- cipally for pleasure – gihopum. Unlike sweets or seasonings, the pleasure comes from the presence of a depressant such as alcohol or a stimulant such as nicotine or caffeine. In modern societies, these products remain popular despite concerns about the health and social problems they can cause when consumed to excess. South Koreans are known for their relatively high consumption of alcohol (see the previous chapter) and cigarettes. South Korea ranked twenty-first in the world in cigarette con- sumption with 1,733 cigarettes per adult per year in 2007, higher than the United States (#39) and the United Kingdom (#65) but lower than Japan (#12). Coffee consumption has been increasing steadily in the South since the 1970s. It ranks fifty-seventh in the world, behind the United Kingdom (#47), Japan (#41), and the United States (#27). Starbucks entered South Korea in 1999, and now there are hundreds of stores in cities throughout the country. In fact, at one point, the largest Starbucks coffeehouse in the world was located in Seoul. Koreans have drunk alcohol since ancient times, and tobacco was introduced in the Joseon period. But coffee was not introduced to Korea until the late nineteenth century; similar to other Asian countries, they drank tea. This chapter examines two of the main gihopum of the Joseon period, tea and tobacco, and the relation of tobacco to the social status system.

General Information: 1. ATO Director Comment As you will see from several articles coffee continues to be one of the favorites among ‘brewed’ beverages in South Korea, particularly for cafes and also restaurants. Korea’s Makgeoli, a traditional fermented beverage is the historical favorite from the alcoholic beverage category. However, imported beer gains some traction with consumers in Korea. Despite this success, it is still a small percentage of total consumption of alcoholic beverages, indicating room for growth. Domestic Korean beer continues to dominate the market as indicated by the fact that locally brewed beer accounted for a 91.8 percent of overall beer sales in value (or 95.6 percent in volume) in 2013 2.

  • 02 ƯÁý03 Charles R
    The April 19th Generation and the Start of Postcolonial History in South Korea Charles R. Kim Despite implanting buoyant hopes for South Korea’s modern and democratic transformation, the April Revolution of 1960 gave way to the military coup of 1961 and the restoration of authoritarian rule. For this reason, April 19th came to be known in subsequent years as an “incomplete revolution” by nationalist intellectuals. This article examines the discourse of national regeneration in the aftermath of April 19th and May 16th to demonstrate the interrelatedness of the two events. The study contends that this pair of seminal developments generated, and was generated by, widespread perceptions of historical transition from an undesirable colonial past to a more desirable postcolonial future. Emergent nationalist beliefs in the start of a new phase in national history played a crucial role in consolidating the framework for political struggles and historical change in the era of developmental authoritarianism. Keywords: nationalist discourse, April 19th, May 16th, culture, generations Introduction The “April 19th generation” (Sailgu sedae) is a category that defies precise definition.
