South Korea Section 3
DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone. -

29 The Place which Sustains the Imagination of a “Nation” : The Seoul National Cemetery Nami MAKINO Tokyo University of Foreign Studies Introduction The Seoul National Cemetery, called Hyeonchungwong in Korean, which is the fi rst national cemetery in South Korea, is located in the middle of Seoul, the capital of South Korea. This cemetery (which has symmetrical position with the Ministry of National Defense separated the Hangang River) was established in 1955 as a national military cemetery for glorifying the fallen soldiers who had been died in Korean War, which had been fought between South and North Korea in 1950-1953. Ten years later, it was elevated to the status of national cemetery in 1965. The site of this cemetery is 1,430,000m2 (343 acres) and there 171,450 persons are enshrined as patriot martyrs. Approximately 104,000 soldiers whose bodies were not found are enshrined with memorial tablets in the Memorial Hall and 7000 unknown soldiers whose bodies were found are buried in the grave area of the cemetery. National military cemeteries were born at fi rst in Europe where citizens began to have more important roles as volunteers than mercenaries who hired out as fi ghters in the wars. The First World War, which was the fi rst modern war in the world, brought the dead of unprecedented 13,000,000. Because the most of the dead of this war consisted of volunteers and soldiers who were conscripted from every corner of a country by force, that is, they were citizens and members of a “nation”, so their suffering should be healed and their death should be regarded as meaningful death in order to justify the war. -

The Commemoration of Gwanju
The Commemoration of Gwangju: Who is the Enemy of the State? Hang KIM (University of Tokyo) There can be nothing more instructive towards loyalty and justice than will be the memory, while it lasts, of that war. – Thomas Hobbes 1. Through Burying, Distinguish the Enemy from the Friend The modern nation states have sustained their lives through the reproduction of the historical memories originated in various wars in order to secure their nations. In that sense, a national cemetery has functioned as an institution that converts a death compelled by the state into a sacrifice dedicated for the nation. At the heart of this logic lies the distinction between them and us, that is, the enemy and the friend. For instance, the Yasukuni Shrine, which will be analyzed by Professor Tetsuya Takahashi tomorrow, has shaped the historical memory of modern Japan. It was established for the commemoration of the fallen soldiers for the Meiji reformation government in civil war occurred in 1867. This commemoration enabled the Meiji state to define the troops of Bakuhu or the former government of Japan as nation’s enemy. Since then, the latter has been excluded from the narrative of Japan’s historical memory. Thus, the primordial function of the Yasukuni Shrine for the state is to distinguish the enemy from the friend with incessantly reproducing the historical memory of Japan as a nation. Then, what if the friend and the enemy are simultaneously commemorated by the very same nation state? The contemporary history of South Korea tells us that such a paradoxical situation may exist. -

The Ahn Changho Controversy: Rescuing a Patriot from Colonial and Postcolonial Myths
The Ahn Changho Controversy: Rescuing a Patriot from Colonial and Postcolonial Myths Jacqueline Pak Cornell University The Journal of Northeast Asian History Volume 9 Number 2 (Winter 2012), 181-227 Copyright © 2012 by the Northeast Asian History Foundation. All Rights Reserved. No portion of the contents may be reproduced in any form without written permission of the Northeast Asian History Foundation. The Ahn Changho Controversy: Rescuing a Patriot from Colonial and Postcolonial Myths The “Ahn Changho Controversy” was sparked by new documentary evidence which challenged the earlier conventional views concerning the preeminent Korean nationalist leader, Ahn Changho (1878-1938). The Controversy arose from the historical mystery and enigma which long surrounded Ahn Changho, who was a leader of the transnational independence movement during the Japanese colonial rule, 1905-45. As one of the most spirited and enduring controversies in Korean Studies over the past decades since the 1990s, the Ahn Changho Controversy revealed theoretical divisions or ideological cleavages in the interpretations and re-interpretations of Korean colonial history: 1) gradualist pacifism vs. radical militarism; 2) a new view of “revolutionary-democracy” vs. the old view of “tripartite division” of Korean nationalist movement; 3) revisionism of “cultural nationalism” vs. neo-revisionism of revolutionary nationalism; 4) patriotism vs. collaborationism in the colonial period and the complicated legacy of the issue thereafter; and 5) the origins of Korean democracy, including the origin and drafter of the Korean republican constitution. In this regard, the Ahn Changho Controversy touched upon the highly complex and potentially explosive issues of patriotism vs. collaboration by probing into the previous revisionist binaries arising from the reductive matrix of the bipolar Cold War alignments. -
