    ABSTRACT Title of Document: UNTOLD STORIES: THE OTHER KOREA Grace Pak, Master of Architecture, Spring 2015 Directed By: Professor Garth Rockcastle, Department of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation This thesis explores the dialectical tensions, ironies, and myths of North Korea, with the hope of exposing fallacies and bringing awareness to the crisis of the oppressed citizens of this hermetic country. There are discrepancies between the North Korea that most people know, and one that is lesser known, which contains the everyday stories of real people. The goal is to design a cultural landscape containing the narratives of the persecuted in an effort to promote understanding about a country that is largely misinterpreted because of the images the Kim dictatorship and international media have planted in the minds of many people. The architecture provides a ground for commentary on the truth and what can be done to change the current state of apathy, ignorance, and helplessness. Acts of violation against humanity that continue in North Korea must be stopped. The fact that the North and South must reunite to save the citizens of North Korea is a pressing issue that the South Koreans must genuinely want in order to create change. Gathering information about Korea’s history and attributes of the proposed site will reveal how time changes space, the way our memories and ideas are both temporal and timeless as they are exchanged. When we become more aware of the issues at large, it will change our indifference and help us react to the stories that are told. UNTOLD STORIES: THE OTHER KOREA By Grace J.

  • MENDING WALL? the War Over History in South Korea
    Review of International American Studies FEATURES RIAS Vol. 11, Spring–Summer № 1/2018 ISSN 1991–2773 MENDING WALL? The War over History in South Korea his article comes at a particularly difficult time for the Republic Sangjun Jeong of Korea (South Korea), and its relations with the United States Seoul National University T South Korea of America, the People’s Republic of China (China), and Japan. Time and again, North Korea has threatened to make South Korea “a sea of fire” and to launch its nuclear warheads not only toward Japan and Guam but also to cities all over the US. US President Donald Trump has made it clear to the government of North Korea that it will not tolerate nuclear weapons in North Korea, whether aimed at the US itself or at its allies, including South Korea, and will obliterate the country, if necessary, to defend itself and its allies. China, whose relationship with North Korea is oftentimes described by the Chinese as “lips and teeth,” mea- ning the teeth get cold without lips, declares that it opposes the use of force and nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsula. South Korea, an ally of the US for two-thirds of a century, is siding with China and does not want to participate in the combined military exercise with the US and Japan or join the US plan to surround China together with Japan and India. Readers might wonder about the presence of the US on the Korean peninsula and even why the US has been so involved in both defending South Korea and demonizing the North Korean regime.

Founded in 1975, the thrust of the Forum’s work is to help develop cooperative policies in the Asia- Pacific region through debate and analyses undertaken with the region’s leaders in the academic, government, and corporate arenas. The Forum’s programs encompass current and emerging political, security, economic/business, and oceans policy issues. It collaborates with a network of more than 30 research institutes around the Pacific Rim, drawing on Asian perspectives and disseminating its projects’ findings and recommendations to opinion leaders, governments, and publics throughout the region. An international Board of Governors guides the Pacific Forum’s work; it is chaired by Brent Scowcroft, former Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. The Forum is funded by grants from foundations, corporations, individuals, and governments, the latter providing a small percentage of the forum’s $1.2 million annual budget. The Forum’s studies are objective and nonpartisan and it does not engage in classified or proprietary work.

    RIVERS BETWEEN US A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MᾹNOA IN PARTIAL FULFULLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH APRIL 2020 By Bora Hah Thesis Committee: Gary Pak, Chairperson Ruth Y. Hsu Harrison Cheehyung Kim Hah 2 Abstract Rivers Between Us is a short story collection that mediates the consequences of the Korean War lingering in the everyday lives of Koreans. The six stories paint raw human portraits of Koreans haunted by ghosts of the Korean War: a North Korean missionary who left his country and failed to return for the widespread famine floating the world as a ghost; a radio announcer from the North who pretends to be a South Korean receiving mysterious letters; a North Korean singer who is asked to sabotage her previous life at the cost of her stardom in the South; a South Korean military man who goes on a DMZ patrol only to run into ghosts whose lives were sacrificed during the war; a professional translator educated in America encountering a ghost of his dead father who had sent his child abroad out of fear of the war; an elderly woman diagnosed with dementia opening up her traumatic past as a war orphan to her granddaughter as the illness progresses. Weaving the forgotten and unforgotten Korean history into magical realism, Rivers Between Us reveals emotional truth behind the gleams and dreads of contemporary Korea.

  • North Korea-South Korea Relations
    North Korea – South Korea Relations: The Real Deal? Aidan Foster-Carter Leeds University, UK After the relative lull of the previous two quarters, spring brought new growth to inter- Korean relations, with a spate of meetings in many fields. In particular, South Korea finally obtained its long-sought goal of direct North-South military talks at general level, who in turn swiftly agreed to communications steps to prevent naval clashes like those of 1999 and 2002. In a highly symbolic move, on June 15 – the fourth anniversary of the June 2000 Pyongyang summit – each side turned off its propaganda loudspeakers, terminating decades of noise pollution across the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Multilaterally too, Seoul played a key role in the latest, and most hopeful so far, six-party nuclear talks in Beijing. For the first time, the U.S. presented a detailed and phased plan, including incentives for Pyongyang – based on a South Korean draft. Yet many obstacles remain on this front. Bilaterally too, while North-South progress looks encouraging, the exact mix of symbolism and substance in this process remains arguable. Nonetheless Seoul seems set on sticking with Sunshine, whatever might transpire on other fronts. Talks are Now Institutionalized Four years after the June 2000 Pyongyang summit, itself much celebrated this quarter, a pattern in Peninsula relations is emerging. Especially in the past two years, since North Korea abandoned its perverse practice of cancelling inter-Korean meetings to signal its displeasure with the U.S., North-South dialogue has become relatively institutionalized or even routinized. By and large, each quarter brings ministerial talks (the highest level of normal dialogue) and a meeting on economic exchange and cooperation; these alternate between Seoul and Pyongyang.
