From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960 From World War to Cold War: Music in US-Korea Relations, 1941-1960 Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Hye-jung Park Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Committee: Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Ph.D., Advisor Ryan T. Skinner, Ph.D. Mitchell B. Lerner, Ph.D. Copyright by Hye-jung Park 2019 Abstract This dissertation examines music in US-Korea relations from 1941 to 1960. Beginning during World War II, the US government disseminated Western classical and American music in Korea. After the war, the United States also gained the confidence of Koreans by supporting Korean traditional music that had been suppressed under Japanese colonial rule. Yet South Koreans were not merely passive recipients of US propaganda. As the Korean War divided Korea into North and South, South Korean officials used music to affirm the anti-Communist alliance between South Korea and the United States. American music spread rapidly in South Korea, contributing to the formation of South Korean identities different from those of the Communist North. By tracing a history of musical relations in the transitional period from the colonial era to the early Cold War, this project emphasizes that US Cold War music propaganda programs were not an entirely new initiative but built on the foundations laid in the 1940s. By demonstrating that a peripheral country used music as a tool for political negotiations with a superpower, this project also expands the horizons of scholarship on music propaganda, which has focused overwhelmingly on US and Soviet interventions in Europe. The US government’s desire for hegemony provided both the political impetus and the resources for disseminating American music abroad, for music was an effective tool for cultural propaganda. The South Korean government's ambition of rebuilding a ii nationalist identity against the Communist North enabled the alliance and encouraged the acceptance of American music. Music diplomacy eventually supported a bilateral relationship based on shared political interests. The political purposes of the US and South Korean governments shaped listeners’ experiences of Western music in South Korea. iii Dedication To my family in Korea iv Acknowledgements I am genuinely lucky to have worked with the members of my dissertation committee. My advisor, Danielle Fosler-Lussier, has encouraged me to pursue this project from its vaguely identifiable beginnings. I could not have asked for a better advisor. Dr. Fosler-Lussier has consistently gone beyond the call of duty to support my research and me. Her boundless enthusiasm has been a main source of inspiration to me. Without her endless support, encouragement, and advice, this dissertation would not have come into being. Other committee members have also made invaluable contributions to my dissertation. Ryan Skinner’s seminars introduced me to the most fascinating theories and scholarly works in ethnomusicology, anthropology, and cultural studies. My chapter on the Korean Children’s Choir was methodologically inspired by his seminar, Fieldwork in Ethnomusicology. I also owe deep thanks to Mitchell Lerner for his very helpful comments and his advice for archival research as well as improvements to the dissertation. His research and his perspective helped me to understand the history of US- Korea relations on an entirely different level. I was fortunate to have received financial support from a number of sources. I am grateful for the Alvin H. Johnson AMS-50 Dissertation Fellowship from the American Musicological Society (2018) and the Margery Lowens Dissertation Research v Fellowship from the Society for American Music (2016). A Keitel-Palisca and Professional Development Travel grant from the American Musicological Society and the Annual Meeting Subvention Award from the Society for Ethnomusicology provided financial support that allowed me to present conference papers in New York and Colorado. The Ohio State University has been also very generous to me. The Graduate Student Research Grant of the Mershon Center for International Security Studies, the Alumni Grant for Graduate Research, and the Ethnomusicology Field Research Grants of the department of musicology supported my archival and field research. My chapter on Ely Haimowitz could not have been undertaken without the involvement of Valerie Haimowitz, a daughter of Ely Haimowitz, who permitted me to stay in her home for a week to sort through her father’s collection. I am grateful to Valerie Haimowitz for her enthusiasm about my project and her willingness to answer all my questions and share her photographs with me. I would also like to thank the former members of the Korean Children’s Choir, Yi Kyu-do, Ch’oe Sŭng-ja, Son Myŏng-wŏn, and An Hŭi-bok. My conversations with them helped me better understand the cultural policy of the Syngman Rhee regime. Others who helped my research include the historians Charles Armstrong and Hŏ Ŭn, the musicologist Robert Fallon, and the archivists David Sager and Bryan Cornell who work at the Recorded Sound Research Center at the Library of Congress. Dr. Charles Armstrong was generous enough to share the documents on Ely Haimowitz he collected with me. During my field research in Seoul, South Korea, Dr. Hŏ also shared with me his own precious materials regarding cultural activities of the U.S. Information Agency in South Korea. Dr. Fallon gave me his vinyl record of the Korean Children’s vi Choir for my research. Archivists David Sager and Bryan Cornell helped me with my research at the Office of War Information Collection. I also owe an intellectual debt to Professors Morgan Liu and Arved Ashby whose deep academic insights inspired me. Additionally, I would like to thank Professor Ju Sung-hye, my former advisor at the Korea National University of Arts in Korea, and Dr. Kim Sung-hye, the senior researcher at the Korean National Research Institute for the Gifted in Arts. Professor Ju first introduced me the academic field of ethnomusicology and built my dream to be a musicologist. My research experience with Dr. Kim in the research project on the influence of the Korean soprano Chŏng Hun-mo in the music world of Korea during the Japanese colonial period opened my eyes to underrepresented musicians in music history. My extra special thanks go to my friends and family. My friends Kim Sŏn-do and Yŏm Ŭn-hye supported me in all kinds of ways and urged me forward. When I conducted my first archival research at the National Archives of the United States, I was already pregnant. Writing this dissertation began with the birth of my daughter, Lillian Sun. In the long journey of completing dissertation, her smile and laugh have continued to refresh me and make me happy even at the moments when I had to cope with a heavy workload. I am also grateful to my parents-in-law, Ren Jifang and Sun Jie, for traveling more than 7,000 miles to look after their granddaughter while I completed my dissertation. And, of course, thanks to my husband, Sun Wenyuan, for all the support he gave! Lastly, my deepest and most heartfelt thanks must go to my family in Korea. As always, my father, Pak Kyŏng-sik, trusted in me. My mother, Cho Min-ja, sustained me with her love, warmth, and care. They consistently show pride and joy in everything I do. I am extremely grateful to my younger brother Pak Hong-ryŏl who stands by my parents vii while I am living far away from home. He is my rock! This dissertation is dedicated to my loving family in Korea, Cho Min-ja, Pak Kyŏng-sik, and Pak Hong-ryŏl. viii Vita 2008……………………………B.A. Music, Korea National University of Arts 2011…………………………...

  • Effective Evangelistic Strategies for North Korean Defectors (Talbukmin) in South Korea
    ABSTRACT Effective Evangelistic Strategies for North Korean Defectors (Talbukmin) in South Korea South Korean churches eagerness for spreading the gospel to North Koreans is a passion. However, because of the barriers between the two Koreas, spreading the Good News is nearly impossible. In the middle of the 1990’s, numerous North Koreans defected to China to avoid starvation. Many South Korean missionaries met North Koreans directly and offered the gospel along with necessities for survival in China. Since the early of 2000’s, many Talbukmin have entered South Korea so South Korean churches have directly met North Koreans and spread the gospel. However, the fruits of evangelism are few. South Korean churches find that Talbukmin are very different from South Koreans in large part due to the sixty-year division. South Korean churches do not know or fully understand the characteristics of the Talbukmin. The evangelism strategies and ministry programs of South Korean churches, which are designed for South Koreans, do not adapt well to serve the Talbukmin. This research lists and describes the following five theories to be used in the development of the effective evangelistic strategies for use with the Talbukmin and for use to interpret the interviews and questionnaires: the conversion theory, the contextualization theory, the homogenous principle, the worldview transformation theory, and the Nevius Mission Plan. In the following research exploration of the evangelization of Talbukmin in South Korea occurs through two major research agendas. The first agenda is concerned with the study of the characteristics of Talbukmin to be used for the evangelists’ understanding of the depth of differences.

  • Welcome to Korea Day: from Diasporic to Hallyu Fan-Nationalism
    International Journal of Communication 13(2019), 3764–3780 1932–8036/20190005 Welcome to Korea Day: From Diasporic to Hallyu Fan-Nationalism IRINA LYAN1 University of Oxford, UK With the increasing appeal of Korean popular culture known as the Korean Wave or hallyu, fans in Israel among Korean studies students have joined—and even replaced— ethnic Koreans in performing nationalism beyond South Korea’s borders, creating what I call hallyu fan-nationalism. As an unintended consequence of hallyu, such nationalism enables non-Korean hallyu fans to take on the empowering roles of cultural experts, educators, and even cultural ambassadors to promote Korea abroad. The symbolic shift from diasporic to hallyu nationalism brings to the fore nonnationalist, nonessentialist, and transcultural perspectives in fandom studies. In tracing the history of Korea Day from the 2000s to the 2010s, I found that hallyu fan-students are mobilized both by the macro mission to promote a positive image of Korea in their home societies and by the micro motivation to repair their own, often stigmatized, self-image. Keywords: transcultural fandom studies, hallyu, Korean Wave, Korean studies, Korea Day, diasporic nationalism While talking with Israeli students enrolled in Korean studies (mostly female fans of Korean popular culture) in an effort to understand their motivations behind organizing Korea Day and promoting Korean culture in Israel in general, I was surprised when some of them used the Hebrew word hasbara, which literally translates as “explanation.” As a synonym for propaganda, hasbara refers to the public diplomacy of Israel that aims to promote a positive image of Israel to the world and to counter its delegitimization.

    American Music in the 20th Century 6 Chapter 2 Music in the United States Before the Great Depression Background: The United States in 1900-1929 In 1920 in the US - Average annual income = $1,100 - Average purchase price of a house = $4,000 - A year's tuition at Harvard University = $200 - Average price of a car = $600 - A gallon of gas = 20 cents - A loaf of Bread = 20 cents Between 1900 and the October 1929 stock market crash that triggered the Great Depression, the United States population grew By 47 million citizens (from 76 million to 123 million). Guided by the vision of presidents Theodore Roosevelt1 and William Taft,2 the US 1) began exerting greater political influence in North America and the Caribbean.3 2) completed the Panama Canal4—making it much faster and cheaper to ship its goods around the world. 3) entered its "Progressive Era" by a) passing anti-trust laws to Break up corporate monopolies, b) abolishing child labor in favor of federally-funded puBlic education, and c) initiating the first federal oversight of food and drug quality. 4) grew to 48 states coast-to-coast (1912). 5) ratified the 16th Amendment—estaBlishing a federal income tax (1913). In addition, by 1901, the Lucas brothers had developed a reliaBle process to extract crude oil from underground, which soon massively increased the worldwide supply of oil while significantly lowering its price. This turned the US into the leader of the new energy technology for the next 60 years, and opened the possibility for numerous new oil-reliant inventions.

    27 Feature II Franz Eckert und „seine“ Nationalhymnen. Eine Einführung1 von Prof. Dr. Hermann Gottschewski und Prof. Dr. Kyungboon Lee Der preußische Militärmusiker Franz Eckert2, geboren 1852, wurde 1879 als Musiklehrer nach Japan berufen, wo er kurz vor seinem 27. Geburtstag eintraf. Er war dort bis 1899 in ver- schiedenen Positionen tätig, insbesondere als musikalischer Mentor der Marinekapelle. Für mehrere Jahre unterrichtete er auch an der To- yama Armeeschule, außerdem an der Musik- akademie Tokyo und nicht zuletzt an der Musi- kabteilung des Kaiserhofes. In die Zeit seines Wirkens in Japan fällt der Japanisch-Chinesi- sche Krieg, in dem die Militärmusik einen sehr großen Einfluss auf den öffentlichen Musikge- schmack gewann. Von der musikhistorischen Forschung wird dieser Einfluss als einer der wesentlichen Faktoren für die Durchsetzung der westlichen Musik in der modernen japani- schen Musikkultur gesehen. Abb. 1: Aus dem Nachruf Eckert von 1926, in: Mitteilungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft 1899 kehrte Eckert zunächst nach Deutschland für Natur- und Völkerkunde Ostasiens, zurück, aber nach einer kurzen Interimszeit in Band XXI. Dieser Nachruf fehlt in dem Berlin erhielt er einen Ruf an den koreanischen Nachdruck der Mitteilungen von 1965. 1 Dieses Feature geht auf 2 Vorträge zurück, die von den Autoren am 18.9.2013 in der OAG gehalten wurden. 2 Die bisher eingehendste Forschung zu Eckerts Biographie ist von Nakamura Rihei: Yōgaku Dōnyūsha no Kiseki ‒ Nihon Kindai Yōgaku-shi Josetsu (Die Spuren der Einführer westlicher Musik ‒ Eine Einführung in die Geschichte westlicher Musik in der japanischen Moderne), Tōsui Shobō 1993, S. 235- 363.

  • The Globalization of K-Pop: the Interplay of External and Internal Forces
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF K-POP: THE INTERPLAY OF EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL FORCES Master Thesis presented by Hiu Yan Kong Furtwangen University MBA WS14/16 Matriculation Number 249536 May, 2016 Sworn Statement I hereby solemnly declare on my oath that the work presented has been carried out by me alone without any form of illicit assistance. All sources used have been fully quoted. (Signature, Date) Abstract This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive and systematic analysis about the growing popularity of Korean pop music (K-pop) worldwide in recent years. On one hand, the international expansion of K-pop can be understood as a result of the strategic planning and business execution that are created and carried out by the entertainment agencies. On the other hand, external circumstances such as the rise of social media also create a wide array of opportunities for K-pop to broaden its global appeal. The research explores the ways how the interplay between external circumstances and organizational strategies has jointly contributed to the global circulation of K-pop. The research starts with providing a general descriptive overview of K-pop. Following that, quantitative methods are applied to measure and assess the international recognition and global spread of K-pop. Next, a systematic approach is used to identify and analyze factors and forces that have important influences and implications on K-pop’s globalization. The analysis is carried out based on three levels of business environment which are macro, operating, and internal level. PEST analysis is applied to identify critical macro-environmental factors including political, economic, socio-cultural, and technological.

In this article, I shall problematize the use of both “shamanism” and “Pentecostalism” in this controversy. Instead, I shall set the episode in the wider context of what might be called Korean traditional religion, which has an animistic cosmology. By pointing to an affinity between Korean Protestantism more generally and Korean traditional religion that goes back at least to the 1907 Korean Revival, I shall argue that the Pentecostal–Charismatic and the liberationist strands of Korean Protestantism together represent a developing understanding of what it means to do Christian theology in the context of animism – or in a land of many spirits. <kw>Keywords: Korea; Pentecostalism; Shamanism; Yonggi Cho; Minjung theology <ha>Introduction <p1>The background to this article is the controversy caused in 1980s South Korea when some theologians accused Yonggi Cho’s Full Gospel theology of syncretizing “shamanism” with Christianity.
