Hong Sa-myeong: Korean identity

The ‘own identity ’ is a self-portrait that has been gained by changing and polishing differences compared to the self-image that has appeared to others. East Asia, which is seen by the world, is the first thing to think about China and Japan. In this awareness, Koreans have fewer places to share. The biggest shift in our identity is the geopolitical factor. Our neighbor China is 50 times more than the Korean peninsula. Chinese civilization has overcome its neighbors and Korea has a historic character, living as a weakling in the rising and growing of a very powerful continent. The author was traveling abroad in any other year when a foreigner asked: “Do Korea have its own language? “The world’s worst disaster is a huge problem.”. The subjective and objective views of Korean identity are different. That's what made me a partner in the Korean identity study.
