This paper explores the evolving landscape of Korean feminist literature by examining Cho Namjuโs novel Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982 (2016) as a pivotal text in the shift away from sentimentalism in the portrayal of gender issues.

The phenomenon of North Korean defections and migration is one of the most recent historical events to emerge from the North Korean famine of the mid-1990s. Following economic failures and the loss of Soviet support due to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc and the death of Kim Il-sung (1912-1994), between 240,000 and 3,500,000 North Koreans died of starvation or starvation-related diseases in...

The history of Korean im/migrants on the African continent is relatively recent and on a smaller scale compared to Korean diasporas to other continents. Migration from South Korea to South Africa does not fit the stereotypical migration pattern from a country in the Global South with a lower income to a higher income country in the North. Hence, it is difficult to explain by either...

In particular, the many musical contributions he left...

It is usual for Koreans to use wuri โweโ to talk about their spouses, as in wuri nampyeon โmy husbandโ [we husband] and wuri manura โmy wifeโ [we wife]. But this does not mean that the husband or wife in question has multiple spouses. Rather it is usually understood that they have only one spouse. If so, how can one use, e.g., wuri nampyeon (or wuri manura) to refer to the husband (or wife) of...
