 | It has been suggested that Korean ethnic nationalism be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2024. |
Korean nationalism[a] can be viewed in two different contexts. One encompasses various movements throughout history to maintain a Korean cultural identity, history, and ethnicity (or "race"). This ethnic nationalism was mainly forged in opposition to foreign incursion and rule. The second context encompasses how Korean nationalism changed after the partition in 1945.[how?] Today, the former tends to predominate.[5]
Korean nationalism has often been structured above a concept of "pure blood", or the belief that Korean people are a pure race descended from a single ancestor. Invoked during the period of resistance to colonial rule, the idea gave Koreans a sense of ethnic homogeneity and national pride, and a potential catalyst for racial discrimination and prejudice.
The dominant strand of nationalism in South Korea, tends to be romantic in nature (specifically ethnic or "racial"), rather than civic. This form of romantic nationalism often competes with and weakens the more formal and structured civic national identity. South Koreans' lack of state-derived nationalism (i.e. patriotism) manifests itself in various ways. For example, there is no national holiday in South Korea that commemorates the founding of the state itself, as there is a controversy on whether the Republic of Korea was established on April 11, 1919, with the founding of the Korean Provisional Government, or on August 15, 1948, with the establishment of the South Korean Government.[6]
Romantic ethnic nationalism in North Korea has strong salience as well, though unlike in South Korea, civic nationalism and ethnic nationalism do not compete but rather co-exist and reinforce each other. This can be attributed to the state-sponsored ideology of Juche, which utilizes ethnic identity to enhance state power and control.
