Dear Koreanists, We are pleased to announce the publication of the winter 2005 issue of th= e KOREA JOURNAL. This issue consists of two special topics: =A1=B0Whither= the North Korean Nuclear Issue?=A1=B1 and =A1=B0Positioning the Korean W= ave in the Nexus between Globalization and Localization=A1=B1. It also fe= atures an article dealing with a comparative study of Korea and Japan=A1=AF= s adoption of Protestantism. 1. Whither the North Korean Nuclear Issue? Brought to the fore by George W. Bush=A1=AFs =A1=B0axis of evil=A1=B1 spe= ech and complicated by North Korea=A1=AFs disclosure of its uranium enric= hment, the North Korean nuclear issue has created an unpredictable state = of affairs in 21st century East Asia. Thus, KOREA JOURNAL has devoted spa= ce to fundamentally reviewing the North Korean nuclear issue, which has e= ntered a new phase following the conclusion of the six party talks in Sep= tember 2005.=20 While offering an analysis of the negotiation between the United States a= nd North Korean over the nuclear issue, Yun Dukmin points out that North = Korean nuclear program can be seen as means for ensuring its survival but= for bargaining chips in improving relations with the United States. Kim = Keun-Sik seeks to uncover the North Korean motive for nuclear development= by exploring the military-first principle that has dominated North Korea= n politics after the death of Kim Il Sung. The author expresses concern t= hat this type of military-first politics, a logic supporting the intensif= ication of the military and defense industry, could be utilized to suppor= t the development of nuclear weapons. Also, he adds that whether the Nort= h develops nuclear weapons or not depends on the United States. Presuppos= ing that the nuclear issue is the most fundamental barrier to the securit= y of the Korean peninsula, Lee Sang-Hyun presents policy suggestions as t= he building of mutual trust and South Korea=A1=AFs positive role. Compari= ng the Clinton and Bush administrations=A1=AF North Korean policies, Park= Kun Young points out that the U.S.=A1=AFs hard-line policy toward the No= rth largely stems from the Bush administration=A1=AFs conservative diplom= atic and security teams, and seriously evaluates the recent change in tea= m members as a step toward solving the nuclear issue. Focusing on the rel= ationship between the North Korean nuclear issue and East Asian regional = order, Kim Taehyun examines the issue from domestic, regional and interna= tional perspectives, and emphasizes the need to build an international co= alition led by the United States and the credible and realistic promise o= f rewards.

Positioning the Korean Wave in the Nexus between Globalization an= d Localization Although its consumption has varied based on different national and cultu= ral contexts, the Korean Wave, or hallyu, a term that refers to the fever= ish consumption and enjoyment of Korean popular culture in East Asia, has= continued abated in 2005. It is so influential that South Korea has be= en defining the tastes of many young people form clothes to hairstyles, m= usic to television dramas in China. Naturally, varied research has been c= onducted to offer an analysis of many issues: Can we see actually the Kor= ean Wave? or will it continue? Most research on the Korean Wave, however,= has emphasized the universal superiority of Korean culture or the econom= ic effect of the wave brings entirely based on economic perspective. Thus= , KOREA JOURNAL devoted its pages to deeply look into the topic of the Ko= rean Wave, while focusing on its significance for globalization and local= ization. Given that only a small amount of literature on the Korean Wave = has been written in English until now, this issue will contribute to wide= ning understanding of hallyu and facilitate further discussion on the iss= ue in international academia. While offering a discursive analysis of the Korean Wave, Cho Hae-joang de= fines the Korean Wave as transnational cultural exchange made against the= background of the development of the cultural industry in the region. Ch= o imagines an Asian solidarity or Asian bloc based not on nationalism but= on global imagination. Taking the Taiwanese consumption of Korean dramas= as an example, Kim Hyun Mee reveals how the content and form of cultural= products have been adapted to local realities and circulated as part of = a so-called hybrid culture within East Asia. Kelly Fu and Kai Khiun Liew = undercover another aspect of the Korean Wave that cannot easily captured = by Korean scholars, arguing that the Korean Wave in Singapore has reinfor= ced a sense of =A1=B0Chineseness=A1=B1 among ethnic Chinese in Southeast = Asia, rather than creating a deeper understanding of Korean culture. Shim= Doobo, paying attention to the development of the Korean cinema industry= and the appeal of Korean movies for other Asians, reads the possibility = of an Asian solidarity through the Korean Wave in a globalized era.

Article Andrew Eungi Kim examines the Korean and Japanese adoption of Protestanti= sm during the end of the 19th century and the early 20th century. He argu= es that the differential reception among the two stemmed from differences= in the political, social, and cultural climates, such as political stabi= lity, views of traditional religion, and missionary activity, rather than= from religious factors.

Joshua Van Lieu is correct in insisting that means "capital" and therefore was applied to Seoul from the moment it became the capital in 1395. Before that, although we have no vernacular texts to show it, Kaes^ong was , and before that Ky^ongju was for Silla. In fact is an evolved form of "Iron (or Metal) City," the Silla name of Ky^ongju, where --the ancestor of modern , "iron"-- is combined with p^ol, the Silla word for "city." While means capital and has always been the conventional and most common name for the city, it was never the formal name. That was Hans^ong, which in essence comes from the name of the river and the northern and southern mountains of the same name. As an administrative city, Silla called it Hansanju. Kory^o named it Yangju (Yang = "willow")m and toward the end of the dynasty called it (yang = yinyang yang-- north side of a river, south side of a mountain). Chos^on called it Hanyangbu, and changed the name to Hans^ong early on. As for Inch'^on and Chemulp'o, the latter was the name of the port, which was on the coast; the former was the name of the district, where the magistrate rukled, which was inland. The names are not equal.

Some may have noticed that the New York Times reported yesterday that the USA Taekwondo org had lost NGB status with the USOC. "The USOC has also pulled NGB status from the group formerly running tae kwon do." I just got off the phone with Bill Kellick, the USAT's Director of Communications. He indicated this was false and that he would contact the article's author, Lynn Zinser.

Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Hi All, I have recently moved from New Orleans to Orlando thanks to that mean lady Katrina. I've been out of practice for about two years, so I'm looking to start as a newbie somewhere. My previous experience was in TKD, but I'm open to other styles. I live in East Orlando, off of S. Alafaya Trail, and I work off of Bennett Road at 50. Anywhere around those two locations would be wonderful. Even though I've been out of practice, I've continued to enjoy the Digest, so, thanks Ray!! Feel free to reply to my email address: mbraud@fedex.com Thanks!

Yet we only know of GM Hwang Kee by two. Why is that??? Ray, The History of Moo Duk Kwan states that when the Founder was born his father named himTae Nam, but that later his name was changed to Kee. No explanation was given. My first Instructor ( of Puerto Rican stock) only had two names. As a former Law enforcement officer, I ran into many people who had only a first and last name. We would always write in NMI (no middle initial). So, perhaps it is just one of those things. Respectfully, Curt --__--__-- Message: 8 From: "C.

Is that current MDK, or is it something else? The patch http://martialartsresource.com/korean/patch/p9_chars.jpg ??? I believe the hanja there says Tae Moo Kwan (Moo in the circle). Yes? As I recall the Korea TKD MDK Assoc does not use that patch, but I believe the patch as seen at http://moodukkwansociety.com. The Soo Bahk Do Moo Duk Kwan Fed patch can be seen at http://soobahkdo.org. I think I still have a handful of the Korean TKD MDK Assoc little lapel pins (w/a midnight blue background) that they sent me a few years ago. I'll try to remember to bring them with me to Jackson next month for those that might want one. No charge. While supplies last.
