The Korean Wave, or Hallyu, has left a cultural imprint throughout Asia since the dawn of the 21st century. While many considered it to be merely a passing fad, the Korean Wave still continues to enjoy wide popularity in Asia. How can we explain this Hallyu
phenomenon? What enabled the Korean Wave to become so popular in the region? Its success is due in large part to the appeal of its unique content. Even more important, however, seems to be the elements of the Korean Wave that are shared by many peoples of
Asia, which thus creates a deep resonance. What are these elements? If we can clearly identify those factors that appeal to the sentiments of Asian people, not only in regard to the Korean Wave but in other cultural areas as well, would it not be possible for us to shape an Asian Cultural Community by fusing those common elements found across different cultures? This session is intended to serve as a venue for specialists and practitioners to assess not simply the success factors of the Korean Wave, but also its role and implications for creating an East Asian Cultural Community, based on shared values, and in which Asian people can acquire a better understanding of each other through inter-cultural dialogue an exchange.

2000년대 중반부터 아시아 지역에서‘한류’로 불리는 바람이 지속적으로 거세게 불고 있습니다. 당초 몇몇 연예인들의 활동에 국한된, 일시적인 현상으로 여겨졌던‘한류’는 이제 아시아 문화트렌드의 하나로 자리 잡고 있으며, 그 영향력이 미치는 범위도 점차 확대되고 있습니다. ‘한류’의 성공비결은 단순한 한국적 문화의 지역ㆍ세계진출이 아니었다는 점입니다. ‘한류’는 한국 문화의 특성을 아시아에 알리는 동시에, 아시아인의 공통적인 정서에 호소할 수 있었기에 성공하였습니다. 이러한 점에서‘한류’는 한국의 소프트파워인 동시에 아시아인 공동의 자산이기도 합니다. ‘한류’를 통해 확산된 아시아의 문화공감대를 문화공동체로 발전시켜 나가는 것도 가능합니다. 문화공동체의 형성은 아시아의 지속 가능한 평화와 협력, 그리고 공동의번영에 중요한 촉진제가 될 수 있다는 점에서 중요합니다. 한국국제교류재단(KF)은 이러한 점에 착안하여 아시아 속에서‘한류’의 위치와 그 무한한 가능성을 함께 이야기해 보는 기회를 마련하였습니다.
- 아시아 지역의 문화 퓨전현상을 어떻게 볼 것인가?
- 과연 한류는 문화 퓨전의 성공 사례로 볼 수 있는가?
- 문화 퓨전이 공동체의식 함양에 미치는 영향은 무엇인가?
- 문화 퓨전과 공동가치관 형성의 함수관계는 어떠한가?
