Anti-Hallyu Networks In Mongolia: Focusing on the ‘structural hole in media, social, government Networks’

Anti-hallyu(Anti-Korean Wave) in Mongolia has been intensified while Korean social and economical effects on Mongolia are increasing. In 2013, a Anti-hallyu demonstration was planned by a Mongolian movie director who attracted many advocates on his facebook. This was the first off-line attempt to protest against Hallyu which is not a good sign for a good relationship between two countries. While Korea-Mongolia relations have been constantly reinforced, why are the Anti-hallyu movements getting more intense in Mongolia,? And What is the most effective solution to Anti-hallyu problems? To answer these two questions, this paper addresses what factors in Mongolia have formulated Anti-hallyu on three dimensions: media, social, and governmental sectors, each of which has different contributing elements. In doing so, the Anti-hallyu network in Mongolia can be analyzed to figure out what structural holes exist in the relationship between two countries. ‘Structural hole’ means a figurative space that can be filled with one or two links in networks. Assuming that the Anti-hallyu network can be minimized by filling the structural hole in the Korean-Mongolian relationship network, this paper reveals what structural holes exist in it and what policies two governments can fill it with.
