대만 한류 전개 과정과 특징

Development Process and Characteristics of Korean Wave in Taiwan

대만에서의 한류(韓流)는 2000년부터 본격적으로 전개되었다. 대만 한류는 단기간에 이루어진 것이 아니다. 1960년대부터 본격적 문화교류가 이루어졌으며, 누적된 교류가 2000년 이후 한류라고 네이밍 된 것이다. 따라서 본고는 2000년이후에 국한된 단면 연구에서 벗어나 연구의 시점을 일제강점기 이후로 확대한다. 본고의 첫 번째 목적은 1940년대 중반부터 1980년대까지 대만에서 일어난 한류의 궤적과 그 의미를 짚어보는 것이다. 대만에서 한류가 안정적 인기를 유지하고 있지만, 크게 파급되지 않고 정체되어 있는 특징적 현상과 원인에 대해서 고찰하는 것이 두 번째 목적이다. 이는 한류를 역사적, 문화적 맥락으로 폭넓게 이해하는데 도움을 줄 것이며, 세계 다른 지역에서 현재 진행, 확산되는 한류의 미래에 대한 단초를 제공해 줄 것이다.

Korean Wave in Taiwan has been developed in earnest since 2000. Korean Wave in Taiwan did not happen in a short period of time. Since the 1960s, cultural exchanges have taken place in earnest, and the accumulated exchanges were named Korean Wave after 2000. Thus, this study goes beyond a cross-sectional study limited to after 2000, and expands its point to after the Imperial Japan’s forced occupation period. Research on Korean Wave in Taiwan has been intermittent so far. However, previous studies have been focused on Korean Wave research in the 2000s. Previous studies can be divided into two main categories. One is on the Korean Wave phenomenon, and the other is on the impact of Korean Wave on Taiwan. Information on the Korean Wave boom that occurred in the 2000s can be provided through previous studies so far. However, research on Korean Wave before the 2000s has not yet been conducted. It was melodramas such as “Love Me Once Again” and “The One Love” that became the origins of Korean Wave in Taiwan. After the diplomatic severance in 1992, until the early 2000s, many human and material exchanges were blocked for political and diplomatic reasons, but Korean cultural contents were consumed underground even when the diplomatic relations were cut off. The first purpose of this study is to examine the trajectory of Korean Wave and its meaning in Taiwan from the mid- 1940s to the 1980s. The second purpose is to examine the characteristic phenomena and causes that Korean Wave is not widely spread and is stagnant although it has maintained a stable popularity in Taiwan. This study will help to broadly understand Korean Wave in its historical and cultural context, and also give a chance to read information about Taiwan’s history and culture and the foundations of the Kuomintang government’s cultural policy.
