HOPE OR SILENCED? — HOW SOUTH KOREAN CINEMAS LAUNCH A FUTURE WITHOUT CHILD SE...John1Lorcan
Although South Korean cinemas and shows are famous for their thoughtful social commentaries, they are often overlooked and regarded as simple commercial tools. Fortunately, in recent years, the movie Parasite and the Netflix show Squid Game have brought such a unique phenomenon in South Korea to the rest of the world. Other than social status, South Korean films often comment on child abuse, including domestic violence and sexual assault. Emerging as a tool to combat the lack of child protection laws in South Korea, directors and writers began and continue to carry the burden of seeking justice. This paper surveys several works of South Korean films focusing on child abuse to highlight how societies responded politically to films. The finding found that the combination of film techniques, Asian countries’ cinematic approach, and government reaction make South Korean social films unique in the world of cinematic arts.

intense as he was traumatized by them during the World War II.
During the World War II, Mr. Choi’s mother was forced by the Japanese military to
become a comfort woman. Mr. Choi’s father tried to stop the military from taking the love of his
life away but he was beaten to death by the Japanese soldiers. All of that happened right in front
of the eyes of Mr. Choi. Since then, he started hating the Japanese and assumed all of them are
severely cruel and heartless. Decades later, his hatred towards them never faded away. He has
never traveled to Japan nor purchase any Japanese brand products. He even gave up on a million
dollar contract because he had to work with a Japanese company if he signed it.
However, his only grandson, Seung Hyun has no idea the reasons behind his avid actions
against the Japanese until his grandmother, Mrs. Choi told him what happened decades ago.
Seung Hyun decided to give Yumiko as he made a promise to his grandparents that he will only
marry someone that both of them approve. After the break up, Yumiko returned to her

Seung Hyun
: It’s not your fault, right? What happened in the past should have been left in
the past. What is the point of holding a grudge?
Yumiko
: I attended a student exchange program at South Korea back in my high
school days and that was one of the toughest two weeks of my life.
Seung Hyun
: What happened?
Yumiko
: The students at the high school didn’t really like us, the Japanese students.
I’m sorry if I offended you but they are racist. They called us with offensive
names. Though we don’t really understand the meaning since they spoke in
Korean but from the tone, we knew they were saying negative things. *Starts
crying*

Mr. Choi

Japanese woman.
Seung Hyun
: Why are you being so rude out of a sudden?
Mr. Choi
: Me? Rude? Ask her what the Japanese have done to us. She’s a witch.
Seung Hyun
: Grandpa!
Mr. Choi
: If you insist to marry her, then don’t ever address me as your grandpa. I’ll cut
off all my ties with you. We shall never meet nor talk again. *Exits the

Mrs. Choi
: I would have warned both of you if I know this young lady is Japanese.

Mrs. Choi
: There’s a reason why your grandfather do not approve this relationship and the
reason is his hatred against the Japanese. During the World War II,
grandfather’s mother who is your great grandmother was forced by the Japanese
military to become a comfort woman, in other words, a prostitute. Your great
grandfather tried to stop the military from taking the love of his life away but he
was beaten to death by the Japanese soldiers. All of that happened right in front
of the eyes of your grandfather’s eyes and all of that happened when he was five
years old. Since then, he started hating the Japanese and assumed all of them are
severely cruel and heartless. Until now, his hatred towards them never faded
away. He has never traveled to Japan nor purchase any Japanese brand products.
He even gave up on a million dollar contract because he had to work with a
Japanese company if he signed it.
Seung Hyun
: Is there any way he would change his mind?
Mrs. Choi
: I’m sorry Seung Hyun. I’m sorry Yumiko.
Yumiko
: It’s alright. *Smiled stiffly*
Mrs. Choi
: *Exits the restaurant*
Seung Hyun
: Yumiko…
Yumiko
: I don’t want to put you to risk your relationship with your grandfather because
of me. Things just don’t work that way. I know you love me and I love you too.
Let’s break up. *Storms out of the restaurant*

cruel things in the past. I don’t blame you nor your grandfather.

Concepts applied in the story
Intercultural communication is “the interaction between people from different cultural
backgrounds” (Martin & Nakayama, 2009). These days, the world we live in is a “global village”
that no nation, group or culture can stay anonymous (Samovar & Porter, 1991). All parts of the
world are affected if anything happened in a part of it. The growths in technology and changes
in demographics have shaped a world which intercultural communication is common. As the
world became smaller, the interaction between people from many different cultures increases as
the modern technology has made it easier for the people to communicate with people anywhere
around the world.
Samovar & Porter (1997) mentioned that the communication practices and behaviors of
people with different cultures will vary as their perceptions of the world are not the same. In
some cases, the message may be interpreted to carry a different meaning than was intended when
it is encoded by a person in one culture and decoded by a person in another culture in the context
of his or her own cultural background.
Attribution and perceptual errors are more likely to occur between peoples with many
differences. Therefore, some problems may occur during intercultural interactions.

Ethnocentrism
Ethnocentrism is a negatively judging aspect of another culture by the standards of one’s
own culture. Being ethnocentric is being in the superiority of one’s own culture. Every one of us
goes from an ethnocentric perspective, but difficulties arise when we interpret and evaluate other
cultures negatively compared with our own. In general, a lack of interaction with one another
culture brings up high levels of ethnocentrism and encourages the impression of cultural
superiority. Ethnocentrism makes others fell defensive.
Example:
Mr. Choi
: *Drops his cup on the table* There is no way that I am giving both of you my
blessings. Seung Hyun, of all the girls out there, you chose a Japanese? Are you
out of your mind? What is so good about her?
Seung Hyun
: What is the matter?
Mr. Choi
: I would never allow our family’s pure Korean blood got ruined by this
Japanese woman.
In Love and War, one of the reasons Mr. Choi refused to give blessing to Seung Hyun
and Yumiko is due to ethnocentrism. Mr. Choi believed in the superiority of the Korean culture
and held the believe that allowing a non-Korean to marry into the family would only ruin his
family’s pure Korean bloodline. His words were rather offensive towards Yumiko.

Stereotype
In 1922, a journalist, Walter Lippmann used the word “stereotyping” to describe
judgments made about others on the basis of their ethnic group membership. At present, it is
used more to refer to judgments made on the basis of any group membership. According to the
psychologists, stereotyping is explained as mistakes that our brains make in the perception of
visual illusions. The brain often reaches the wrong conclusion when the information is
ambiguous. Stereotypes can be positive or negative.
Example:
Seung Hyun
: What is wrong with her being Japanese? Grandma! What is going on?
Mrs. Choi
: There’s a reason why your grandfather do not approve this relationship and the
reason is his hatred against the Japanese. During the World War II,
grandfather’s mother who is your great grandmother was forced by the Japanese
military to become a comfort woman, in other words, a prostitute. Your great
grandfather tried to stop the military from taking the love of his life away but he
was beaten to death by the Japanese soldiers. All of that happened right in front
of the eyes of your grandfather’s eyes and all of that happened when he was five
years old. Since then, he started hating the Japanese and assumed all of them are
severely cruel and heartless. Until now, his hatred towards them never faded

Prejudice
According to Rothenberg (1992), Prejudice means the irrational dislike, suspicion, or
hatred of a particular group, race, religion, or sexual orientation. A person is viewed according to
the superficial characteristics that make them part of the group. It is confirmed that the highly
prejudiced individual has an authoritarian personality (Adorno et al., 1950). Even when
presented with new and conflicting information, the highly prejudiced people are unlikely to
change their attitudes.
Example:
Seung Hyun
: Why are you being so rude out of a sudden?
Mr. Choi
: Me? Rude? Ask her what the Japanese have done to us. She’s a witch.
Seung Hyun
: Grandpa!
In Love and War, Mr. Choi disliked Yumiko and called her a witch because of her race.
Though Seung Hyun tried to convince change Mr. Choi’s rude attitude towards Yumiko but he
refused to listen.

Racism
Racism is the belief that doctrine that inherent differences among the various human
races, usually comprising the idea that one’s own race is superior. Racism and discrimination
were used as great weapons boosting fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and war, and
even during economic downturns.
Example:
Yumiko
: I attended a student exchange program at South Korea back in my high
school days and that was one of the toughest two weeks of my life.
Seung Hyun
: What happened?
Yumiko
: The students at the high school didn’t really like us, the Japanese students.
I’m sorry if I offended you but they are racist. They called us with offensive
names. Though we don’t really understand the meaning since they spoke in
Korean but from the tone, we knew they were saying negative things. *Starts
crying*
In the script, Yumiko and the other Japanese exchange students were victims of racism.
The South Korean high school students called them names and talked behind their backs simply
because of their race. Their rude behaviors scared Yumiko’s feelings.
