남북한 음악교류의 양상과 방향

Abstract

In this paper, I review the aspects of inter-Korean music exchanges that have been going on in the past and propose the direction of future inter-Korean music exchanges Inter-Korean music exchanges were divided into four periods from 1985 to 2018. The exchange of the first period has great significance in that the inter-Korean music exchange is embodied for the first time. Compared to 1985, when the hostile feelings toward each other were expressed, in 1990, they looked for unification-oriented commonalities, and found elements that would act positively for both Koreas. In the second period of inter-Korean music exchange, there was music exchange in various fields centered on private organizations. But there were many occasions that stopped at one time. And South Korea was more active in exchanges than North Korea. For the next decade, music exchange events have never been realized. However, rather than actual exchanges, virtual space has been on the way of music exchange on YouTube. Through these exchanges, I have seen that North Korean music is becoming a content for South Koreans. Music exchanges through YouTube, a virtual space, were realized in 2018 in 16 years of actual exchange. The exchange of music with the resumption of political exchanges can be considered to have contributed greatly to the recognition of the national community of the two Koreas, even if there are limitations. For the future inter-Korean music exchanges, the South and the North should strive to contribute to restoring trust. To this end, unification education and cultural diversity education related to inter-Korean cooperation need to be done at the national level. Also, whatever the way, we need to meet more often and be exposed to your music more often. And then it is also necessary to establish a process for long-term, regular exchange based on trust.
