On the theoretical basis of Benedict Anderson's notion of the nation as an imagined community and Arjun Appadurai's argument for the transnational cultural identity in the age of globalization, this essay attempt to trace the rise of the Korean nation in the nineteenth century and the transforming national identity in today's Korea. In contrast to the traditional notion of the Korean nation with her unique and long history, this essay argues that the Korean nation rose at the end of the 19th century in her contact with foreign nations and with the introduction of print capitalism. The rise of the Korean nation could be possible when the Korean people could see collectively their difference from other nations. The impact of the foreign nations in the constitution of the Korean nation continues today when the foreign labor forces and spouses of foreign origins make up a significant portion of the Korean population. Today's Korean nation is in the process of transformation with the human and cultural exchange with other nations.
