Abstract

Self-determinism after the end of World War 1 had a profound influence to Korea. It roused Korean people to express strong will to independence and freedom against Japanese colonial rule. But during World War 1 from 1914 to 1918 Korea also suffered a great deal of persecution and military rule inflicted by Japan. The term ‘Reform and Resistance' well reflects the times when tradition gave way to modern and modern to the present. It was 1914 when Wongu-dan, an altar for Heavenly Rites, was dismantled to construct the Joseon Railway Hotel. At the same year Yongsan Military facilities and Seodaemun Prison were established to take a firm grip on and exploit Korean people, which remain as symbosl of suffering and resistance notwithstanding. Wongu-dan(Temple of heaven in Joseon Dynasty) was a historically important structure at the Daehan Empire(大韓帝國), but it was damaged in 1913 by Japan and has not been properly evaluated since then. Instead of dismantling Wongu-dan, Japan built Joseon Railway Hotel on the site of Wongu-dan in 1913. And then Japan converted some of its affiliate structures like the shrine into the hotel. 2014 First ICO-FORUM ‘Reform and Resistance’ will enlighten how Korea transformed from tradition to modern under the unprecedented circumstance and show how the spirit of resistance was formed and manifested surrounding the relics and monuments. It also expects to understand the current trend of procedure of World Heritage and draw OUV from those facilities.
