Abstract

The Koreans’ perception of Vietnam generally has close rela tionship with the East Asian regional order and World system that is pre-modern tributary-investiture system, modern empire- colonial regime, contemporary post colonial-cold war system. According to the outbreak of Asia-Pacific War following the second Sino-Japanese War that the threshold of empire-colony regime emerges, the motion to construct East Asia regional order newly arises up briskly. Accordingly the interest and exploration about Southeast Asia becames heightened. Vietnam also is escaped from the colony of France, one among western empire powers and regarded as the subject of cooperative solidarity for the new Asia construction of Japan empire initiative. Vietnam, east colony of west empire, naturally become included into the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and world new order under the dich otomous perception frame of the West/the East, empire/colony. In the plans of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere plans and the development process discourses on the South Seas of the empire-colonial regime, Empire Japanese geopolitics provided the academic foundation. At this time, Vietnam is regarded as the unit to consist of the integrated space of East Asia in the political, economical and military aspect and it become drawn from geopolitical perception to understand and imagine the world in the center of divided space unit of East/West. On the other hand, the perception and the representation about Vietnam shown from mass media of colonial Joseon generally is not different from geopolitical perception of empire Japan in the latter half of colonial period. The perception about Vietnam shown from mass media then also is like the ark with the plans of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere plans and the construct of discourses on the South Seas. The case colonial Joseon is recognized and represented as the space unit about Asia and the World through geography concept in modern transition period but as the subject of geopolitical perception to be an axis of the West/the East, empire/colony to imagine the Vietnam newly was among flooding process of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere plans and discourses on the South Seas n the latter half of colonial period. Like this the Vietnam perception of colonial Joseon intellectuals was worthy to be called the geopolitical imagination of empire- colony regime.
