Abstract

Hometown is a place to confirm ethnic identity despite changes in the world. It was the source of life and the starting point of their lives for the Korean immigrants in China who left hometown. The KBS Radio Social Education Broadcasting Station began correspondence with ethnic Koreans in China in the mid-1970s as a part of search campaign for dispersed family members. This study analyzed the sender's self-written poems recorded in correspondence using statistical processing techniques such as topic modeling, co-occurence analysis, and word-network analysis. By deriving the common theme of the poetical composition and categorizing them, it intended to objectively extract the characteristics of the Korean migrant group inherent in the poetical composition. As a result of the analysis, the subject of their self-written poems is a sense of nostalgia. Their longing for homeland was classified into the past reminiscence type, the present satisfaction type, and the future-oriented progressive type. The role of the Korean-Chinese as a bridge for reunification between the two Koreas is a remarkable group of poetry. It is a meaningful discovery in that the sense of nostalgia is not buried in the past, but is re-establishing identity by seeking their role in the future to come. Simultaneous word analysis shows the vocabulary group that symbolizes the Korean peninsula such as Samchulli Geumsugangsan is fixed and frequently used. As the hometown in the local sense is expanded to the hometown at the national level, the expansion of the perception that Korea becomes the hometown is reflected. A combination of words such as voice and the Korean people seem to be a group of words that appeared because the family search medium was a radio broadcast. It proves that the use of media can also intervene in the perception of hometown.
