Abstract

This article seeks to research into Kim Jung-yang's novel, Hiroshima! Goodbye!(1995) This work is in the latter half of the Korean atomic bomb literature, runs from the late 1980s to the early and mid-1990s. In the early and mid-1980s, Reagan-era, the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms race and the global anti-nuclear movement were linked to Korea's pro-democracy, self-reliance and unification movements in the mid-1980s, and Korea began to express its nuclear weapons in earnest. Around this time, the victims of the atomic bomb, which had been alienated from society, began to be captured by the Korean media. In November 1987, the Korea Atomic Bomb Victims Association demanded $2.3 billion in compensation for the victims who were exposed to the Japanese Embassy in Seoul. The incident drew social attention as Roh Tae-woo was elected president and Japan and postwar treatment emerged as a diplomatic issue. In addition, the North Korean nuclear crisis in the early and mid-1990s, the symbolism of the 50 years in 1995 and the nuclear testings of China and France have realized the "concern of nuclear war." Based on this historical context, the study sought to find out what strategies and contents Kim Jung-yang organized for socializing the atomic bomb problem and remembering the public.
