This study is to examine how to recover identity of Koreans intoxicated with success story as a measure to overcome polarization and to develop our nation into an advanced country to achieve various tasks upon cosmopolitans which are to emerge with changes on world’s economic power structure in order to suggest globalization plans for Koreans to settle ideological confrontation and to join the ranks of developed countries. Polarization is to be overcome by recovery of identity that Koreans have lost. Recovery of identity is restoration and establishment of values and world view underlying in Korean’s consciousness. Personal and social ethics are invisible authority that controls individual’s behavior. Business ethics would play such role for entrepreneurs and political ethics for politicians. It is definitely required to understand and establish values and world view that will control and restrict one’s behavior. Recovery of identity should decisively abandon old conventions like focus on reputation and power-oriented features and instead, pursue globalization of Korean’s patience and competitive spirit in a positive direction. With the virtue of giving up the bad and taking advantage of the good, it is necessary to establish a new identity of Koreans in this era of globalization. The task for Korea to join in the ranks of developed countries is to carry out a task given upon Koreans as cosmopolitan. Korea in the world is not limited within the Korean Peninsula. It should be realized that where Koreans live is Korea and the government policies to make Korea an advanced country should be made focusing on domestic Koreans and Korean immigrants as well. The government has tasks to be carried out both home and abroad with people. The domestic task is to cultivate talent equipped with cosmopolitan qualities through education reform. That to be carried out abroad should be to make progress toward Korea’s advancement for Korean wave, centering around Korean immigrants overseas. The government’s support and continuous activities and researches are required for Korean wave. We should pay attention to the fact that the spread of Korean wave not only promotes Korea’s economic development; environment for cultural exchange should also be fostered through diplomatic efforts to represent Korea’s cultural traits and; the number of online/mobile streaming users with Korean wave-related contents is rapidly increasing. Government’s efforts to utilize Korean immigrants are required. As private ambassadors with pride and self-esteem, Korean immigrants are resources absolutely necessary for advancement of Korea. The primary task for the national goal of advancement of Korea is for South Korea to join the ranks of developed countries along with successful modernization of North Korea. It is urgent to cultivate cosmopolitan talent necessary for advancement of Korea through changes on world’s economic power structure, escape from old way of thinking, building up an active and positive cooperative system and education reform. The political sphere as well as the minister of administration whose center is the national and local government should take off its old clothes. Ideological confrontation is one of factors that led to the fall of Joseon Dynasty. Pretext and selfish motives set the boat of Korea adrift. Serving the country should be for the sake of the people. Majority of people now live with products pouring down through contemporary scientific civilization that they have never experienced before. If the political sphere refuses to change and is still in the old clothes, it would lead to missing an opportunity of advancement of Korea. The entire nation as well as the government and political sphere should become one mind and set out on a smooth voyage for the goal of joining the ranks of developed countries.
