This study, starting from the perspective of the interculturalism, is a criticalinterpretation of the Constitution of the Republic of Korea and the Korean identity,which are defined in the Constitution. In the middle of the interpretation, there are thequestions of We-the-people-Korea-identity and of constitutional values and categorieswhich justify this identity. Through this study, it is intended to claim that the things,which have been granted, could be questioned, thus a horizon could be openedgive a new meaning to culture. From this, it becomes clear that the Constitutionof the Republic of Korea lacks elements which could generate a space for culturalcommunication in the sense of ‘in-between’. Conversely speaking, it has elementsthat are too anachronistic to compatible with the ‘end’ that the multicultural society isaiming at realizing.
