The purpose of this thesis is to research for the aspects of modern culture in Korean modern times. In those ages, the modern culture of Korean society was greatly affected by Japan modern culture. That is to say, acculturation was occured between two countries. The western culture was imported via Japan as mixed forms and contents by the tradition of Japan. The specific feature of Japan modern culture is “intentional selection and encouragement of tradition”. Therefore the feature was transmitted to Korean society with the intentional drive of the policies of Japan empire government. The ‘culture of colonization’ was made in similar socio cultural milieu in Korean civil society as those of Japan. By those cultural rulings and effections, main features of Korean modern culture was formed in those days, and became the part of Korean daily culture continued even nowadays. The acculturation is, in another words, ‘hybridity’ of mixed culture. However, on the standpoint of post-colonialism, it is necessary to find some ‘resisting power’ from the colonized aculturation. Such power will contribute to find and keep self-identity and nationality in globalization. At the result, this is one of the efforts to find the route and progress of Korean modernization and real shapes of modern history of Korea.
