- South Korea has achieved economic growth despite social ideological conflicts since liberation, but social conflicts are deepening due to left-right camp logic.
- Especially, the camp confrontation has intensified after the liberation on August 15th, the Korean War on June 25th, the April 19th Revolution, and the May 18th Democratization Movement, causing social unrest.
- The attitude of acknowledging and correcting the ‘error of opinion’ that critic Kim Gap-soo argued should be referred to by each political force, including conservatives, progressives, pro-Japan, and pro-US.
South Korea has experienced difficult times since liberation, with ideological factions within society divided and in conflict. However, it has miraculously risen to the ranks of an economically advanced nation. Even global experts are unable to explain this feat.
The Bible says, "Man plans, but God directs." This perfectly encapsulates the current situation in South Korea.
By re-examining the path Korea has taken, we can retell its story from the past to the present with a new perspective. Bringing together different viewpoints can create a more integrated environment for the people.
This is like various streams from different regions merging to form a large river that eventually flows into the sea. From this perspective, modern Korean history has witnessed intensified social conflicts fueled by ideological divides after the 8.15 Liberation, the 6.25 War, the 4.19 Revolution, and the 5.18 Gwangju Democratization Movement. The society is split into so-called left and right, conservative and progressive, and pro-Japan and pro-US factions, leading to escalating confrontations that cause social unrest.
Critic Kim Gap-soo cautiously proposes revised opinions while acknowledging his "errors in opinion," as he had previously argued. This attitude should be of concern to so-called conservative and progressive, or Japan-leaning political forces.
