The preamble to Korea’s founding constitution of 1948 made the solemn promise to provide freedom, happiness, and the steady improvement of the quality of life for all citizens. This promise proved to be difficult to keep under decades of authoritarian rule and rapid industrialization. As part of Korea’s effort to successfully transition to democracy, the revised constitution of 1987 tried to grant fresh life and legal weight to this promise in its new tenth article, which underscored human worth and dignity and defined the pursuit of happiness as a fundamental and inviolable human right.

But this renewed commitment to happiness has yet to pay dividends. Korea currently has the highest suicide rate among OECD member countries and, contrary to the global trend, this rate has not shown significant signs of decline. Korea has also consistently received relatively low rankings in the Better Life Index published by the OECD since 2011 and the World Happiness Report published by the United Nations Sustainable Solutions Network since 2012. Both studies rely in part on information gathered in the Gallup World Poll, which uses the Cantril Ladder to measure subjective wellbeing. According to this poll, Koreans themselves give the quality of their lives a rather low evaluation that places Korea just above the world average.

Under these conditions, new happiness-related words such as <i>welbiing</i> (“wellbeing”), <i>hilling</i> (“healing”), <i>yollo</i> (“you only live once”), and <i>worabel</i> (“work-life balance”) have come to function as keywords of Korean society. According to Trend Korea 2018 published by the Consumer Trend Analysis Center of the Research Institute of Human Ecology at Seoul National University, the “<i>worabel</i> generation” will exert the greatest influence on Korean society and economy in 2018. Not coincidentally, predictions like these are being made as scholars argue for the importance of the humanities in addressing the happiness crisis and the government and policy makers continue to make various efforts to transform Korea into a robust welfare state. Some concrete examples of these efforts include the “humanities crisis” declaration of 2006 and the creation of Humanities Korea (HK) in 2007, the launch of Hannara Party’s “Common People’s Happiness Promotion Headquarters” (Sŏmin haengbok ch’ujin ponbu) in 2009, the beginning of the Korean-style welfare model debate in 2013, the establishment of the “Seoul-style happiness index” in 2015, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport’s ongoing Happiness Village projects.

Should the difficult task of defining and ensuring happiness be entrusted to the state and the law? Or would it make more sense to entrust this task to religious institutions, practices, and traditions that have continued to function as the source of enduring values? Can religion offer sustainable solutions to the happiness crisis in Korea as it claims to be able to do, or is it a part of the problem? The conference welcomes papers from any discipline that examine how religion may have shaped the discourse on happiness in Korea and how efforts to thwart the crisis of happiness may have shaped and redefined religion in Korea and can address some of the driving questions above and more specific phenomenon listed below (but not limited to these).
