</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">One of the
most important recent shifts in Korean literature is found in gender conflict.
This “Special Feature: Gender Trouble in Korean Literature,” guest edited by
Lee Hye-ryeong, shows a fundamentally new perspective through six scholars
reading Korean literature. Over the past decade, the #MeToo Movement has shaken
the world, and Korean society has been no exception, as can be seen in Choi
Young-mi’s poem “En,” introduced here with six critical essays. Even before its
publication, “En” was the focus of media attention, and it remained a hot topic
in Korean society for years due to Choi’s high-profile court battles.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-indent:20pt;line-height:normal;word-break:keep-all;font-size:10pt;font-family:"\00b9d1\00c740 \00ace0\00b515""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> I am pleased to be able to introduce the
paintings of Yoon Suk Nam as part of this special feature focusing on gender. A
pioneer in feminist art since the late 1980s, she is often called the godmother
of Korean feminist art. In particular, the paintings taken from this year's
exhibition are portraits of female visionaries during the colonial period.
These paintings give us a new understanding of the social roles and
complexities navigated by Korean women during the colonial era, reminding us
that a great deal of work remains to be done to more fully understand gendered
realities emerging from that history. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-indent:20pt;line-height:normal;word-break:keep-all;font-size:10pt;font-family:"\00b9d1\00c740 \00ace0\00b515""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The
“Genre Fiction” feature, guest-edited by Bruce Fulton, also illustrates the
change in Korean literature. If 20th-century Korean literature tended toward
heaviness, favoring the perspective of the grand narrative through the
historical and social particularities of a few individuals, the works gathered
here show Korean literature putting down that weight and seeking another
direction. The recent emergence of literary works that address speculative
fiction, fantasy, horror, and LGBT issues, among others, correspondingly signal
fundamental changes in Korean society. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-indent:20pt;line-height:normal;word-break:keep-all;font-size:10pt;font-family:"\00b9d1\00c740 \00ace0\00b515""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Traditionally,
progressive political forces have been supported by the younger generation, but
recent years have shown the political orientation of the younger generation to
be shifting unpredictably. Changes in women’s consciousness are also not easy
to predict, unlike in the past. Current transformations in Korean literature
are both the result and cause of social change. Fiction by Jung Young Moon and
Hwang Jungeun illuminates the distinctive textures of Korean society in the
21st century: Jung Young Moon captures the chatter pouring out of our present
as a snapshot of fragmentary thoughts without plot; Hwang Jungeun introduces
hapless young people to a baffling countryside that strongly contrasts with the
wealthy, glittery images which often characterize current portrayals of South
Korea's city life. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;text-indent:20pt;line-height:normal;word-break:keep-all;font-size:10pt;font-family:"\00b9d1\00c740 \00ace0\00b515""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The
