Abstract
Even in this civilized era, still people somewhere in the world are suffering from the consequence of violent historical causes. Korean history during the last century is, in a word, a history of “the wounded”. Early in the 20th century, the nation had a painful wound due to the Japanese colonial régime. Furthermore, right after World War II, the nation was divided into South and North. It was a really contradictory and paradoxical decision for the nation already victimized by Japan. This artificial and unacceptable division has piled up historical pains not only for Koreans themselves, but also for the outer world.
