The loss of Korean sovereignty by Japan in 1910 was an unforgettable national humiliation of Korea who maintained the sovereignty for 5000 years. The process of Korea annexation into Japan was reviewed and its consequences to the food and nutritional status of Koreans were analyzed by using the records in Korea as well as in overseas. The records of the colonial Government-General of Joseon shows superficial figures distorting the actual life of Koreans at that time. Japan extorted 45% of rice and 44% of soybeans produced in Korea in 1933, and imported poor quality long-grain rice (Indica type) to replace partly the extorted rice. The food and nutritional situation of Koreans was miserable, and hunger and malnutrition were prevalent in the country for the 36 years. The height of Koreans became smaller than Japanese, who was called as 'little people (Oein)' in Korea historically.

Nowadays migrations between the countries are getting each day more active and a mixture of people with different cultural backgrounds strengthens the hybridism, whereupon the point of view on the migration of Koreans has been changed from a diasporan perspective to an transnational one. The expansion of the transnationalism affects the identity of the subsequent generations of the immigration giving way to a psychologically deterritorialized social identity, which is an important consideration in the study of subsequent generations of the immigration. This study examined the Korean immigration history and the current status of the Korean community in Spain since the 1960s. The early immigrants like fishing vessel crew members, instructors of Taekwondo, chicken sexers who, despite the limits of foreigners in Spain, went to find out the source of life with no hesitation, overcame the difficulties of the early settlers and finally managed to achieve local success. Current history of immigration that began in the mid-1960s went through the maturity during the 1970s and 80s and the Koreans in Spain these days, who have undergone differentiation in the occupational structure because of the crisis of pelagic fisheries, face new challenges due to changes in the environment of the country they reside. The Korean community is regarded as an 'exemplary minority group (Model Minority)' even though it is a minority group in number. Now that the interest for overseas Koreans is higher than ever at home and abroad, due to the economic growth of the Republic of Korea, the spread of its cultural influence -the Korean Wave as proof-, and the overseas Koreans suffrage conducted, the research of the Korean residents in Spain will be important as an advanced research of an unexplored field, as well as an opportunity to broaden the horizons of the existing study area that has mainly dealt with major regions only.

The main goal of this research was to understand housing environment as well as the living behaviors of Korean people who reside in foreign countries. This study includes examination of dwelling units, especially focusing on dwelling behaviors by space types, arrangement and use of the space, and the according residence patterns of the Koreans in the United States. Focus group interview method and survey method were conducted; photography were taken as a visual evidence; and results were analyzed by researchers. This study strongly indicates that most of Koreans try to keep their own way of living in foreign cultures and rather readjust the housing spaces and living patterns to their own culture. The results from this study have limitations in generalizing all Korean families living in foreign cultures, because a convenience sample was used. Although studies of Korean families in Columbia, MO may not provide information that can be generalized to the entire population of Koreans overseas, we expect that this study provides useful insight in understanding and estimating the future trends in residential planning for Koreans.

본 연구는 해외교포사회에 북한춤이 전파되는 과정과 그 발전양상을 살펴보는데 목적을 둔 것으로, 해외에 거주하는 민족집단으로서의 재외동포들의 무용문화, 특히 재중, 재일조선인들의 무용문화에 대한 관심과 연구의 필요성을 생각해보았다. 문헌연구 중심으로 살펴본 논점의 결과, 재일조선인사회와 중국조선족자치구의 무용문화의 출발점엔 공통적으로 최승희춤이 있었으며, 두 민족집단은 최승희로부터 직접·간접적으로 춤을 배우거나 작품을 전수받았으며, 최승희가 정리한 조선무용기본을 기초훈련으로 하여 무용을 습득했다. 또한 무용전수 및 훈련기관은 재일조선인사회의 경우 북한의 체계와 같이 무용소조를 따로 두고 그곳에서 무용훈련을 통해 재능있는 인재를 배출하여, 전문예술단에서 활동하게 하는 시스템을 유지해 왔다. 이에 반해 중국조선족자치구는 연변대학과 중앙민족대학내에 무용학과가 배치되어 있어 그곳에서 조선춤을 전수 교육함으로써 재능있는 무용인재들을 배출해 왔으며, 한국의 무용교육체계와 유사한 면을 볼 수 있다. 무용기초훈련과 작품의 경향면에서는 재일조선인사회에서는 북한에서 실천하고 있는 무용기초훈련과 기본훈련을 그대로 전수하고 있으며, 작품도 북한춤을 대표하는 명무나 민속무용을 그대로 전수받아 공연하고 있다. 그러나 중국조선족자치구에서는 최승희가 정리한 조선무용의 기초와 작품을 그녀로부터 직접 훈련받거나 전수받았으나, 최승희의 제자들은 그녀가 세운 무용기초를 발전시켜 중국소수민족의 춤기법 등을 접수하면서 중국조선족만의 무용훈련체계를 세워나가면서 한국춤과의 교류도 성사시켜 북한춤보다는 자유롭게 창작성을 가미한 중국조선족 무용문화를 형성하게 되었다. 전수된 시기로 보면, 재일조선인사회는 1960년대부터 시작되어 1970년대에 들어서는 직접적인 평양방문을 통해 전수와 교육을 받았고, 1990년대에는 북한무용가를 직접 일본으로 초청하여 무용기초훈련을 교육받음으로써 북한춤에서 볼 수 있는 스펙터클한 양상을 그대로 재현하고 있다하겠으나, 중국조선족자치구에서는 1950년대에 평양과 북경에서 최승희로부터 직접적인 지도를 받았고, 이후에는 북한무용가들로부터의 직접적인 지도보다는 북한예술단의 중국방문을 계기로 무용영향을 받는 한편, 1990년대 이후부터는 한국춤을 흡수하기 시작하면서 중국조선족만의 색다른 무용문화를 창조해 왔다. 같은 민족이면서도 살아가는 지역과 그 지역을 구성하는 민족집단의 구성체계 및 정치체제에 따라 북한춤의 전수과정 및 발전양상도 유사하지만 각각의 아이덴티티를 보장하는 독자적인 특색을 지닌 무용문화를 형성하며 발전시켜 왔음을 알 수 있으며, 재일조선인사회의 무용문화는 조총련의 통제하 강제적 문화접변에 의한 무용문화의 변동을, 중국조선족자치구의 무용문화는 자발적 문화접변에 의한 자유로운 차용과 발전으로의 변동을 살필 수 있었다.

This study surveyed Koreans' as well as foreigners' satisfaction about the size and appropriateness of size label for souvenir T-shirts currently selling in domestic and overseas countries. Questionnaire survey was conducted to 205 Koreans who located in overseas and foreigners who located in Korea. The questionnaire was composed with T-shirts purchasing, difficulties in size selection, and satisfaction of fitness and prepared in Korean and english version. The survey revealed that the most dissatisfaction with the size of souvenir T-shirts concerned difficulty in finding appropriate sizes due to discrepancy between size systems different among countries and actual T-shirt size. Particularly, the participants showed relatively low degree of satisfaction with the area of shoulders and necks. When the size satisfaction was compared across countries, there were significant differences in shoulder width, shoulder length, and neck circumference. The satisfaction with shoulder width was also different depending on gender. Female participants' satisfaction was significantly lower than that of male participants.

The purpose of this study is to find out the determinants of export in Korean fishery products. For the analysis, laver and tuna, which account for almost half of seafood exports, were selected, and a gravity model widely used in trade analysis was applied. As explanatory variables, GDP, number of overseas Koreans, exchange rate, FTA, and WTO were applied, and fixed effect terms were included to take into account multilateral resistance that hinders trade. The analysis period is from 2000 to 2018, and the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) method was applied to solve the problem of zero observation and heteroscedasticity inherent in trade data. As a result of the analysis, GDP was found to have a significant positive effect on both laver and tuna. The number of overseas Koreans was significant in canned tuna exports, but not in laver and the other tuna products. As the exchange rate increased, the export of laver and tuna for sashimi increased. The impacts of the FTA were confirmed in the exports of dried laver and raw tuna, which supports the results of the previous study. WTO was not significant for laver and tuna. Based on these results, it is necessary to find a way to make good use of the FTA to expand exports of seafood.

Objectives: This study purports to comparatively study health condition, health behaviors, and health care utilization of Koreans living in Korea and in the US, and then, to analyze the factors influencing them. Methods: The collected data were analyzed on the basis of the 2005 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Of 25,196 adults aged 19 or older, 7,802 respondents to health behavior survey and 5,526 respondents to physical examination survey. The analyzed data of the Korean Americans were the results of the California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) conducted by the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research in 2005. This study analyzed the responses of 645 known Korean respondents to the 2005 CHIS. Results: In regard to differences in overall health condition between the two groups, it was found that both the male and female Korean Americans thought their own overall health conditions were relatively poor compared to Koreans, especially in relation to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. For smoking status considered as one of health behavior factors, smokers of the Koreans account for 46.1% which is higher than that of the Korean Americans and the proportion of the Koreans smoking daily is also at least two times higher than that of the Korean Americans. Similarly, for alcohol drinking, the Koreans showed higher drinking experience rate and no less than three times higher drinking frequency than that of Korean Americans. Conclusion: It is expected that this study will contribute greatly to solving health problems among foreign immigrants and overseas Koreans in future by clarifying any differences in health status and health behaviors resulting from sociocultural differences despite of similar genetic factors.

This study concerns possible measures to prevent separatists' terrorist acts against overseas Korean businessmen. Of late, many Korean enterprises are helping a number of foreign countries develop their economy, by building factories and manning regional offices in those countries. But recent development of terrorism especially against Korean businessmen is alarming. This report discusses the need for Korean enterprises heading overseas to prepare themselves with awareness of terrorism and possible protective measures against it, besides their routine pursuance of profits; and for the government and prospective enterprises to refrain from investing in those countries having active separatist movements. If an investment has become inevitable, a careful survey of the region in conflict should be conducted and self-protective measures should be put in place through security information exchange, emergency coordination and training of personnel, etc. This study will first review the past terrorist incidents involving employees of overseas Korean enterprises, and then will focuss on seeking effective measures on the basis of the reported incidents. In carrying out the study, related literature from both home and abroad have been used along with the preliminary materials reported and known on the Internet from recent incidents. 1. The separatist movements of minority groups Lately, minority separatist groups are increasingly resorting to terrorism to draw international attention with the political aim of gaining extended self rule or independence. 2. The state of terrorism against overseas Korean enterprises and Koreans Korean enterprises are now operating businesses, and having their own personnel stationed, in 85 countries including those in South East Asia and Middle East regions. In Sri Lanka, where a Korean enterprise recently became a target of terrorist bombing, there are 75 business firms from Korea and some 700 Korean employees are stationed as of August 1996. A total of 19 different terrorist incidents have taken place against Koreans abroad since 1990. 3. Terrorism preventive measures Terrorism preventive measures are discussed in two ways: measures by the government and by the enterprises. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by the government - Possible measures at governmental level can include collection and dissemination of terrorist activity information. Emphasis should be given to the information on North Korean activities in particular. ${\blacktriangleleft}$ Measures by individual enterprises - Organizational security plan must be established by individual enterprises and there should also be an increase of security budget. A reason for reluctant effort toward positive security plan is the perception that the security budget is not immediately linked to an increment of profit gain. Ensuring safety for overseas personnel is a fundamental obligation of an enterprise. Consultation and information exchange on security plan, and an emergency support system at a threat to security must be sought after and implemented. 4. Conclusion Today's terrorism varies widely depending on reasons and causes, and its means has become increasingly informationalized and scientific as well while its method is becoming more clandestine and violent. Terrorist organizations are increasingly aiming at enterprises for acquisition of budgets needed for their activities. Korean enterprises have extended their business realm to foreign countries since 1970, exposing themselves to terrorism. Enterprises and their employees, therefore, should establish their own security measures on the one hand while the government must provide general measures, on the other, for the protection of the life and property of Korean residents abroad from terrorist attacks. In this regard, set-up of a counter terrorist organization that coordinates the efforts of government authorities in various levels in planning and executing counter terrorist measures is desired. Since 1965, when the hostile North Korea began to step up its terrorist activities against South Koreans, there have been 7 different occasions of assassination attempt on South Korean presidents and some 500 cases of various kidnappings and attempted kidnappings. North Korea, nervous over the continued economic growth and social stabilization of South Korea, is now concentrating its efforts in the destruction and deterioration of the national power of South Korea for its earlier realization of reunification by force. The possibility of North Korean terrorism can be divided into external terrorist acts and internal terrorist acts depending on the nationality of the terrorists it uses. The external terrorist acts include those committed directly by North Korean agents in South Korea and abroad and those committed by dissident Koreans, hired Korean residents, or international professionals or independent international terrorists bought or instigated by North Korea. To protect the life and property of Korean enterprises and their employees abroad from the threat of terrorism, the government's administrative support and the organizational efforts of enterprises should necessarily be directed toward the planning of proper security measures and training of employees. Also, proper actions should be taken against possible terrorist acts toward Korean business employees abroad as long as there are ongoing hostilities from minority groups against their governments.
