Park Chung-hee, a Giant of Modern History - Answering Nine Misunderstandings

Did Park Chung-hee corrupt both politics and the economy through collusion between politics and business? Was he a pro-Japanese collaborator, and as an extension of that, did he force the humiliating normalization of diplomatic relations with Japan? Did he scheme to solidify division and establish a long-term dictatorship through military culture, anti-communism, and the October Revitalizing Reforms, exploiting workers and inciting regionalism while enjoying immoral glory behind the scenes?
[A Look at Park Chung-hee] is a book that corrects perspectives by revealing the 'revealed distortions and hidden truths' for each issue.
The writing team included 10 experts in the field, including researchers, journalists, and writers.
The nine articles in the special section are direct and provocative from the title.
"Park Chung-hee engaged in collusion between politics and business?" "Park Chung-hee exploited workers?" "Park Chung-hee incited regionalism?" ...
The truth re-established based on clear data looks like this.

This is an exemplary success story of "cooperation" or "network," not "collusion" between politics and business (Professor Kim In-young, Hallym University)

It wasn't pro-Japanese, but rather an attempt to learn from the "enemy's success" and win (Yeong, Vice President of the Youth Park Chung-hee Research Association)

It was the universal military experience and ethos that truly energized our society and enabled us to defeat North Korea (Jo Woo-seok, Editor-in-Chief of Mediapen)

Anti-communism is not anti-democracy; protecting democracy is anti-communism (Yoo Gwang-ho, Visiting Researcher, Park Chung-hee Memorial Foundation)

Far from exploiting labor, Park Chung-hee was the "father of the middle class," teaching skills and creating jobs (Ryu Seok-chun, Professor at Yonsei University).

If you're looking for dictatorship and the privatization of power, look no further than the October Yushin (Lee Ji-soo, Professor, Myongji University).

Park Chung-hee was the most morally upright leader (Choi Jong-bu, researcher at the Korea Institute for Free Economic Research)

Regional animosity is commonplace, and some groups exploit this as "regionalism" (Bae Jin-young, Monthly Chosun reporter)

The normalization of diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan saved our country and our people, and criticism born of ignorance is a pro-Japanese, treasonous act (Wang Hye-sook)

Rebuttal to rebuttal isn't the only way to go.
Shouldn't we know the cause and circumstances before we can come up with a solution?
The introduction (written by Song Bok, Professor Emeritus of Yonsei University) provides a concise summary of the nine articles in the main text and diagnoses the cause of the conflict, including the distortion of Park Chung-hee, as deep-rooted “partisanship” since before the founding of the nation, that is, the division between the democratization and industrialization forces (conservatives) and the socialist forces (leftists).
As a way to preserve the democratic Republic of Korea, he proposes a rather magnanimous prescription: "consolidating the veins of democratization and industrialization" armed with empiricism, gradualism, pragmatism, and moralism, and for conservatives to embrace the left more flexibly, considering it as a cost of maintaining democracy.


The Root of 21st-Century Korean Disease: The Liquidation of Park Chung-hee - [A New Look at Park Chung-hee]

The biggest problem for those who criticize Park Chung-hee and belittle his era is that after 30 years of feverish efforts to “liquidate Park Chung-hee,” 21st-century Korean society, far from becoming healthy, is losing vitality and suffering from all sorts of ills.
The book [A New Look at Park Chung-hee: 7 Success Models to Revive Today] (co-authored by Lee Young-hoon and 7 others) was also published, reminding us that the root of the 21st century Korean disease lies in the abandonment of the Park Chung-hee model, and seeking ways to re-examine and restore 7 of Park Chung-hee's proven success models.
Several surveys have shown that the distorted perception of Park Chung-hee among teenagers and young adults is not something they have learned through their own studies, but rather something they have acquired and solidified through the media, the internet, and what their teachers, senior friends, and acquaintances say.
[A Closer Look at Park Chung-hee] [A New Look at Park Chung-hee] is a guide for the generation that did not directly experience the Park Chung-hee era.
As the title suggests, one aims to look back on Park Chung-hee and his era and expose and correct the distortions and defamations that existed, while the other aims to look back on Park Chung-hee's "proven success" and find useful models for the future.
Following these two books, a series of research and educational books will follow, including [Park Chung-hee's Economics of Shared Growth] and [Park Chung-hee and the Dawn of the Workers] (both tentative titles). At the same time, reprints of his works, including [Park Chung-hee's Poetry Collection], and a compilation of these works, [Park Chung-hee's Complete Works] (9 volumes in total), are also in preparation.
It is published by Kiparang Publishing and supported by the Park Chung-hee 100th Birthday Commemoration Project Promotion Committee (Chairman Jeong Hong-won, former Prime Minister) and the Park Chung-hee Presidential Memorial Foundation (Chairman Joa Seung-hee).
