Comparative Research on Memories between South Korea and Vietnam Concerning Korean Armed Forces in Vietnam War

韩国民主化后，一家先进的报纸公司和非政府组织对韩国军队造成的一些伤害做出了明确的说明，但另一方面，一些退伍军人团体却强烈反对。在本研究中，我考察了韩国人对越南战争的各种叙述，并且在越南，我考虑了从国家到村庄的各个层面的各种叙述。研究结果表明，两国的叙事因政治制度、外交政策、地域条件等因素而存在差异，而越南国家虽然受到战争的破坏，但由于国家不希望这些屠杀幸存者的真实的记忆影响两国关系，韩国非政府组织试图为未来的和平努力澄清他们的负面历史，并试图记住他们自己的“负面过去”，这在越南永远不会成为官方记忆。

After democratization of South Korea, one advanced news paper company and the NGO made clear about some slaughters caused by the South Korean Army, but on the other hand, some ex-servicemen groups were severely against it. In this research, I examined Korean's each narrative about the Vietnam War, and also in Vietnam, I considered a variety of narratives according to each level from the State to villages. As a result, it is showed that in both countries, narratives are different each other according to political systems, diplomatic policies, area conditions, and so on. While the Vietnamese State, though damaged country by the war, has suppressed narratives by those slaughter survivors' real memories because the State does not want them to influence the relationship between the two countries, the Korean NGO has tried to make efforts to clarify their negative history for the peace in the future and has tried to memorize their own "negative past", which never becomes official memories in Vietnam.
