개화기 이후 한국 婚禮服飾의 變遷動因과 美的特性 연구 = Research on the transformation of Korean wedding costumes and aesthetic characteristics since Korean modern cultural revolution

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A wedding is one of the most productive ceremonies in the sense that people deliver tradition and their ways of their lives. There used to be traditional weddings, yet the introduction of Confucianism replaced it with Confucian manners, and this Confucian way of weddings was challenged by the introduction of western wedding. As a result of those influences, Korean wedding ceremonies underwent significant changes throughout the 20th century. This research focuses on the transformations of wedding suits, and their aesthetic characteristics.
From 1890 to 1920s, brides wore a white Hanbok (Korean traditional costume) with a veil due to the influence of a western white wedding dress, and grooms wore a western wedding suite. The transition between the traditional and the western wedding costume took place from 1930 to 1950s. Most people wore the traditional wedding costume, yet some educated people in urban areas put on white Hanbok with a veil and simple tuxedo. In the 1960s, people wore two wedding costumes: the western one and the traditional one. There was an attempt to revive the traditional wedding manners by wearing a modified Hanbok such as Arirang dress. A variety of wedding costumes were introduced in the 1980s, and there were tendencies to apply Korean traditional design to a wedding dress.
These series of transformations were attributed to three causes: modernism, post-modernism, and globalization. Modernism resulted in simplifying traditional wedding suits, and post-modernism brought a reevaluation of traditional wedding costumes, the adjustment between western wedding manners and traditional ways, and an attempt to seek traditional Korean design. The social tendency to merchandise traditional commodities, and diverse events in order to introduce Korean culture to the world explicitly indicated the trend of globalization.
The traditional wedding costume connotes a wish for reproduction and long life. Also its resplendent design demonstrates that a wedding is a social feast, and at the same time it includes sacred spirit. On the other hand, modern wedding suits emphasize purity and eternity by adopting white color, and the usage of flowers implies that wedding is a social festival. It also takes into account traditional values.
Korean traditional wedding manners and wedding costumes are valuable enough to preserve, and they should be succeeded to the next generation. In addition, the traditional wedding fashion itself has tremendous commercial values as cultural global trade is actively taking place.
