In 1970s, Korea had a special period of Modernization developing their industrialization and a high growth of economy under Korean militarists’ despotism. The government had strongly executed several policies to develop their nation which was one of the typical underdeveloped countries. However, there were a large number of side effects on the artificial development projects for the situational inertia of their plans. The military government promoted more intensive economic growth and industrialization to shirk the denunciations of the orthodox government, then that caused more contradictions and discords. There were two main purpose of Korea’s modernization, one is the government power and the other is capitalization during this period These kinds of modernization exerted a bad influence on those who were familiar with community life style. To make worse, the modernization has induced several serious social phenomenons such as urbanization, the impoverishment of rural communities, the housing problems and labor problems. The sequence <The man remaining with nine pairs of shoes> written by Yoon Hueng-gil, realistically described the modernistic experiences of the people who were in those days and their countermeasures during the rapid industrial 1970’s. This paper contains some mentions of the problems which were caused by the framework of Korean society and tried to reach some issues of government power and capital which has affected our society for many kinds of ways until now.

This paper intend to display the aftermaths of Korean modernization throughout the personal experience and bring a matter of the people in lower middle class who went through violence and alienation in 1970s
