이야기 브라질 한국이민사: 전 보사부 차관 한국진과 초기 이민자 고광순을 중심으로 = The oral history of the beginning of Korean immigration to Brazil: with the ex-ministry of Health and Social Security Han, Kuk-Jin and the businessman Ko, Kwang-Sun

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article was possible with the financial aid from the National Institute of Korean History's 2008 project. Through a series of oral history in July and August of 2008 about the Korean emigration to Brazil at the beginning of the decade of sixties, especially with the ex-ministry of Health and Social Security Han, Kuk-Jin (87 years old) and the businessman Ko, Kwang-Sun (90 years old), both are the fist residents of Brazil, graduated from the same Kwang-Sung Primary School of Pyung-Yang of the North Korea in 1933, with experience of having studied in Japan in the Colonial Period, we came to have a conclusion that although the Korean immigration to Brazil had started with two civilians' initiatives - Kim, Su-Jo (immigrated to Brazil in 1926 after naturalizing as Japanese in the Colonial Period) and ex-cononel Chung, In-Kyu, graduated from the Korea Military Academy in the 3rd class, the role and the decision of the Revolutionary Government in regarding to emigration policy, which didn't have any experience at that time (since the Korean Emigration to Brazil was the first official emigration to our Korean modern history), was proper and right.
What is our another important conclusion is that although the first emigrants to Brazil showed fugitive tendency, they as the Korean elites, were the protagonist to lay the cornerstone for the formation and prosperity of the Korean community in the city of So Paulo and further for a close international relation in commercial activities and reciprocal coordination between Korea-Brazil in this critical moment of the 21st century, after the G20 Economic Summit meeting in November of 2008.
