The image of one nation has great effects on every types of national activities of political, economical, social and cultural. That is why every nation in the world is trying to enhance positive sides of their national image and improve negative sides of their national image.
Not only low image recognition but also weak national image about korea left us some problems that we should overcome. The image can be formed by the result of the ones specific character which builds image as well as the character of image objects. Also the image can be varied by the various people, we have to make various strategies in step with various publics.
Most of all, I added special attention to the china, a new world leading country, and I made a investigations what kinds of images the chinese have about korea in this thesis.
The first thing needs to be done before making the strategy for the improvement of image is the access for the
improvement of image.
However, most researches on national image of Korea argued about the present image that each publics have. Therefore I tried to find out how to make a efficient access for the improvement of Korea national image among the chinese in this thesis. The direct experience to one nation
can cause the real image to one nation in general, I
investigated how the former image can be influenced by the direct contact.
To make a investigation, the problems are settled.
First, how do they think about the image of korea by direct contact, what are the differences between the image by direct experience and the image by indirect experience before they came to korea.
Second, what kinds of relations are there between the change of image of korea and the variables of communication.
These are the results from this thesis.
First of all, there are positive Korea national image among the chinese who contacted korea directly, moreover, the referred image improved
compared to the image they first have. But their negative image became even worse.
Secondly there are various changes of image among the chinese by means of the specific character of each people and the variables of communication. And there are few changes among the chinese who highly understand and had various information sources about korea. Strangely there are small effects on the image change among the
chinese who contacted with korean and korean products at china.
