ABSTRACT

The goal of this research is to find out whether or not the crisis communication message strategy in other countries can be suitably applied to the current situation in Korea. Based on the review of the applicability, it proposes a new strategy for the Korean cases. The results from a comparative evaluation of the crisis communication message between the professional and public showed that 42% of the ‘accident’-type crises and 37% of the ‘violation’-type crises are missing, which indicates the current message types do not work properly. We propose the five new message strategies such as ‘wish’, ‘mourning’, ‘empathy’, ‘request’, and ‘subject of an apology’. Finally, no significant difference was found on the message evaluation between experts and the public.
