ABSTRACT

The problem of disgust, which is prevalent in Korean society, is not solely the Korean Christianity’s responsibility. Nonetheless, the Korean Christianity will have to be restored to the messenger of the Good News, not the main culprit of fake news, through seriously thinking about this phenomenon of disgust. This paper contains concern about this. This study focuses on the patterns, activities, and motives of extreme right-wing Protestants who have attended Taegeukgi rallies. In particular, it analyzes their disgust projected on ‘North Korean sympathizing gay,’ a recently emerging object of their criticism, thereby discussing about how the Korean Church can solve this problem. As a clue to the solution of the problem, this paper suggests the role of Martha Nussbaum’s ‘judicious spectator.’
