ABSTRACT

Korea was famous for one of the sex tour countries of Asia in 1970, 80's. Although 'Gisaeng tour' was one of the basic industries of Korea at that time, it has not been an important academic matter among researchers. But Gisaeng tour was not a historical happening so it was the succession of the formal institution of prostitution since Japanese colonial period as well as the prostitution of sexuality in 1970's all over the world. Park Jeong-hee (朴正熙) government offered a premium to Gisaeng tour industry which made a satisfactory profit without environmental pollution. Gisaeng industry should be investigated from a point of view such as gender, sexuality, class, nation and capital. Ultimately, this study would ask the proletarian women's human rights during development capitalism in 1970, 80's.
