AB - This study examines the refugee issue in South Korea from a critical posthuman perspective, reviews the limitations of anthro-pocentric global citizenship education, and explores the direction of affective global citizenship education as an alternative. To this end, it analyzes the narratives of refugees presented in Hello, Korea! ( Refugee Rights Center, 2018) as well as refugee-related YouTube videos and comments posted between 2018 and 2025. The findings reveal that refugee narratives position refugees as objects of administrative management through the complex interplay of human and non-human actors, including administrative documents, interpretation, and spatial control. In addition, YouTube discourse repeatedly represents refugees as threats or criminals and reinforces narratives of rejection and exclusion, religious and cultural othering, and economic burden, while counter-discourses emphasizing human rights and solidarity also emerge. Based on these findings, this study argues that transforming social perceptions of refugees and broadening educational approaches require an affective model of global citizenship education that enables learners to recognize the institutional and discursive conditions surrounding refugees and to reflect on their own positionality and responsibility within these relational networks. To support this educational framework, the study proposes reconstructing boundaries through refugee narratives, critically analyzing hate discourse, and implementing reflective assessment centered on affective engagement.
