ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to establish the retro culture phenomenon, which is popular in Korean society, as a field of humanities research, and to examine the direction of the research and the possibility of meaning that can be obtained through this study in a poetic way. Retro, which has appeared in Korean society since the late 1990s, is now being applied in various cultural areas. This retro craze in our society is only addressed in the fields of music, costumes, design and the media, but little research has been done in the humanities, for example in philosophy, literature and history. Retro's research in the field of humanities is not just a trend-seeking study, but a meaningful work for us to look back on the past and reflect on our present life. Considering that the essence of humanities research is to deal with the fundamental problems of human beings, and the overall cultural phenomena surrounding humans and humans, retro research is a worthy subject of research in the field of humanities. The study looked at the contents of the study, thinking about the possibility of research in retro humanities in Korean society. Through this study, we hope to promote professional research on retro in Korea in the future.
