ABSTRACT

The protagonist of classical novel Jeonwuchijeon shows both sides. Jeonwuchi helps the hard person and punishes evil. But the king is harassed and the woman is raped. It shows various aspects in one work. Especially, it is a peculiar point that the main character is defeated in the ending. And another story about Jeonwuchi tells him that he is a bad person. At that time people can see that he perceived him negatively. But in the Media Narrative, Tom is seen as a winner and savior of the world. Still, he has a bad face, but the results have changed. In the past, the world was deceived by Taoist magic, but now it saved the world. These ending changes are closely related to the markets that consume them. So the loser, Jeonwuchi, could be accepted as a new hero. This awareness of Jeonwuchi appears not only in movies but also in dramas. It is an environment where diversity is accepted as an attraction. Ultimately, the meaning of hero has something to do with how he is perceived rather than what he acts.
