AB - This paper examines the television drama My Ajeossi as a ‘post-family drama’ that represents the family in the age of individualization. Labeling the drama a ‘post-family drama’ is based on the following two singularities. First, the drama deals with a ‘post-family’ situation in which the nuclear family has lost its status as a norm. In this drama, we see neither the three-generation extended family nor the nuclear family consisting of a married couple and their unmarried children that has been the focus of precious family dramas. Instead, unusual forms of kinship families, single-person households, and local communities, created by economic instability, practice familial bonds by taking on the task of caring for old age, illness, and death. Secondly, it embodies bodily affects and the intimacy based on them, suggesting the foundations for the emergence of the familial. As a ‘post-family drama,’ these features reveal a reality in which the basis or trigger of familyhood is shifting from blood ties and marriage to livelihood and housing sharing, and the focal point of familial relationships is adjusting to the performativity of mutual care and interdependence. In the age of individualization, It effectively dramatizes that family in the age of individualization is not an institutional designation, but is constituted by the density of body-mediated affects, and becomes an emotional community through the exchange of mutual intimate things.
