AB - After implementation of the open-door policy at the end of the 19th century, world travels by Koreans were not limited to China and Japan but to the Western world. This paper is a discussion on world travels by Koreans and the following discourses on the civilization during the Transition Period between Gaehwagi (Period of Enlightenment) and the period of Japanese colonialization.
I, first, glanced through the records of world travels made by Koreans in that period. Started with Seoyugyeonmun (1895) by Giljun Yoo, Yeonghwan Min and his party each left a record in 1896 and 1897. Mansu Kim, the Korean Minister to France, Jongeung Lee and Hanhong Kim each left records of world travel in 1901, 1902 and 1908, respectively.
Each of their records from the Transition Period displays astonishment and inquisitiveness about the modern civilization. They wanted to bring in the advanced Western civilization, institution and scientific progress to Korea to inspire enlightenment. With this new door open to the Western hemisphere, we were able to moved away from the previous notion that China was the center of the world and taking notice of world geography with expanding time and space. Another common substance in their journals was a sense of anguish they felt regarding the fallen behind realities of their home state.
