AB - Shimdeok Yun (1897-1926), the first soprano with the phonograph recordings played an important role in the formation of Korea modern music. She was one of the ‘new woman’ who is characterized by forming her own identity and internalizing her self-consciousness with modern education and her experiences of studying abroad. Therefore she became the subject of ‘modernity’ that can be uttered in various ways. Nevertheless, she has been better known as a women in the gossip of love affairs and suicide, dramatized through novels, plays, movies, dramas and musicals. This is because a number of speculative magazines and newspaper articles have continuously reconstructed her as a dramatic figure who could be targeted and consumed. This situation remains the same during her life even after her death. Without sufficient and reliable sources to construct the narrative about her life (e.g., her own words or facts), the construction of the narrative, rumors, and the imaginative rumors produced by other people have been written and publicized as if they were true. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the illusions of the collective memory embodied in people, rather than inquire into the authenticity of the rumor. I will examine how Shimdeok Yun has been constructed in the discourse of dominant representations, imaginations, and numerous rumors. This will clarify the way that a gendered hierarchical order othernize a woman in the discourse of desire and power in Modern Korea.
