Abstract

This study investigates the representation of foreign husbands in South Korean television by analyzing the reality TV show *My Neighbor, Charles*, which features intermarried couples of Korean women and foreign men. It examines the narrative patterns associated with white and non-white foreign husbands. Utilizing the three-act narrative structure theory as an analytical framework, Stuart Hall's concepts of representation and Dyer's work on Whiteness, this research reveals how Korean media, particularly television, reflects unbalanced and racially biased portrayals of foreign husbands. Such unequal representations not only illustrate the practice of racism within the Korean context but also shed light on how Korea perceives its cultural identity in the increasingly multicultural landscape of contemporary society. Additionally, this study contributes to the discourse on transnational marriage in East Asia.

Abstract

Nilai-nilai budaya dominan dipertahankan salah satunya dengan memproduksi acara televisi yang menyisipkan nilai tersebut ke dalam kontennya, secara eksplisit maupun implisit. Sebagai acara televisi realitas yang mengangkat isu multikulturalisme di Korea, My Neighbor Charles berusaha menampilkan interpretasi multikultural Korea ke dalam elemen-elemen instrinsik acaranya. Elemen-elemen intrinsik tersebut adalah pembawa acara, studio, salam pembuka, dan video pembuka. Ke empat elemen tersebut masing-masing telah 3-4 kali digantikan dengan versi terbaru. Penggantian tersebut membuktikan evolusi persepsi orang Korea terhadap orang asing.  Artikel ini menelaah ke empat elemen tersebut menggunakan pendekatan analisis wacana kritis untuk menjelaskan budaya dominan Korea yang secara implisit dijadikan referensi untuk mengonstruksi wacana multikulturalisme Korea. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dalam periode sembilan tahun penayangan My Neighbor Charles, nampak adanya perubahan persepsi ke arah yang lebih positif tentang orang asing. Persepsi tersebut berada dalam bingkai wacana multikultural Korea yang ingin memperlihatkan Korea yang terbuka terhadap imigran asing. Walau demikian, penggambaran Korea yang multikultural cenderung menciptakan dikotomi ras/etnis yang diskriminatif. Dikotomi diskriminatif ini kemudian menjustifikasi dorongan asimilasi orang asing ke dalam budaya Korea sebagai solusi

Abstract

South Korea implemented multiculturalism in 2006. The implementation of this policy became the backdrop for the emergence of multicultural television programs. Among the existing genres, reality TV shows were chosen by television stations to feature more immigrants on the screens of Korean viewers. Today, television programs have become an important space for representing immigrant identities to local audiences. This study analyzes a reality TV show titled My Neighbor Charles to gain a deeper understanding of the construction of immigrant representation in this program. This study assumes that the construction of immigrant representation is greatly influenced by how host Hong Seok Cheon frames the narrative of immigrant representation. Previous studies have not considered the important role of the host in framing the multiculturalism phenomenon in Korea. This study employs textual analysis and applies Critical Discourse Analysis to examine the data. Findings show that Hong simultaneously reinforces and criticizes the values and norms of the Korean majority. Rather than weakening Korea’s cultural dominance over immigrants, Hong’s ambivalent attitude strengthens its cultural hegemony.
