- Abstract
- This corpus-based study scrutinizes South Korean medias portrayal of North Korean
defectors (NKDs), especially women. Analyzing data from five leading newspapers
(Chosun Ilbo, DongA Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, Hankyoreh, and Kyunghyang Sinmun) and
Women News, this article explores power and gender dynamics in media language
shaping NKD identities. Using corpus tools, statistical analysis of keywords, and
collocations, the study integrates critical discourse analysis of narratives obtained
through concordance search. Key findings reveal the significant underrepresentation
and misrepresentation of NKD women, often stereotyping them only as victims of
violence. The research advocates for a broader gender perspective in media coverage
and diverse portrayals of NKD women and men as integral members of the com munity, emphasizing the need for gender-sensitive and inclusive language in South
Korean media
