Abstract

The ‘Jeju April 3rd Incident’ (hereinafter 4.3) happened in 1948 and is an essential keyword for understanding the Jeju culture of the Republic of Korea as it affects today. It was severely damaging that one in ten of the island's population was sacrificed during the period. Research on 4.3 is being conducted in various aspects; however, academic studies in design approaches have not yet progressed. From the perspective of Design History, the study aims to clarify ‘how the red camellia flower was used as a symbolic design of 4.3’ and ‘how it has become a part of the visual culture in the Republic of Korea. This study will help understand the 4.3 field from a stereoscopic point of view and suggest a new interpretation that public awareness of the incident could increase due to the usage of the red camellia flower symbolic design.
