Security and Identity in South Korea
This chapter explores the normalization of security measures in South Korea through a personal anecdote from a bus during a civilian security drill, highlighting the mundane nature of these protocols. It delves into the experiences of queer activists and the impact of national security laws, particularly focusing on anti-sodomy laws and their implications for queer identities and military service. By linking historical contexts and current sociopolitical dynamics, the chapter illustrates how security discourse shapes societal perceptions and restrictions on queer expressions.
