An exclusively owned memory tends to be exaggerated and distorted by its owners. For those in power and the intellectuals, who play a leading role in creating a great “national” epic for their country, in particular, it may be more tempting to gloss over their own “history.” This is the case for Geobukseon, a turtle-shaped battleship built during the Joseon dynasty (1392~1910). The myth of Geobukseon as the world’s first submarine was developed out of Korean nationalism immediately after the March First Independence Movement in 1919 against the Japanese colonialism, in an effort to inspire patriotism into the Koreans and demonstrate Korean cultural prowess.
The invention of this myth began with the mere addition of a word “submersible” when Geobukseon was first introduced as an ironclad “submersible” warship instead of an ironclad warship. As this misleading word repeatedly appeared on the media, however, it was combined with assertive nationalism across the colonized Korea. As a result, an outlandish hypothesis that this Korean turtle ship is the first submarine in world history began to spread academically unverified or reasonably unchecked, before it became an unquestionable “historical fact.” That was the way how Geobukseon the submarine was put down as “history.” Accordingly, Admiral Yi Sun-shin (1545~1598), an alleged builder of this armored ship, was reappraised as a science hero of the time, and inspirational anecdotes about the genius inventor followed as well.
These dramatized stories spread via media and scholars’ citation from each other. Daily newspapers including the spearheading “Dong-A Ilbo” and kids’ magazines like “Children” based these anecdotes on each other’s theories. This was the case even among the intellectuals who claimed to promote science movement. None of the modern intelligentsia would shoulder an onerous burden of verification, or shatter such sweet nationalist illusions. The myth did not disappear even after Korea was liberated from the Japanese imperialism in 1945 but rather kept haunting the Asian country, setting off a wave of nationalist feelings among the Koreans for more than half a century. The hypothesis serves as an apt example of how the nationalist history is fabricated and spread as it stirs up patriotic sentiment among the people. This thesis was purposed to disclose what popular desires are latent underneath nationalist myths and how those in power would use them in the name of enlightenment.
