This article delves into the intricate ways in which anti- and postcolonial narratives shape the
formation of political myths in both the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the
Republic of Korea. Political myth, as a discursive system, elucidates how people are molded and
what objectives they serve through a complex interplay of signs and symbols. Having established
the prerequisites for when historical narrative converges with political myth (drama, significance,
and political action), the authors identify three clusters of historical narratives, each associated with
a signifi cant trauma: the loss of independence, the attainment of independence through external
aid, and the division of the people. Scrutinizing these narratives, the authors extract common and
specific features of political myths as they manifest in the North and South, and pinpoint the key
historical and political circumstances that account for these divergences and convergences.
