The sacred quality or tradition of culture is what weve learned since our early childhood days, but most of the factors were imported from abroad while being confronted with resistance a couple of generations ago. Struggling against cultural imports is the struggle against the changes experienced in ones life, which is, no more than a natural human impulse to treasure the changes in ones childhood. The word indigenous has undoubtedly been adopted as an synonym of the word native- meaning, belonging to a geographically specified place. The subsidiary meaning of the word indigenous is belonging naturally to a place. Though this may provide an answer to how a can culture be reverted, it still involves many problems.
Culture is a work done entirely and decisively by man.
Therefore the thought that culture reverts to a certain region should not be simply apprehended. When indigenous culture is substituted to local culture, it substitutes the problem of reversion. Still it itself has many difficult problems to solve. The art market in Korea expanded on the basis of bubble economy of the 1990s and young artists began to be introduced in the international art scene. As Korean art circles have a very weak and inadequate system to introduce Korean artists abroad, there have been very few incidents in which their works were shown in the Western Circles.
