초록

“Sanwoo", a company magazine published by the Korea Development Bank, illustrated that the memory of the colonial period mainly emphasized on industrial finances while trivializing other aspects of colonialism to justify the establishment of banks. Based on this, the mainstream memory of the colonial period romanticized the colonial period. However, during the political upheaval around the April 19th Revolution, reformers of the Korea Development Bank disclosed hidden pieces of information about the colonial period and stood against the mainstream memory. These remarks were chiefly about the roles of the bank and its employees which were covered up by mainstream thinkers. By revealing these, the reformers attempted to criticize the upper class and revolutionize the bank. The fact that these movements emerged intermittently shows that the employees weren't solidly integrated by the mainstream memories but merely remained “stitched up" at times.
The reformers pointed out familism and subordination to power as vestiges of the colonialism that needed to be gotten rid of. Including diplomaism that had been interiorized by the bankers since the colonial period, these 3 factors were maintained or strengthened ever after the liberation in the bank. Here comes up the question whether these factors can be solely attributed to the colonialization. These factors can be considered as survival means for people after the failure of group endeavor in the latter era of the Chosun Dynasty. When thinking about the vestiges of Japanese colonization, it's important to keep in mind that there was a basis or a “root" that enabled these vestiges to remain. Unless this “root" is eradicated, the vestiges will still remain.
