Today, when reiniscing the achievement of Korea’s economic development over the past decades, it is easy to find positive recognitions of President Park Jung-hee's national management throughout the 60s and 70s. Similarly, when assessing the success of Korean populace culture worldwide, very few would expect that the forerunner of the appealing entertainment industry was once restricted for the protection of political stability. The policy of banning popular music was influenced by the policy of suppressing Korean culture during the Japanese colonial period. Songs that are banned due to its negative effects are called keumjikok (prohibited song), which restricts the singer's artistic activities consequently. This paper is written to study mainly on the process of forming and implementing the policy related to keumjikok. Thereby, the authors attempted to historically present the societal and political features of Korea during President Park Jung-hee period.
