Han (cultural)
''Han'', or ''haan'', is a concept of an emotion, variously described as some form of grief or resentment, among others, that is said to be an essential element of Korean identity by some, and a modern post-colonial identity by others. Early depictions of some form of ''han'' as an individual expression are found in examples of traditional Korean stories, poems, and songs; however, traditional Korean literature and music are largely joyous and humorous. The historicity of ''han'' in premodern Korea is disputed. An example of ''han'' as a collective expression was observed by Westerners in 1907, but a national culture of ''han'' did not exist in Korea. The contemporary concept of ''han'', that it is a national characteristic of the Korean people, is a modern phenomenon that originated during the Japanese occupation of Korea from Japanese colonial stereotypes and the characterization of Korean art and culture as "sorrowful" in Yanagi Sōetsu's theory of the "beauty of sorrow".
