Abstract

This article aims to characterize the Korean conservative Protestants who participated in the anti-impeachment movement in 2017 and supported the former president, Geun Hye Park. They preached virulent anti-communist ideologies that developed into an eschatology. Their supposedly pristine past had more in common with Jung Hee Park’s regime than the Bible or early Christian history. And they were inconsistent because of their favor of economically biased modernization, in contrast to their proclaimed anti-modernism. This article also discusses whether these characteristics connote fundamentalism. They differ from the characteristics of American fundamentalism as a prototype, and can be classified as a Korean variant of fundamentalism.
