This study was approached from the perspective of a historical trauma. This study was analyzed from the perspective of the 2nd generation of Jeju 4.3 experienced residents, unrelated to the ideology of right or left. In order to confirm the evidences of this historical trauma, the Korean national daily newspapers titled DongaIlbo(1962-1999), Kyung Hyang Newspaper (1947-1999), Maeil Business Newspaper (1966-1999), Hankyoreh Newspaper (1989-1999) were analyzed by the key word of Jeju 4.3(제주 4.3) and 제주사태(Jeju incident) in the Naver news library. This research showed that the sense of safety or security at the level of exo system including media as well as at the macro system including ideology was never secured for Jeju people related to Jeju 4.3 over 70 years. If this sense of safety or security at both macro and exo system is not secured, individual memory and mourning at micro system level cannot approached. Therefore publicly guaranteed safety feeling at macro system level including policy and media should become the starting line to recover the Jeju 4.3 historical trauma. The historical trauma related to Jeju 4.3, which has been handed down through generations in the silence of 70 years, should be solved by the central government policy in terms of the macro, exo, mezzo, and micro systems.

This study was analyzed from the perspective of the 2nd generation of Jeju 4·3 experienced residents, unrelated to the ideology of right or left. This study was approached from the perspective of a historical trauma. In order to confirm the cause of this traumatic event, collective stigma politically imposed on Jeju at macro system were analyzed and four Korean national daily newspapers titled Donga Ilbo(1962-1999), Kyung Hyang Newspaper (1947-1999), Maeil Business Newspaper (1966-1999), Hankyoreh Newspaper (1989-1999) were analyzed by the key word Jeju 4·3 in the Naver news library at exo system[1]. And interview results were analyzed at micro system. Incurring the “unidentified unsafe feeling”, anxiety and fear that even innocent ordinary people from Jeju Island could be stigmatized in “red” without their knowledge whether they were left or right, different attitudes changing at various systems have had influence on trauma transmission from generation to generation since 1948 until now. This research showed that the sense of safety or security at all the level of systems was never secured over 70 years. Therefore, publicly guaranteed safety feeling at macro system should become the starting line of recovering the Jeju 4·3 historical trauma. The Jeju 4·3 related historical trauma, which has been handed down through generations in the silence of 70 years, should be solved by the central government policy.

In this study, the anxiety about Jeju 4.3 was perceived to be passed down from generation to generation, and it was approached from the perspective of a historical trauma. From the interviews with my father from 2008 to 2014, and the anxiety expressed concerning 4.3, which was discovered during the in-depth interviews with the grandparents and succeeding generations who attended the social work practice class at Jeju National University in 2013 and 2015, was recognized as a universal phenomenon. In 2016, a social healing program was conducted through 3 generations communication between elderly people living in Chongsu, Hankyong-myeon, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, and students and parents who volunteered for the Social Welfare Foundation Chongsu. In the intergenerational communication program, it was found that not only the 4.3 experienced generation but also the 2nd generation who were forced to be silence about it were anxious about the expression of 4.3. and it was the 2nd generation being identified with an overall lack of awareness of 4.3 and the refusal of discussing it. The third generation felt as if Jeju 4.3 had been a historical event a long time ago or they learned about it from their grandparents. In this way, Jeju 4.3 observes that generations of trauma have been transferred from generation to generation. In order to confirm the cause of this traumatic event, the national daily newspapers Donga Ilbo(1962-1999), Kyung Hyang Newspaper (1947-1999), Maeil Business Newspaper (1966-1999),Hankyoreh Newspaper (1989-1999) were analyzed by the key word Jeju 4.3 in the Naver news library[1]. And it was analyzed how the national press had reported about 4.3 from 1947 to 1999. In particular, the titles and contents of the news reports were analyzed through the spectrum of "safety" according to the first condition of Herman's trauma healing, and Bronfenbrenner's PPCT system theory. In the Naver news library, daily newspaper including the Dong-A Ilbo, the Kyunghyang Shinmun, and the Maeil Business Newspaper had reported Jeju 4.3 as a Communist Party riot until 1987. However, other aspects of Jeju 4.3 began to be reflected since 1988. But The Hankyoreh newspaper had reported it as the Jeju 4.3 uprising since 1989. The newspaper reports did not take into consideration the anxiety and fear that Jeju residents had experienced since 1948, but rather revealed limitations of reporting from the ideological point of views of the left and right. This study analyzed the sense of safety which residents could feel about Jeju 4.3 from the perspective of the 2nd silenced generation of residents unrelated to the ideology of right and left.As a result of the analysis, the sense of safety or security secured by the whole system among the macro, the exo, the mezzo, and the micro systems, Bronfenbrenner suggested becomes the starting line of recovering the historical trauma concerning Jeju 4.3. If this sense of safety or security is not secured, individual memory and mourning will have limitations in the healing of trauma. Therefore, the historical trauma of Jeju 4.3, which has been handed down through generations in the silence of 70 years, should be solved by the central government policy in terms of the macro, exo, mezzo, and micro systems.
