Abstract
This article analyzes the data from the CISJD survey research on the use of media in the Protestant Population in Korea. It examines four separate groups by the intersection of their religious and political orientations. It turns out that Korean Protestants tend, when searching for information about the secular society, to select the medium they use according to their political orientation. The stereotypical image of Korean Protestantism is represented by a group characterized as religiously and politically conservative. This is the dominant symbolic power of the Korean Protestantism in the Korean society. Another group who are religiously conservative but political progressive leads the inner critical voice against the current state of Protestantism in the country by trying to drive a new approach towards public/civil affairs while adhering to their conservative faith. The remaining two groups, one that is both religiously and politically progressive and the other which is religiously progressive but politically conservative, appear to be significant in projecting Korean Protestantism’s future landscape, because they are those who would construct a new form of the religion grounded on their unconventional relationship with the heritage of the organized religion.
