This paper deals with the meaning of gender category in a process of ‘compressed Individualization’ in Korea, which, I think, started in 1990s. I call this process ‘compressed individualization’, because it consists not only of a so called ‘reflexive’ process of the second modernity. Due to a strong patrilineal kinship in Korea Individualism was very oppressed in modernization of Korea. It is often said that collectivism is the very characteristic of korean modernity which differs from western modernity. In this paper I argue that it was women that advocate individualism in Korea, so to say, in the process of democratization of Korea since 1987. So the notion ‘compressed individualization’ means individualization in the usual, so to say, ‘reflexive’ meaning and the delayed appearance of modern individualism in Korea at the same time. For the first half of this paper I deal with the theory of individualization by Ulrich Beck and compare German society since 1960s and Korean society since 1990s. For the second half of the paper the focus is laid on the issues of women’s movement in 1990s. I summarize the issues by 2 categories, ie. sexuality and national civil rights. I argue that the civil rights of sexuality and body can also be the starting point of individualism in Korea.
