Generally, creativity implies a positive and benevolent meaning, but creativity has the potential for
misuse. Regardless of the creator's intent, creative products and ideas are used negatively and creativity is
used to deliberately harm others or other groups. I reviewed main researches about the negative creativity
and malevolent creativity, and suggested the research issues and educational implications in this paper. In
addition, I proposed research themes to minimize the negative or malevolent use of creativity. Creativity is
a characteristic that should be developed for human self-actualization and social development, but
creativity can lead to destruction if we are neglecting the negative or malevolent creativity. Therefore, in
the course of creativity education, character education such as the role of creativity in society, social
responsibility of creative person, and moral sensibility, should be emphasized along with a sufficient
understanding of the dark side of creativity.
