There have been three differing discourses regarding the lyric writer of the Korean National Anthem, Aeguka: a) Chang-Ho An, b) Chi-Ho Yun, and c) collaborative writing of national leaders including An and Yun during the Independence movement. This study, as qualitative and ethnomusicological research, interviews three researchers each of whom has been strongly insisting one of the discourses for years. The interview data were analyzed utilizing a software program, NVivo12. The coders of 11 members create four codes (=nodes) from this research, such as ‘Chang-Ho An as the writer,’ ‘Chi-Ho Yun as the writer,’ ‘Collaborative writing of the Korean national leaders between 1880s and the mid-1930s,’ and ‘Politics of Korean modern history.’ This research purses to unravel the historical meanings and values of Aeguka as well as the people involved in the creation of the song during the Korean modernization period, rather than criticize the diverse discourses or restore the past.
