Summary/Abstract: Ethnic sentiment sheds light on a peculiarity of the Korean soul as a collective imagination, which is often explained through the word han (恨). To understand one of its historical elements, the biographical account of the Korean military Kim Yŏngchŏl interests us: the suffering of the character is linked to the historical context of East Asia of the 17th century and his feelings about the meaning of the word han are different from those of Emperor Nurhachi.
