This study examines how social groups in Korea distinguish themselves in the field of movies which is the most representative form of popular culture in the Korean society. Based on previous studies such as does of Peterson and Kern(1996), Bryson(1996) and Barnett and Allen(2000), this study utilizes two ways to investigate the structure of film taste in Korean society. First method is analyzing the tolerance in movie taste through the range of film genres people like/dislike(Bryson, 1996; Peterson and Kern, 1996). Second method is measuring the patterns of film watching practices according to blockbuster/artistic/classic characteristic of domestic/foreign movies(Barnett and Allen, 2000). As a result, culturally excluded groups (old age, low income, less educated) tend to have less preferred movie genres while have more genres which they do not favor. On the other side, groups from higher class tend to favor Korean blockbusters and art films. Moreover, groups which are closer to high-class art tend to view more foreign blockbusters, foreign art films, and classical domestic/foreign films. In that popular culture expands its territory in contemporary Korean society, this study suggests that movie taste within popular culture is also a significant index to discover symbolic exclusion by diverse social groups in Korea.
