Abstract
Chapter 6 analyses speeches by people from all walks of life at the rallies of the 2016–2017 Candlelight Revolution. As a group of progressive social actors, the grassroots speakers expressed their past, present, and future concerns about the Korean nation-state. But it is not only about the future of the nation-state per se; it is also about their individual life opportunities and concerns expressed as calculated nationalism.
