Various Aspects of the Sino-Japanese Compound Words Adopted by the writing of Choi Namseon in Japan Paek, Nam-Deok This study is a review of characteristics of the Sino-Japanese compound words in writing by Namseon Choi during his studies abroad in Japan who had a great influence on the future generations of international Korean students in Japan as a pioneering intellectual. The summary is as follows: first, it was confirmed that Namseon Choi published his writing in the bulletin for international Korean students in Japan, and, most notably, he used the Sino-Japanese compound words in translation articles. Next, the analysis results of technical terms of Sino-Japanese compound words in his writing showed that the technical terms included mostly terms in the fields of science (physics, astronomy, chemistry, and biology), math and geography. Finally, it was shown that he referred to or published the articles he had translated in the journal named ‘Boy’. As shown above, he continued writing using his experience and literary activities in Japan after he had returned to Korea. Considering the influence on modern Korean literature he had, he is considered as having acted as a medium of introducing the Japanese to Korean.
