The most important trait of the history of Korean modern poetry is the inflow of Western various trends of literary thoughts. At that time in the literary world the movement was developed to get out of the 'compulsion on nationalism and enlightenment' which was leaded by 'Chunwon Lee Kwang-Soo' and 'Yukdang Choi Nam-Seon'. At the same time the important request on forming modern literary was overflown in the history of literary. They needed to find individual subject and search on their own inside to free themselves from the compulsion on nationalism and enlightenment. To find the individual subject and inside is nothing but to find the modern subject. Finding the modern subject, they have formed the style of literary based on the theory through long history. Those Western trends of literary thoughts became the real and practical object over admired one. That is to say this trend of literary thoughts offers opportunity and basis to establish modern esthetics by modern subject over limited and anti-esthetics such as racialism, nationalism, and enlightenment.
