The group of Singing Gasa(歌唱歌詞) in the late Joseon dynasty which have the tendency of Japga(雜歌) is composed of <Gilgunak(길軍樂)>, <Baekgusa(白鷗詞)>, <Maewhaga(梅花歌)>, <Whanggyesa(黃鷄詞)>, <Suyangsanga(首陽山歌)> and so on. This thesis ascertained the truth that <Gilgunak>, <Baekgusa>, <Maewhaga> is similar to <Ssangwhageom(雙花點)>, <Hanlimbyulgok(翰林別曲)>, <Seogyungbyulgok(西京別曲)> which had been sung from Koryo(高麗) dynasty. The similarity is found not only in the words but also in the melody. So it is right to call the tendency of Japga which is revealed in this group of Singing Gasa(歌唱歌詞) as that of Koryogayo(高麗歌謠). And this group of Singing Gasa have important meaning in several respects. First, they prove the singing tradition of Gasa which has continued for a long time. Secondly, they play the mediating role connecting Koryogayo with Japga in the history of Korean ancient poetry. Thirdly, they can help us when we guess the musical form of Singing Gasa in the early Joseon dynasty and try to recover the music of songs which was collected in the ancient music book like Daeakhubo(大樂後譜) or Siyonghyangakbo(時用鄕樂譜).
