ABSTRACT

This study aimed to investigate the poems written by Lee Gwang-su in the exile when he worked for the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai. He was a president and head of the Sanghai edition of the Dongnipsinmun(The Independence) and also a head of the Sinhancheongnyeon(The Young Korea), where his several poems were published. I focused on the meaning and the poetic formation of these poems in relation with the historical events as like March 1 Movement and Gando massacre, and the inner consciousness of Lee Gwang-su in exile. In the 1920's, Shanghai was the special place free from Japanese censorship and a proxy space to remember and record the misery of Choseon colony. It is worth noting that his poems in Shanghai exile represented the national subject and were mournful over the tragic of korean people.
