Through the analysis of 「Old monk of repentance」(1936, Book III, Book 9) in 『Wol󰠏gan Yadam』, I looked at the composition meaning of the work and how the subject was shaped. In this way, the meaning of the work was discussed by linking it to a particular phase of the social problems of the day and to a youth/old discourse of the 1930s. At first glance, 「Old monk of repentance」 feels that the first and second parts of the book are not intertwined in an instrument, which makes it seem like a work that lacks the probability of an epic story. But from the perspective of the confrontation between young and old, it shows that the confrontation between the new and old generations of newspapers and tradition is unraveling in the middle󰠏tier structure of “free love” and “generational conflict.” In particular, the boy's immoral behavior and generational conflict in the latter half of the year are no less than situations such as “violence,” “murder” and “suicide” facing the elderly in the 1930s. A turning point in modern discourse a young man who went to chudonghae I used to stay completely eliminated in the logic of modernization, for his old man, The composition of these confrontations 「Old monk of repentance」. The narrator, however, expressed his stance of advocating conservative and traditional󰠏oriented values by raising the hands of the traditional generation in both the first and second half. After modern discourse, which was represented by youth in the 1920s, lost its way and became a target of criticism, the 1930s youth/old generation conflict appears to have intensified in many parts of society. While the old man is still ignorant and portrayed as an object of alienation abandoned by someone, data from the 30s, including 「Old monk of repentance」, emphasize that respect for the elderly and ethics are the value equivalent to social public good, and remind people that the solution to the problem of the old man during the modern transition period is to be in the warm interest and love of the people around him. Through these works, it is necessary to interpret the various works listed in the 『Wol-gan Yadam』 later on not just as a popular and entertaining product, but to read them more actively in consideration of the meaning of the times
