ABSTRACT

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the place on Jeong Jiyong'searly poetry. The place in the poem reflects specific experiences of apoetic speaker. Therefore, a individual who has a sensory responseappears in the place. In this sense, a place in the poem is a standard foridentifying modernity. At first, Kim Sowol's poems are compared with Jeong Jiyong's poems. It is a kind of a way to understand the modernity of Jiyong’s poetry. Jiyong took advantage of very delicate sensory on writing poem. So, theappearance of a individual with a sense is inevitable. An empirical placeappears by the eyes of an independent individual. Jiyong took Sowol'spoetry to a new level. Jiyong learned western literary theories from his study abroad. Heactively experimented with creation and succeeded. He expressed hisexperience of modern times in a sense of place. A sense of wonder andsatisfaction are the emotions that make up the initial period, but the mostrepresentative is the melancholy. As a colonial intellectual, an internationalstudent who has experienced modern civilization, the place on Jiyong’poem often featured melancholy. However, it did not develop into a deepproblem-conscious mind. Although this was one of the inevitable choicesof Joseon writers of the time, it became a limit to Jeong Jiyong's poetry.
