AB - The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of Gasa, its characteristics as a genre, and its contemporary possibility and meaning of existence. Gasa should not only meet the formative condition of being a four sound meter continuum but also be narrated in the form of discourse as a didactic mode. As to the characteristics of Gasa as a genre, this study clarified that Gasa is a style creating an aesthetic feeling by accepting and fusing two confronting pursuits, namely, the pursuit of singing and the pursuit of complete recitation, and sentimental composing and thoughtful composing, and a genre showing the discourse method for informing and conveying certain facts (topics). In addition, this study showed that Gasa is latent in people’s in depth aesthetic sense as the most natural and general form among the meters of Korean poems, so it has high possibility of being revived into a contemporary genre. What is more, this study suggested that the meaning of Gasa in today’s individualistic and heartless society is found in its usefulness for character building, sentimental persuasion, and the sharing and various appreciations of delicate sense of beauty.
