The existing studies on the <Ilminga> have been inclined only to the exterior of the work. Therefore, this study laid the emphasis on researching the interior of the work and considered the author's consciousness and space consciousness presented in the work. The author's consciousness can be divided into two major categories ; politician's consciousness and poet's consciousness. The author recites the life as poet who pretends to be an Ilmin in the world. Nevertheless, this is only a persona of 'Ilmin', the real innate existence and unconscious self of Anima shows strong consciousness of government officials. In addition, he attempts an ontological conversion by pursuing the vertical space in his given horizontal space. Through an excelling inclination towards the space where the sky, the moon, and mountains exist, he confers the meaning of revival to his space and realizes the substance of desire and wish which are presented by 'Bookguel' and 'Chuksungsoo' in the end. Therefore, it can be concluded that <Ilminga> is not a song that simply addressing the tranquility of Ilmin. It is a song of desire and wish which presents the strong resentment of the author who could not be an Ilmin.
