This treatise studies specific characters in Gwon-Jeongsaeng's fairy tales with a Minjung theological point of view. He was born in Japan-dominated time. His fairy tales came under the much influence of historical experiences of Liberation from Japan and Korean war. And his works were affected by his religion, Christianity. I found his fairy tales have christian characters and his consciousness is focus on Minjung. This treatise explains that his religious works are connected with “Minjung Theology” made from the situations of 1970, 1980 times in Korea. His christian character in his works is very specific. When he had thought his works with specific christian character, Minjung Theology substituted for western theology In Korean Churches. Extremely Korean style Christianity was on the rise at that time. That was “Mimjung Theology.” Minjung is the poor, the alien, the oppressed. And they are the subject of history. God steers history with the side of Minjung. I explain that the characters of his works are connected with Minjung Theology.
