Lee Myeong Ok Advisor : Prof.Baek Soo-in, Ph.D. Department of Korean Language and literature Graduate School of Chosun University

This study carefully examined Yun Seok-Jung's life as it is thought that a writer's career relates to the environment where they were brought up. In 1924 when Yun Seok-Jung began writing, the atmosphere of his society was depressed under the oppression of Japanese imperialism. Not long after he had a period of confusion due to liberation from Japanese imperialism then he experienced the Korean War which was the most tragic event in our history. The writer who suffered in this period of difficulty had an attitude to join in social movements focusing on national unification and later he was engaged in future-oriented writing. Then with the point of view that a children's verse is written to be sung, the study analysed aspects of his writing and his achievements as a poet of children's verses. Present children's verses are only' literature to be read with the eyes ', but his children's verses are delivered to the readers in the form of singing through various media. So he became a popular poet of children's verses. His poetry writing is special as he has a natural skill for dealing with Korean language and breathing, and he was considered a poet who raised the level of our children's verses. Most existing studies on his juvenile mind emphasized that he wrote of a world which was isolated from reality. However, this study intended to approach his mind with the premise that he had realized a new childhood image. So this study rediscovered characteristics which were ignored or are being ignored in our children's literature and tried to understand how they were used in his writing to complete his literary world.
