In addition, the analysis of his criticism in the context of the 1950s were investigated and reconstructed in the meaning of criticism history. U-Jong Kim’s literary criticism of the 1950s explored the various theoretical criticism and founded the basis of korean literary criticism. He pursued the creativity of criticism as a literature and established the independence and specialization of criticism getting out of criticism that a writer is superior to anything. He also showed the peculiar critical direction in view of "the objectification of the subjective world" and taked part in the critical argument positively noticing the communication of criticism. His peculiar critical perception presented korean literary directivity through the practice of critical sprit. He discovered tradition which has meaning of the present through the critical reinterpretation of classic and aimed at humanism literature judging the modern literature. Many achievements from U-Jong Kim’s literary criticism in the 1950s have influence on criticism these days and should not be overlooked with the importance of critical history in that it is maintained as basic of modern criticism. Especially, the critical recognition, practice, and argument in U-Jong Kim’s literary criticism of the 1950s have showed not the blind imitation of western criticism but the pursuit of criticism based on korean tradition and historical situation.
