윤복진의 필명 연구

Abstract

During the Japanese colonial period, Yoon Bok-jin published a large number of children's poems and children's songs. He published not only under his name 'Yoon Bok-jin', but used various pen names. Without accurately identifying the author's pen name, the task of archiving his bibliography is bound to be incomplete. Any research based on such incomplete archive would also suffer in quality. Until now, the known pen names of Yoon Bok-jin included Kim Soo-hyang, Kim Gwi-hwan, and Parangsae. Kim Soo-gyeong was once recognized as a pen name, but this is a misinterpretation−mistaking 'Hyang(鄕)' from '金水鄕' for 'Gyeong(卿)'−rather than a separately coined pen name. Recently I have discovered yet more pen names of Yoon Bok-jin that were so far unknown. These names include Kim Soo-ryeon, Ganaria, Baekhaphwa, and Deungdae-sa Mokdong. Works published under these names sum up to around fifteen pieces. Some works were also published under the name, Yoon Bok-seon and Yoon Bok-hyang. It would be more apt to see these names as having used his younger sister's name, however. Therefore Yoon Bok-seon and Yoon Bok-hyang would not qualify as pen names, and rather a borrowing of names. Around five pieces of works were published under these names. The new works identified with these names, in total, are about twenty pieces. For a children's poem author to have published twenty pieces under the Japanese colonial regime is a remarkable accomplishment. Therefore these newly identified pieces too, should be included, in future research of Yoon Bok-jin.
