In the formative period of modern juvenile literature, U-rin-i indicated the specified genre custom and the ‘image of children’ through adaptations, creations, and prize systems of writing and the nursery song. It acted as a kind of system which presented the thought of modern juvenile literature and it was practiced readers. ‘So-nyeon-hoi’ was very important organization which secured children who were the subject of creations and enjoyment of juvenile literature, and it was special space for children. Especially, ‘Boys of Letters’ who was readers and preparatory writers of juvenile literature, showed specificity of korean modern juvenile literature. <Saekdong-hoi> which was professional writer’s group, pioneered in subordinate genre of juvenile literature with U-rin-i as their stage.
