Short narratives of early modern Hangeul paper media are 292pieces. The proportion of fantastic narrative among them is 24%. Types of these fantastic narrative can be divided into fable, dream vision and oddity. In fable type, it is divided into translation or adaptation of a foreign fable and creation of it, and in the case of translation or adaptation, it had a strong universal moral message, and in the case of creation, it strongly showed a quality of contemporary reality‘s criticism and satire. In the piece of adaptation, the aspect of dramatic narration tends to be more reinforced. Whereas when in creation, a sense of purpose is strong so that it tends to depend on conversational mode than on description of dramatic fashion. That is to say it shows the limit of newspaper writing staff,not a professional writer. In dream vision type, due to a media known as newspaper it shows characteristic of editor intervention. Also, contrary to description of traditional dream vision, meanwhile making the boundary of dreams and events clearly and objectifying reality, it tends to expose the exclusion of territory of personal desire. In this section it is showing the tendency from writing staff emphasizing crisis of their nation. Oddity type uses surreal and unusual material. In this oddity type, alike types of fable or dream vision, it has a character of concentrating on reflecting or criticising reality. And also, than the type of fable or dream vision, it relatively accepts fantastic world. It is important that the fantastic narrative appeared in Hangeul paper media of early modern, because it shows that the fantasy can be effective way to reflect reality.
