Abstract

In the voiced records that were released between 1920's and 1930's, many classic poetries are included. In other words, such classic poetries were prevailed in the early 20th century with other mediums. In this study, the facts of songs that were once loved by the people in the past through the repertory of the voiced records. As a result, a new territory that harmonized the 'conventional' and 'foreign' forms were created with the introduction of a new music style in the 20th century, and based in such fact it enabled the repertory of the art songs the and popular music to be flourished in the field. Especially the stream of the overall history of the popular music in Korea in the early 20th century when the conventional and the foreign forms were coexisted represents the differentiated audiences in the cultural history of Korea. Of course it was 1920s when various 'popular songs' that had the foreign styles of music were introduced; nonetheless, the time when they were settle down was in the middle and the late 1930s. Such fact can be related with the growth of the new generation that was able to accept the 'foreign popular song.' The consumers of the voiced records were mainly the adults with economic power. Although the voiced culture in music was spread in public, it was hard to access to the music. People with a certain level of economic power could have an access to the culture of the voiced music. For this reason, the major consumers were the adults between 1920s and 1930s and the repertories of the voiced records seems to be from the various old songs like folk songs and Pansori. However when the new generation who had a somewhat different cultural taste from the old generation became the major consumers in the field of musical records, the 'new songs' that satisfied the taste of the sensitive new generation was on demand and thus, it grew rapidly in the market and eventually became the major and the leading genre in the market of the voiced records. As you can see, such progress is the basic structure of the overall history in the Korea popular music of early 20th century. For this reason, the necessary solutions that are essential to actualize the progress were addressed instead of simply drawing a conclusion.
