Here, there are many cases in which the pity and sympathy toward the nation act as a basic motive for his creative work. This study has taken a view of how the reality awareness of the poet and the following emotional reactions are formed by investigating his poetic motives - pity and sympathy.

The pity and sympathy were emotions that accomplished basis in giving form to desperate reality of suffering and frustration as poems. But although the poems of Lee, Yong-ak started from the emotion called self-pity and sympathy, the distance from poetic target was secured through restrained expression of unrestrained emotions and his poems could maintain a balance in the expression of emotions and ideology as a result.
