Abstract

Ci poetry emerged during the Tang dynasty and despite its musical and metrical complexity, Ci was introduced into Goryeo during the Song dynasty and it soon became integrated into classical literature. Although it was not well known to the world, Ci was constantly being written in Joseon until the early 20th century. Although not a few literary literary figures composed Ci, it was hard to find anyone who confessed to the world that they were Ci writers and why they created Ci. Many refer to the period of the reigns of King Youngjo and King Jeongjo as the Renaissance of Joseon, but during this period, there was a literary writer who was punished by re-enlistment as a soldier in the army because of the transgression that he loved a essay style that the king disliked. Although he was ranked the leading scholar in the first imperial examination of Byeolsi(one of the major civil & military service exams), he was dropped to the last by the king. Nevertheless, he persevered in his attitude, saying: “make my writing relevant to the current times.” Even when people around him sought to persuade him not to write Ci, claiming that Ci was only for frivolous people, he replied, "How can I not write Ci for fear of your words?" The name of this writer was Lee Ok. This paper will examine the attitude of Lee Ok toward Ci and his perception of Ci through Lee’s writings.
