Jin-am, Lee byung-hun(1870-1940) is well known for the reformation theory of Confucianism and the movement of the religious of Confucius. At the same time, he was a poet who wrote more than 600 poetries. Even though his thoughts and studies have been studied in the past, his poetry has not been studied yet. To understand the characteristic of Lee Byung-hun comprehensively, his poetry must be researched and studied. Through the analysis of Lee Byung-hun’s poetry, this paper exposes the appearance of him as a poet and ascertains his literary accomplishment. There are three kinds of thematic consciousness. First is an unfortunate feeling, and it came from the thought when Lee Byung-hun felt he was not accepted by the world. Second is patriotism; he lived during the time when Korea was taken over by the Japanese. Last is implementing the Confucianism on his poetry as a Confucian. There are two literature characteristics on his style. First, Lee Byung-hun felt depression and indignation while he was living in dark time. Second, he felt purity and refinement through rigorous training as a Confucian. Depression and indignant are acquired characters which are reflected in time period while purity and refinement are natural characters and those are shown on his lyric poetry.
