La Corée a connu une période de changement social lors de son industrialisation. Pendant cette période, l’individu s’est peu à peu retrouvé isolé et diminué par l’organisation de la société, les regroupements de population et les mécanismes du développement industriel.

Unos hombres comunes y corrientes fueron a una boda que se celebr en un pueblo cerca del ro. Esa noche de la boda se quedaron en el mismo pueblo porque ya no haba autobuses que circularan. Lo anterior es el resumen del cuento "El ro". No importa que el pueblo se encuentre en la orilla del ro，porque la geografa de este cuento no desempea un papel importante. Las cosas que perduran y continan nos dan una pista，como este cuento. Ya hace mucho tiempo que lo escrib, y Ia boda se convirti en un asunto del pasado, pero el ro sigue y seguir corriendo. Tanlo el ro como la boda son los fenmenos cotidianos que se pueden observar, de manera repetida, en este mundo.

Alienation and Introspection; The Crisis and Loss of Identity   By Yang Yun-eui on Oct 27 2014 23:56:44 Vol.2 Winter 2008 Korea experienced a period of social change during the process of industrialization. During this time, the individual was gradually isolated and diminished by society’s organizations, the collective masses, and the mechanisms of industrial development. Every individual possesses a unique identity and that fact alone makes him an independent being. At the same time, the individual’s tangible lifestyle is deeply tied to the society to which he belongs. Therefore, his individuality is not formed autonomously or independently, but rather worked out in a social group setting. An individual’s identity was somewhat fixed and stable in traditional society because the social structure established the boundaries of thought and action, thereby clearly imposing a social role on the individual. Through this process, the individual is born as a member of a collective body and lives as a part of the stable world. However, as a result of changes and expansions in the social structure and the accelerating complexity of the modern age, issues of identity have become increasingly more unstable and fluid. Faced with structural changes in the mechanized and uniform modern indust-rial society, individuals have no choice but to feel alienated..

The Avant-garde: Contextualizing Korean Literature and Experimentation   By Lee Kwang-ho on Nov 09 2014 07:54:36 Special Edition 2011 The history of modern Korean literature has been one that identifies the writing of literature with the question of what is literature. On the one hand the rise of realism and lyric poetry put verisimilitude before everything else; while on the other hand they treated the question of what it means to write as the subject of literature. Realism and lyric poetry are similar in that both seek to identify reality (or emotions) with the language of literature. Avant-garde literature in Korea departs from this mechanism of identity by objectifying the language and subject of literature, seeking instead to examine the difference that lies between the two. The writers in this school are associated with a strong commitment to writing in the modernist tradition. This does not mean that their interest lies in modernism for its own sake. Questioning the identity of literature is also one of the most modern questions that can be asked about literature. The awakening of self-examination may be called one of the defining characteristics of modernism, and modern Korean literature took up that trend by writing about the question of writing itself. This involved proving in the most avant-garde language that the modern was the most realistic, rather than simply seeking out new experiments. In other words, these writers have avoided pitting modernity as a posturing against realism as an ideal. This aesthetic effort was made possible by the socio-cultural conditions of modern society that gave birth to a new generation of literary subjects as well as the cultural awareness that a freer literature could be the sharpest critic of reality.
