Modern Poetry and the Image of the Sea Park, Min-young Since Chio Namsun's “From the Sea to a Boy,” which is regarded as the first modern poem in Korea, Korean modern poems have developed along with the image of the sea. The image of the sea is one of the representative images that signify a desire for modernization or a frustrated poetic ego along with nationalistic awareness at the time of the Japanese colonial reign. This study examines how the image of the sea has been applied in modern poems and how it reflects poets' self-awareness facing modernization, with a focus on the symbolism of images. The chapter 2 addresses the image of the sea that signifies “power and possibility.” To Choi Namsun, the sea means limitless power and the world of possibility boys should accept. In his poem, the sea functions as a symbol of the modern civilization boys of the new era should accept, sweeping away the relics of the old times. The chapter 3 looks at the sea as a utopia. The image of the sea along with the rising sun was made into the bright space with vitality by the Modernist poets in the 1930s. The early poems of Kim Kirim and Jung Jiyong are the examples with such images. In these poems, the sea is regarded as a wide, free and peaceful utopia or depicted as a gateway toward the wider world. It can be interpreted as a reflection of the dreams of the 320․한어문교육 제27집 elites who were studying in Japan to learn modern cultures and civilizations. However, these dreams turned into desperate depression while running into the walls of the reality, as shown in Lim Hwa's poem, “The Korean Strait.” The chapter 4 deals with the image of the sea and ‘sinking.’ The fathomless sea in Kim Kirim's “The Sea and a Butterfly” symbolizes the frustration Korean elites felt who were studying in Japan during the Japanese colonial reign. The sea in Choi Namsun's, which signified dreams and ideals, changed into the space of self-awareness full of expectation and betrayal, hope and depression, and their entailing fatigue and sorrow. Noteworthy is Seo Jeongju's Sea. He sinks himself in the scary fathomless sea to have awakening from the blindness. His sea is an abyss with boundless depth. However, by sinking himself into it, he paradoxically gains the power to rise from it.
