Скачать или смотреть Remembering one of Korea's greatest poets, Yoon Dong-ju amid his 100th birth anniversary

윤동주 탄생 100주년, 그는 누구인가, 우리는 왜 아직 그를 잊지못하나?

On December 30th the late poet Yoon Dong-ju, would have turned 100.
He is celebrated by the people for his love for country.
Most of his poems vividly portray the agony and oppression Koreans had to endure during Japan's colonization.
Lee Ji-won explains why the patriot left a lasting mark through his works.


The poet Yoon Dong-ju, born during one of the toughest times in Korean history, the Japanese Imperial period,... fought against Japan's colonial rule with pen and paper.
His love for poetry was evident from his youth.
He published a number of poems in grade school,... not to mention his determination to study literature in college, despite his father's wishes.
But as much as he loved poetry,.. Yoon also deeply loved his country.
Despite Japan's efforts to control and suppress Korean culture,... Yoon insisted on writing poems using the Korean alphabet, Hangeul.
To delve deeper into literature,... Yoon actually decided to study abroad in Japan.
And to do so,.. he had to take on a Japanese surname,... Hiranuma, which led him to write one of his most famous poems,... "Confession."

Expressing his shame and guit, the poem reads "My face remaining on a copper mirror rusted in blue -- which dynasty's remains is it to be such a disgrace?"

But while in Japan,... Yoon was arrested for participating in the independence movement and was sent to prison,... where he reportedly had to endure human experimentation and died at the age of 28.

Thirty-one of Yoon's poems were published posthumously by his friend... under the title "Heaven, the Wind, Stars and Poems."
Most of Yoon's work vividly depicts his frustration with colonial rule,... and the clash between love and hatred for himself... amid reflections on himself and his times.
