Lee Seung-hyun: Korean Modernization and Modernist Drama

The book reviews the relative nature of the drama and the style of the plays in the 'One National Near Ages' play in Korean Modernism in the 1960s and 70s. It was a time when I imagined a people, and I put my power into economic development, in a situation divided by ideology. The 'Ne-Nang', led by the military regime, was a severe contradiction in Korean society. The Korean plays, which have been used in various forms, are the response to the 'one modern world' in three ways: big busts, epics and modernization of tradition. This Korean modern drama has since established the cornerstone for the emergence of many modern dramas. The personal understanding of Korean drama through modernism will be a short-term way of organizing the change in Korean theaters from the first quarter to the present.
