Abstract

Shinchoonshi is the longest-maintained Coterie in the 60s. Moreover, it is the Coterie founded by poets who debuted through writing contests, Shinchunmoonye by newspapers, and it reflected the vivid flow and change of the literacy geography of Korea in the 60s. Most of all, the Coterie is the evidence of the Hangeul Generation's emergence and the concealed utterance of Hangeul Consciousness visualized on it. The compilation of Shinchoonshi 13th transformed into horizontal writing and the exclusive use of Hangeul. Shin Se-Hun, the new editor and Hangeul Generation, led the Coterie under the critical acceptance of the national policy of the exclusive use of Hangeul. It is pragmatism. Just as the invention of Hangeul aimed to solve the difficulties arising from the difference between sounds and letters and to share knowledge based on Hangeul, Shinchoonshi also chose to experience the aesthetics through Hangeul. Finally, this study contradicts the research so far that Hangeul Consciousness germinated only in the literacy magazine, Ppurigipeunnamu (뿌리깊은나무) in 1976. In addition, the strategic choice of horizontal writing and the exclusive use of Hangeul was the symbolic change of the zeitgeist in the 60s literacy, confirming that Shinchoonshi was seeking a new literary subject against the current literacy cycles.
