Singyonghyangpa

Singyonghyangpa

 

(New Direction School), a trend in Korean democratic literature during the 1920’s. Representatives of the school included the young writers Na To-hyang, Cho Myong-hi, Choe So-hae, Yi Ki-yong, and Yi Ik-sang, who depicted the lower strata of Korean society. Their realistic writings, despite some elements of excessive dramatization, were vividly patriotic and public-spirited. Singyonghyangpa has often been called a prologue to Korean proletarian literature.
