다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to examine he life and environment of Atomic-bomb victims in Atomic-Bomb Literature of through Lee Sung-gyo's “Hiroshima Elegy” series. After the defeat, Japan produced a number of works based on the atomic bomb, forming a genre of atomic bomb literature. On the other hand, Korea is the world's second victim of A-bomb, but the literature work related to A-bomb is scarce and the discussion hard find.
Atomic Literature is a literature about the lives of victims and survivors of atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Thus, atomic bomb literature is the literature of sacrifice and damage, and the literature of survival. In this regard, this paper analyzed Lee Sung-gyo's “Hiroshima Elegy” series in terms of mourning, fear, and compassion.
First, “Hiroshima Elegy” is a poem of mourning for the souls of victims victimized by the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The poet portrays the historical scene of the atomic bombing as a space of mourning. In addition, Korean A-bomb victims of Hiroshima have lived in discrimination. The poet recognized that Japan established a Peace Memorial Park, held a Peace Olympics, a Peace Memorial, etc., but it was Japan's peace and peace only for the Japanese. Thus our Koreans are waiting for true peace. In hope of true world peace, the poet mourns the souls of the dead.
Second, Lee Sung-gyo poets are feared by the anti-human weapon called the atomic bomb, and the fear embodies the life of the bomb victims who live with trauma. The poet likens the trauma of terror to a “sick tree”. And the poet embodies the nuclear fear of radioactive material covering the city, as if the city was destroyed by a fire and a storm, and then a black rain rains on the burning city. The image of nuclear horror is shaped by money protection law, auditory image, etc. And the poet portrayed the horror of the atomic bomb mainly as black rain or bull rain. The poet expects the sorrowful and sad wounds of our brethren who have endured the scars of that memory, the prophets of true peace that will touch their traumas.
Third, the Korean and Japanese A-bomb victims share the same experience of radiation exposure, their physical damage, and the severe pains that are imprinted in their senses. However, the Korean bomb victim who lived in Hiroshima had to go beyond the double high and endure the triple highs of discrimination and coldness received by the Japanese. Lee Sung-gyo's “Hiroshima Elegy” sings with compassion the lives of our Koreans who have endured the triple pain of physical pain, mental wounds, discrimination and coldness. And they unite their lives with feelings of compassion. Moreover, the fact that their sorrowful life, anxiety and misgiving are endless and enduring, the poet hopes that the things in their lives will be released for a moment.
We must create a world without nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants. It is a record of a borderless environment that asks us to create such a world.
