Key Points

This research aims to explore the integration of ethical norms within the poetic structure and language of Yi Geun-ok's works.
Focused on 172 poems from Heulwa's collection, categorizing themes.
Analyzed the series 'Hwaryudong Sipyeong' for its formal and linguistic characteristics.
Introduced concepts of static beauty and purity beauty to explain the formal features.
The analysis revealed that Yi Geun-ok's poems maintain a rhythm of ethical life through formal choices rather than direct moral statements.
Two key aesthetic concepts were presented: static beauty delays conclusive meaning, allowing ongoing reflection, and pure beauty moderates sensory overload in imagery.
This work proposes understanding Yi Geun-ok's poetry as a structured practice of aesthetic principles rather than solely ideological narratives.

Analyzes how ritual practices are embedded in the poetic forms of Yi Geun-ok, highlighting a new interpretive lens.
