'''The Poetic World of Yun Dong-ju'''

Yun Dong-ju (1917-1945) was born as the eldest of seven siblings in Myeongdong Village in Bukgando (North Jiandao), Manchuria. Myeongdong Village was a settlement formed by Koreans who migrated to Bukgando in the late 19th century and was characterized as a community centered on national education and Christian faith. This environment provided an important background that led Yun Dong-ju, from an early age, to reflect on nation, history, and human life.

From childhood, Yun showed a strong interest in literature. He began writing by producing literary magazines with friends, gradually revealing his literary talent. To pursue formal literary studies, he entered Yonhi College (present-day Yonsei University) in 1938. There, he studied the Korean language under linguist Choe Hyeon-bae (1894-1970) and history under historian Son Jin-tae (1900–?), forming a deep awareness of national language and history. He also participated in the publication of the school magazine <i>Literary Friends (Munu)</i>, continuing his literary activities. During this period, many of his major works, including “Self-Portrait,” “One Night I Count the Stars,” and “Prelude,” were written.

In 1942, Yun traveled to Japan to study abroad, enrolling in the Department of English Literature at Rikkyo University in Tokyo, and later that year transferring to Doshisha University in Kyoto. While in Kyoto, he associated with Korean students, including his cousin and lifelong friend Song Mong-gyu (1917-1945), and reflected on the realities of his homeland and the future of the Korean people. These activities drew the attention of the Japanese authorities, and in 1943 Yun was arrested by Japanese police on charges of inciting Korean independence and the preservation of national culture. He was sentenced to two years in prison and imprisoned at Fukuoka Prison. During his imprisonment, his health deteriorated rapidly, and he died on February 16, 1945, just six months before Korea’s liberation.

After liberation, Yun Dong-ju’s friends collected 31 poems that had not been published during his lifetime and issued the poetry collection <i>Sky, Wind, Stars, and Poem</i> in 1948. Later, his younger sister Yun Hye-won (1923-2011) released 85 additional unpublished poems, bringing the total number of his known works to 116. The realities of the Japanese colonial period and the course of his life formed an important background for Yun Dong-ju’s poetic world. His poetry, marked by restrained lyricism, is understood to express the self-reflection and inner anguish of a young intellectual living under colonial rule.

In recognition of his contributions, the Government of the Republic of Korea posthumously awarded Yun Dong-ju the Order of Merit for National Foundation (Independence Medal) in 1990.
