Youth anxiety and self-awareness
The future of youth is the future of Korea, and we live in an era where the thoughts of youth are becoming more important. I would like to look at how the young poet Hwang In-chan recognizes and represents the daily life of modern people in his poetry, and add a new poetic experience that I hope to convey to all of us living in the contemporary world as we face the approaching unknown world together. First, the poetic consciousness shown by poet Hwang In-chan actively intervenes in relationships with objects. Rather than avoiding the unknown and chaotic modern society with vague fear and inevitable sadness, let us face reality with a cool-headed gaze. His poetry is a self-reflective confession that shows that there is no hope or escape when one is forced to settle for the existing framework, and is also an act of empathizing with the pain of wandering young people. Second, the poet talks about hope in the self-consciousness of the anxious and dim beings of modern people living toward an unknown world. In other words, by depicting everyday life that seems ordinary but not ordinary in a calm tone, it provides the courage to pioneer your own world and the poetic experience of being able to embrace and look at a new world by escaping from the existing ordinary daily life. It shows hope. The image presented by young poet Hwang In-chan suggests that our future is not dark at all. We strive to build relationships with marginalized people living in uncertain times, sympathize with their pain, and send messages of comfort.
