The analysis of the complex literary processes that took place in the development of modern Korean literature is of great theoretical importance.

Unlike many other national literatures, Korean literature is characterized by rapid development during its development stage. During the country’s transition from the feudal system to the capitalist system in a relatively short historical period, drastic changes also occurred in literature. This increases the importance of studying Korean literature of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Enlightenment literature occupies an important place in the formation process of modern Korean national prose. Elucidation of the study of the formation and development trends of the literature of the Enlightenment period is becoming urgent. The role of sirhak and kekhwa undon movements in the literature of the Korean Enlightenment period, the formation and development of the Korean Enlightenment literature, and the continuous efforts of the Enlightenmentists of the period to "awaken the people" are reflected in the article.
