Kim Hwan-tae Literary Museum & Choe Buk Art Museum

The Kim Hwan-tae Literature Museum displays approximately 40 relics, including photographs and books of Kim Hwan-tae during his lifetime. Kim Hwan-tae was a literary critic who established the theoretical system of pure literature during the dark ages of Japanese colonial rule and was very active in the 1930s and 1940s. He was the pioneer who launched the seeds of pure literature in a literary world rigid with politics and ideology through criticism of trend literature and classism. The task that Kim Hwan-tae took on at the time was centered on rejecting the trend literature as a standard-bearer of pure literature, who loudly shouted against the trend literature being subjugated to politics. At the same time, although he could not directly express it at the end of the Japanese colonial rule at the time, he predicted that our literature would be transformed into a pro-Japanese literature in the future and served as a support to protect the purity of literature. In addition, the literary legacy he left behind became the foundation for establishing today's national literature.
