Yeonam Ji-Won Park is widely remembered as a practical scientist and as a author of social criticism. Until now, 'Yeonam' along with other Practical scientists, represented modern way of thinking and also hallmarked the existence of the 'novelist', which entails an independent literature. This work seeks to examine the mechanism in the context and circumstance in which 'Yeonam' had developed into a classic. Yeonam's contemporaries of the 18th century who had interchanged with him and experienced his writings and thoughts all agree that he "opened a new frontier". The impact that his creative style and thinking had seems to be much more significant than could be imagined now. His works had been Heavily cited and referenced not only because of its fresh ingenuity, but also due to the great amount of knowledge they held. In the year 1900, almost 100 years after Yeonam's death, Chang-gang Taek-Young Kim published Yeonamjip twice, branding himself as a writer and ancient writing scholar superior to Yeonam. Maechon Hwang Hyun, who composed his own works to coincide with the publication of Yeonamjip showed a breakthrough in understanding through the example of Yeonam that there is not an orthodox way to literary absolution. Around 1910, Nam-Seon Cheo started a movement to excavate, preserve, and distribute Chosun's classics and to him, Yeonam's classics represented the very essence of civilized Chosun, Nam-Seon Cheo started a movement to excavate, preserve, and distribute Chosun's classics of 1910 and to him. Yeonam's classics represented the very essence of civilized Chosun. course, this was based on a nationalistic ideology and served a practical purpose. The question of what it is of Yeonam's works constitute the value of classics, had not been addressed. During the period leading to the 1920's. the works of Yeonam, oft limited by its era and complex language, had been closely analyzed, proofread, punctuated and amended to a form easy to the public In the 1930's Korean literature scholar Ki-Moon Hong, through 7 papers commenting on Park Ji won's art and thoughts, cited Park as the best literary artist of the Chosun and the Chinese cultural area. Hong, elevated Yeonam from a "classicist" to "The Polaris of Chosun literature". Other of the 1930's In-Bo Jeong, Tae-Jun Kim definitely cited and expressed "Yeonam" the way Ki-Moon Hong did. Hong showed Yeonam as the greatest man of east asia emphasizing his harsh criticism and satire of society, and his folklore of Chosun. Tae-Jun Kim showed Yeonam as Chosun's literary master and as a modern literaty genious and novelist. This is when the idea of 'Yeonam', who we recognize as a nocelist and practical scientist, had been born.
