On the Yoon Hee-Soon's Eui-byung Ka and Kasa: the Feministic Perspective

Among the works of Yoon Hee-Soon's Eui-byung Ka(EBK) has been studied as the one of the work of the Kasa genre. However the situation that Yoon's EBK was composed and the analysis of the lines of that song show that Y oon's EBK couldn't belong to Kasa Genre. Yoon's EBK has so complicated aspects that differs from the attributes of Kasa. There are no evidences whether Yoon's EBK was sung in western styled melody, and even the evidences chat show the existence of Yoon are not found. This means that Yoon's EBK was born in a rime of transition, so it can nor be classified into Kasa, Chang Ka, or Traditional Folk Songs. The extant studies on Yoon's EBK and Kasa have been focusing on the women's voluntary participation in Eui-byung and the diffusion of the recognition of gender equalitarianism. However it is doubtful whether Yoon's Eui-byung activities could be directly related to women's social participation or Gender Equalitarianism. It is necessary to analysis the Feministic natures of Yoon's works Yoon's Eui-byung Activities was allowed only as a Eui-byung family member, not a social one. Therefore Yoon's activities cannot be interpreted in the context of women's social participation or Gender Equalitarianism. Haejoo Yoon Family Story, Yoon's autobiography, shows no her personal life, but the family affairs. All we can draw from it is that Y oon's life was not based on the Gener Equalitarianim in a modern sense or the women's self-esteems, but on the traditional gender discrimination. In Yoon's 'Housewives Eui-byung Ka,' which appeals to the housewives to participate in the Eui-byung Activities, the role of man and wqmen and the gender discrimination are explicitly shown. Yoon's EBK has not only the Feministic nature bur also the propagandistic one. When she participated in Eui-byung, she instinctively recognized what was really needed and this made her to compose EBK Yoon's EBK was composed primarily to encourage the combat morale, so its lyrics are made of not only the plain words but also the bad ones. The Confucians who participated in Eui-byung used Kasa in Chinese, bur Yoon's was made in plain Korean and melody so it was much easier to sing than the Chinese one. The production, expression, and style of Yoon's EBK was the results of her own senses of realism and the experiences. Yoon's Kasa 'Song of Lamentation' i.s the work that expresses her own awful life and the situation Oiosun met. In thi.s work neither her father-in-law nor her son is appeared. Only Yoon herself is a protagonist and sees the world she meets. As a middle-aged woman Yoon described the world of lyricism through her own self esteemed eyes.
