			Starting with "When Cheongpodo was ripening in July, my hometown," Lee Yuk-sa's "cheongpodo" is a poem that is more imprinted with a sentence in the passage that I suffered from studying for entrance exams while underlining red. Next to the fingerprints were probably words such as Japanese colonial era, independence, and hope, and how many words could be imagined in the head of Yi Yuk-sa, who wrote a poem with a character named Yi Yuk-sa?



Standing in the middle of a protesting poet or independence fighter against Japan who sang a metaphor, Lee Yuk-sa begins by representing and comforting "who" who must thoroughly compromise and silence the fearful reality. The reason why many people constantly talk about Lee's death may be that he wanted to say it hopefully and futuristic rather than talking about despair and pain, and in his words and actions, he is singing the ideal and dreamlike utopia that we all want beyond the independence of his actions.

For this reason, the exhibition is not intended to honor and praise Lee Yuk-sa, but to start with a heart that truly dreams and likes him.
