This paper aims to make clear the interrelationship between spacing words and rhythm of Jeong Ji-yong`s poems in the 1920`s. His poems were composed of peculiar spacing words. It was also very particular thing in the historical context of Korean modern poetry in the 1920`s. This study must have inferred that spacing words related with poetic rhythm. It was the peculiarity of spacing words that focused in chapter two. His poems spaced between an substantive and an expletive. It was the result that gave consideration for poetic rhythm. The ‘Jo(謠)’ among his poems had a formal characteristic of the regular and repetitive in time. Therefore it could be given definition of ‘visualization of song’. On the other hand, his works of free verse or prose poems also have similar spacing words but they were not the regular and repetitive in time. So it could be given definition of ‘visualization of rhythm.’ This peculiar spacing words influenced to his later poems but more or less transformed. It is likely to be considered in contexts of the late 1930`s.
