The Daehan Maeil Sinbo(the Sinbo) was established newspapers by UK journalist Ernest Thomas Bethell in 1904. The Sinbo's writing staff like Yang Ki-Tak and Sin Chai-ho created it. The Sinbo was emphasized strenuous efforts of the Korean people. This study focuses on the comment poetry on current topics of economy in the Sinbo(the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa). I consider it as a message in the language activities. Having selected 224 the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa works from the comment poetry on current topics in the Sinbo. I considered microeconomics and macroeconomics phenomenon, because the Sinbo's Economy Gasa reflected all sorts of economy of the Korean Empire.
Chapter 2 deals with background of the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa through literary context and Socio-cultural context. The Sinbo’s Economy Gasa succeed pulse Economy Gasa which was created in the late of Chosun Dynasty. As Chosun society was getting complex, themes of Gasa was expanded into economy. Economy Gasa interconnected with Didactic Gasa by didactic mode, thus it delivered an economic action to the readers. The Sinbo’s Economy Gasa appeared in this literary atmosphere. It was carried on the newspapers and was aimed at multi-people.
Meanwhile, the prose editorial and the comment poetry on current topics were reported in the Sinbo. The prose editorial formed economy discourse which were composited economic problems and crisis passing. And the prose editorial transformed into the comment poetry on current topics by adding poetic meter. The Sinbo’s Economy Gasa delivers economy discourse to public reader, thus it helped public reader to change of thought.
Chapter 3 explores economic circumstance described in the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa. As a result of analysis, firstly, from the production aspects, factors of production are vulnerable by the economic situations in and outside the country. Secondly, Antinational Actor like Korean Empire corrupt officials, Japanese Imperialism, the Japanese people, and Ilchinhoe cause of income inequality. Thirdly, there are cautious about luxury, households debt and real estate auction. Fourthly, there is inequality exchange in an international market. In order to overcome this problem, the Korean people are producing industrial goods in the workshop. Fifthly, Japanese Imperialism seizes Korean Public Financial Management and screwed introduction of loan out of the Korean Empire government. Thus, I revealed that the lives of our ancestors existed varied aspects in socio-economical settings in Japanese Residency-General period.
Chapter 4 examines thematic consciousnesses of the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa for grasping the Sinbo's writing staff understood economic condition and semantic structure of the text. Thematic consciousnesses of it are based on Chapter 3, because writing staff’s consciousnesses are intervening between economic facts and meanings to economic facts. And then, thematic consciousnesses of it are drawn 'brotherhood', 'consciousness of crisis', 'economical self-reliance' and 'will of protecting national sovereignty.' Thus, I found that humanism is at the base of thematic consciousness of the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa, and it has inherent critical consciousness against the Korean Empire corrupt officials and Japanese Imperialism.
Chapter 5 reveals values of the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa in the history of Korean Literature. Firstly, the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa succeed pulse the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa which was created in the late of Chosun Dynasty.

Thirdly, economic realities reproduced the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa had reality and reality and reliability, so I noticed that the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa gained sympathy from a number of readers.

Fifthly, the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa used a lot of examples to deliver rules of economic live, thus it as a guideline which delivers economic development ways accomplished the role. Sixthly, the Sinbo’s Economy Gasa that exists today is an invaluable cultural inheritance, because it pass down about lessons and wisdom which future generations can handle the logic of power in the international society.
