In an effort to systematically inquire into the historical transformation aspects of 'Chieftain Shape Literature' appearing in lyric poetry in North Korea, this writer has read the relevant poetic works and critiques. As a result, this write was able to draw the frame of period division and core contents relevant to respective period. (1) Establishing the Status of a Chieftain(1966-1972): In this period, a band of communists intensively embodied Kim, Il-seong's revolutionary family by putting emphasis on the revolutionary spirit of Kim, Hyeong-jik and Kang, Ban-seok who were parents of Kim, Il-seong. It means they used the way of highlighting Kim, Il-seong's greatness through the revolutionary blood of the family line. From the viewpoint of literature history, there arose a maximization in distance between partisanship and partisan's blind loyalty, and original partisanship became ossified into partisan's blind loyalty called "the Kim, Il-seong's Party." (2) Dualization of Main Agents of Revolution(1973-1977): During this period, they attempted at keeping a distance between 'Juche Idea' and Kim, Il-seong. As a result, there arose the trend for raising the status of a chieftain by embodying his humanity and another trend for putting stress on Kim, Jeong-il's revolutionary family line and inheritability of the revolution at the same time. From the viewpoint of literature history, the partisan's blind loyalty was splitted into two; the loyalty to Kim, Il-seong and another toward Kim, Jeong-il. (3) Forming the "Generation' of Revolution(1978-1985): During this period, they proceeded with the operation demanding the loyalty toward Kim, Jeong-il while idolizing Kim, Jeong-il as a consummator of a 'Juche' feat. This was an attempt to consolidate Kim, Jeong-il's status in the arena of realistic politics. From the viewpoint of literature history, there was formed the logic that the shift in generation from Kim, Il-seong to Kim, Jeong-il was the law of Nature. Through this process, Kim, Jeong-il began to emerge as a realistic alternative to closing the distance between partisanship and partisan's blind loyalty, and between ideology and substance. (4) Setting up a Successor of Revolution: During this period, a gang of followers of Kim, Jeong-il asserted emphatically that the history of anti-Japanese revolution was being linked to the history of guidance by putting emphasis on the fact that it was no other than Kim, Jeong-il who revived the tradition of anti-Japanese revolution anew and carried on this tradition today. Accordingly, they emphasized that the great work of 'Juche Revolution' is being consummated from father to son by Kim, Jeong-il by highlighting Kim, Jeong-il's idea theory activity, revolutionary achievement, communistic virtue, and wise guidance, etc. From the viewpoint of literature history, Kim, Jeong-il was openly put up as a new main agent who could combine the partisanship and partisan's blind loyalty. (5) Consummating Revolutionary "Great Monolithic Society"(1989-1995): This period showed that the position of Kim, Il-seong was replaced by Kim, Jeong-il and the revolutionary history of the Kim, Il-seong era would take a new leap into a new phase in the period of Kim, Jeong-il. Subsequently, there appeared the aspect of maximizing the greatness of Kim, Jeong-il. From the viewpoint of literature history, finalized was the shift in generation of the main agent of the revolution from Kim, Il-seong to Kim, Jeong-il. By this, the correlation between partisanship and partisan blind loyalty forewarned a new future as they formed another circulation ring. Resultantly, this writer, through the historical transformation aspects of the north Korean "Chieftain Shape Literature", tried to confirm what agonies and conflict the persons of literary arts in NK have gone through between their own ideological aim and desires for realistic power, and how they have played a variation of mutually disparate life.
