다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine the genre characteristics of popular folksongs, one of the songs which were widely favored in the early 20th century. The popular folksongs meant folksongs that were sung by professional ballad singers in each region. To determine the genre characteristics of popular folksongs, how the popular folksongs and their words developed was investigated. The findings of this study were summarized into the followings:
Chapter II looked into the background of popular folksong formation in association with the situation of 18th and 19th centuries. And popular-song collections and songs included in record were examined to find out how the popular folksongs developed in the early 20th century.
Because of the effect of urban entertainment culture in the 18th and 19th centuries, the entertainment culture developed actively in the lower class. The popular folksongs were one of the entertainment culture for the lower class, which began to be formed by professional ballad singers who sung each region's native folksongs. 'In the early 20th century, the repertory of the popular folk songs increased more through popular song collections or records. It's found that, owing to such a vigorous spread, the popular folksongs remained one of representative traditional music even in the 1930s, when new folksongs and new popular songs were in full flourish.
Chapter III reviewed what the popular folksongs pursued, by comparing the themes of the popular folksongs' words with Arari which was a representative genre of the existing folksongs. As a result of examining the themes of the popular folksongs' words, it's affirmed that the popular folksongs spread through two different media that had different characteristics, yet their specific genre characteristics remained unchanged, by adapting to social situation and media's change. Besides, the comparison with Arari showed that the popular folksongs were characterized by giving a light pleasure through a popular theme, rather than by being deeply absorbed in a theme.
As seen above, the popular folksongs met the contemporary requirements by extending repertory vigorously, and enlarged playfulness as much as possible in pursuit of common, popular theme that became the entertainment. Those characteristics of the popular folksongs got to create a sort of transmission system, which served as a factor to make the folksongs handed down to the present age.
