Sowol's newly appeared “Streets of Seoul” is a problem work that has given many suggestions to Sowol and our current affairs. It is because it shows an individual's walk through the modern times exceptionally, and foresaw the path of modernism, one of the big topics of the podium. As pointed out, Sowol's early work, The Streets of Seoul, provides a basis that can be explained in one aspect of modernity. That is the image of tflaneur. The promenade is a motif and image that represents the distance between the self and the world that roams the city. The appearance of a huge city or an anonymous public deviates the harmony between the self and the world, and turns the landscape that enters the artist's sight into an inexplicable monster. The emergence of the flaneur also comes from this background of the city, which requires critical thinking to return the alienated self from the world to a healthy state. This self-conscious person is a flaneur. The walk in Sowol's “Streets of Seoul” or “Seoul Night” was exactly the same as the flaneur.
