The issue of interpreting 17th century sijo has been the most controversial subject in the study of poetry in recent years. This paper aims to comprehend the core of the controversy over 17th century sijo by highlighting the methodological problems that lie at the heart of this controversy, and to offer an outlook and suggest future tasks accordingly. In chapter 2, the progress of the controversy was divided into three areas : the issue of interpreting materialistic pleasure in "Eobusasisa," the issue of the anti-neo-Confucianist and Taoist character of Shin Heum's sijo, and the issues surrounding the category and development of rural sijo. Most up-and-coming scholars have continuously focused on the break and changes in world view in 17th century sijo that are distinctly different from those of 16th century sijo. The criticism that the over-eagerness to analyze the changes in 17th century poetry has led to errors and excessive generalization in the interpretation of other works is becoming more persuasive. In chapter 3, the methodological foundation of this controversy was examined. As a result, it was discovered that the up-and-coming scholars were criticized because, although they professed to follow literary-sociological methodology, in their actual arguments they have adopted a traditional structuralist methodology. In addition, it was pointed out that the criticism of the opinions of the up-and-coming scholars by leading scholars is identical to the hermeneutical scholar's criticism of structuralism. Based on the dscussion above, chapter 4 seeks a way to reconciliate the conflicting methodological premises. In order to explain the antinomy of 17th century sijo, it was judged that a mere careful reading of the intent of the subject is insufficient. The aspects of the clash of world views in 17th century sijo will already be reflected in the language of the work, between neo-Confucianism and anti-neo-Confucianism, or perhaps between medieval and post-medieval, and so it is necessary to raise interest in the linguistic characteristics of these works.
