Modern Korean poet Park Doo-jin was closely connected with poet Jeong Ji-yong, the most famous modernist in Korea before 1945. He was influenced by Jeong’s poetry. In this paper I have discussed Park Doo-jin upon comparison with Jeong Ji-yong. It can be summarized as follows; First, in the year 1940 Park has passed the three time contest system(3회 추천제도) which was enforced in the literary magizine Moon-jang, on the recommendation of Jeong, Second, the recommended poet Park worked as a member of the editorial staff in the publication of Jeong’s collection of poems Ji-Yong-Si-Seon in 1946. Third, most of all, Park‘s nature poetry(자연시) resembled Jeong’s landscape poetry(산수시), but Park has overcome the lack of thoughts in Jeong’s poetry in the end. It was Park’s first anthology Hae, the Sun.
