Kim, Kirim’s view point as an onlooker, distinguished in his poetry, could be said to be attributable to the point that he was not able to secure the appropriate distance between outside world visible and his inner world. This situation resulted from his inner world being overwhelmed by his strong desire for modern civilization rather than his physical experience in an actual life. For this reason, most of essential characters appearing on his poems lack individuality. In addition, placing much expectation on rationalism and spirit of science, Kimkirim expressed images of a poem in a scheme of dichotomy on the principle of selection or rejection.
Of course, it is difficult to deny that the spirit of time Kimkirim mentioned had been raised as a way of aesthetic resistance to get over discrepancy of his times. However, he refused the individuality of a poet by overemphasizing the universal time spirit and furthermore, went one
step further to establish the audience of a poemas a passive being to be educated by a poet. Eventually, Kimkirim made apparent his strong desire to incorporate his audience into his own world rather than form common links with the audience through a poem.
