Ever since making his debut with 「패배자의 소원(A Hope Of A Loser)」(1935) in the Journal『Shinin-munhak』, Lee Yong-ak worte a lot of poem and remains really active in his creative work. His works on the whole poeticized the kernel situation of his times through the impoverished conditions of rural communities under coercive Japanese imperial rule and the consequent people`s nomadism This paper aims to consider the "Road" motif as the coherent relation and the literary convention in Lee Yong-ak`s poetic system. Cnsidering this problem, this paper seek the meaning of Road by literary immanent methods, and search of symbolism and paths in the Road. The Road is a search for self-identity by problematic character as poetic speaker, and for self-consciousness in a world degraded. This symbolism develops two paths in Lee Yong-ak`s poetry, one path to the South, another to the north. It is homology between Lee Yong-ak`s life and the path of Road in his poetry. Also the meaning of are changed in his historical environment.
