There were various terms about imposed on new woman in Korea during the early twentieth century, and those had in common in one aspect, but also didn`t have in common specially in education and fields of work. On one hand, these had in common in terms that they were educated in new education system. On the other hand, they were different from each other, particularly in relation to education level and the types of occupations. This study aims at articulating the differences in various terms of new woman relied on Kratzer(1995)`s understanding of stage-level and individual-level distinction by exploring the magazine Sin yosong. One of the terms is sin yosong that implies two concepts. While one refers to educated women, the other represents women as negative modern subjects who pursue urban, westernized, and capitalized ways of life. Given the ambiguity of sin yosong, it is necessary to grasp the images of sin yosong by locating them within larger social structure, such the colonial state, capitalized, the patriarchal system. In addition, there were other terms of woman including Jigeop yeoseong or nodong yeoseong. During the 1920-30s, women who had jobs were largely divided into three terms according to their class and the types of their occupations. However the meanings of these terms designating female workers gradually changed in different social and historical contexts, and were replaced by a new term over time.
