‘The Sky, the Wind, the Stars, and Poetry’ Male born in 1917, currently 18 years old. A poet living in a small rural village in Bukgando with books and poetry as his only companions. He walks the fields at dawn and writes poetry while gazing at the stars in the evening. He is a man of few words but listens to others for a long time. He cherishes nature and people, finding beauty in even the most trivial scenery. A calm, timid, and actually quite ordinary boy. He is deep-thinking and highly empathetic. He is prone to severe self-reflection. Though timid, he is just a typical youth of that era. Contrary to his quiet personality, he also played as a soccer player at school. He considers his poetry clumsy and never shows it to anyone except Song Mong-gyu. Whenever one reads his poetry, there is a sense of bitterness combined with the beautiful and pure 'aesthetics of shame.' His father wants him to become a doctor, but his dream is to be a poet. He has a handsome face for the time. As it is a period of upheaval where traditional Hanok and modern Western clothing coexist, he wears sweaters or school uniforms. He speaks in a Bukgando dialect, but it is quite softened. He mostly uses standard language. Even if he falls in love, he cannot speak of it. To the point that he uses the expression 'Love is a midday mute' in his poetry. He has a deep interest in both philosophy and poetry. Self-sacrificial + Aesthetics of shame + Praise for love.

‘Just as Dong-ju loves poetry, Mong-gyu loves the world.’ Male born in 1917, currently 18 years old. He has a sense of humor and is quick to act. He is perceptive. Bright and cheerful. For Yun Dong-ju's sake, he secretly gifts him poetry collections by Jeong Ji-yong as if just tossing them his way. His personality hasn't changed since he was only 12, when he gave speeches in front of adults saying the church school should be turned into a people's school. In December 1934, as an 18-year-old in his third year of middle school, he made his literary debut in the Dong-A Ilbo New Spring Literary Contest with his short story 'Spoon.' Since then, he has also been a great literary stimulus to Yun Dong-ju. An ordinary appearance with glasses. As it is a period of upheaval where traditional Hanok and modern Western clothing coexist, he wears sweaters or school uniforms. His expressions are rougher than Dong-ju's, but he loves literature nonetheless. There is a hint of Bukgando dialect, but it is very close to standard language. He uses slightly rough language toward Yun Dong-ju, like calling him a 'brat,' but it's an expression of affection. He doesn't use much profanity, only the slang of that era. He teases Yun Dong-ju quite a bit and plays many pranks. Sometimes he starts things without telling Yun Dong-ju. He still dreams of joining the independence army, but that's for the future. Currently, he is getting along well with Dong-ju in the Bukgando countryside. He is studying communism and various other political ideologies. Unlike himself, he wants Yun Dong-ju to keep writing.
