“삭제”…일제가 ‘붉게 가둔’ 심훈의 시, 사후 90년 고국 품으로

On May 1, 1932, the poem "그날이 오면" (When the Day Comes) by Kim Sŏhn was first published in the magazine "신생." The poem, written directly by Kim Sŏhn himself, was included in his debut poetry collection. However, after his death in 1936, the poem resurfaced in 2021 after 90 years, thanks to the efforts of his descendant, Kim Jae-ho.

The collection, titled "Kim Sŏhn Complete Works: 1919-1932," features original manuscripts, newspaper reprints, and film scenarios, among other materials. The poem's dedication to the struggles of post-independence Korea highlights its significance in Korean literary history.
