Life

In 1912, Baek Si-bak and Lee Bong-woo were born in Jeongju-gun, Pyeonganbuk-do. His father, Baek Si-bak, was renamed Yongsam and later changed his name to Baek Yeong-ok. Baek Yeong-ok was born in 1882, but it is presumed to have been born in 1875, given the practice of delaying the registration of his family registry for several years and later the personal information of Baekseok. Although his father Baek Yeong-ok, who worked as a photographer, was not well off, he also participated in raising a fund for the construction of Osan High School. Baek Yeong-ok, who gave birth to Baek Seok at the age of 37, valued him. His mother, Lee Bong-woo, was born in 1888, and married from Seoul at the age of 24. Baek Seok's maternal grandfather Lee Yang-sil and his gisaeng-born concubine married Baek Yeong-sam, who is older than him. At that time, it was a common trend for a woman with defects (such as a woman whose mother is her father's concubine) to marry a man who is older than her. However, his mother, Lee Bong-woo, was clean in everything and had excellent cooking skills, so Cho Man-sik, the principal of Osan School, frequently stayed at Baekseok's house. It is said that Cho Man-sik was close to his father Baek Yeong-ok and also knew Bang Eung-mo, who ran the Chosun Ilbo. Later, when Baek Young-ok started boarding houses, the Baekseok family moved to a house in front of Osan School.

After finishing Osan Higher Common School, he graduated from the English Master's Department of Aoyama Gakuin in Japan in 1934. Starting with the publication of the prose "Iseol Earrings" in the Chosun Ilbo on May 16, 1934, he began his official career as a writer and translator. On January 20, 1936, he published 100 books at his own expense in Tongui-dong, Gyeongseong-bu, adding 26 new poems to the seven poems published in the Chosun Ilbo and the Jokgwang. Since then, he has published more than 60 poems in magazines, newspapers, and collections of poems, but it has been confirmed that the poet himself has not published any more poetry books except for "The Dead" until he published "Park Si-bongbang, a floating city in Namshin Province" in the first issue of "Hakpoong" in 1948.

Recently, a researcher claimed that the structure of the book "The Dead" imitated "Goltberg Variations" (BWV 988), composed by J. S. Bach, while "BWV" interpreted the same composer's unaccompanied violin Partita No. 2 (BWV 1004) verbally in terms of structure and content. He further suggests that the borrowing of these musical structures of Baekseok is more likely to be poetic interpretation of Bach's music with sincerity and natural linguistic talent embedded in Baekseok's body under the overall design of Yeongrang Kim Yun-sik, rather than by himself.

Baekseok used regional dialects and old languages, including the Pyeongan-do dialect, and has not been active since 1948. Baekseok announced his work, wandering around the Joseon land (today's North and South Korea) and Manchuria. His poems were based on the communal familiarity of the Korean people, and everywhere in the work contained a sense of loss for the absence of home.

In South Korea, the publication of Baekseok City was banned because he was a poet of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, but since the 1987 lifting of the ban on writers from North Korea, many of Baekseok's works have been actively introduced and evaluated by many researchers. It is said to have pioneered another aspect of modernism in Korea with its unique and distinct self-discipline based on the localist sentiment based on the dialectics and the fading old ones in Pyeongbuk-do.

He died in a cooperative farm around 1964, once known to Korea and Japan, but a recent study found that he died in 1996.
