This study analyzes the cultural transformation process of government gisaengs from 1908 to 1945 through a cultural psychological perspective. To this end, various data such as newspapers and magazines at the time were used to examine the cultural change and adaptation patterns of government gisaengs from the socio-cultural and psychological aspects. John W. Berry's theory of cultural transformation provided the theoretical framework, upon which the changes of government gisaengs were categorized into four categories: assimilation, separation, integration, and marginalization. As a result of the study, in assimilation, separation, and integration, models, actors, singers, calligraphy artists, independence activists, parasitic schools, and gwonbeon trained professional artists to form a positive social identity. On the other hand, in the marginalization, a negative phenomenon of experiencing social exclusion and alienation and leading an unstable life appeared. This study will contribute to expanding the understanding of cultural transformation of traditional artists by revealing how the identity of government gisaengs was reconstructed in a cultural psychological manner amid modern changes.

The purpose of this thesis is to interpret Salpuri-chum from the perspective of Adorno's mimesis and derive its argument from an aesthetic point of view. As a research method, a literature search method was used, and theoretical horizon research was conducted centering on ^『Aesthetic Theory_』 (1984), one of Adorno's books, and research was conducted centering on theses and academic journals related to aesthetic approaches. As a result, the theoretical horizon was derived by classifying firstly the meaning of Adorno mimesis, secondly Salpuri-chum as an aesthetic study, and thirdly Salpuri-chum through Adorno mimesis. This study contains the simple desire of the researcher to further expand the artistic value of Salpuri-chum, explore and analyze it from various perspectives, and inherit the preservation value of cultural and historical importance. And it is hoped that this study will contribute to the knowledge and appreciation of Salpuri-chum in a more developed form.
