We examined the influence of ‘the Korean children’s book association’(Adoyeon) on Korean children’s literature in this paper. This paper distinguished between the first and second half of 1980’s and the 1990’s and after. It also looked into the history of literary events in the field of children’s literature and the process of making the “the list of recommended books.”
Adoyeon was founded in the 1980s by introducing Korean children’s literature that included ethnic and popular perspectives in the dictatorship regime. And Adoyeon criticized the children’s masses and introduced good books. Since the 1990’s and afer, when children’s book publishing has become active, Adoyeon have expanded our organization by selecting good works.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the activities and the achievements and issues of children’s literature are as follows. First, Positive outcomes were settled in the monopoly movement in the circulation environment focused on the whole collection. A specific example is the movement to inform Korean creative monoppoly fairy tale in the 1980’s and the recommendation of book publications in the 1990’s. Secondly, it was a curriculum for the nation and the people ‘s view, which is our creative fairy tale, and played a great role in shaping the genealogy of realistic fairy tales. The third was to take down low-quality books in the same way as ‘recommendation’ and ‘list’, leading to good book distribution.
The fourth was using the newsletter, which we took charge of children ‘s book reviews and book reviews. And since the 2000’s and after, they have developed civic movements such as book reading and library activities.
However, although the Korean children’s literature was turned into a genealogy and it was shown through the “recommended book list” at a glance, it could not respond sensitively to the social demands to view the works with various changes in the times. This is a negative side. Due to the clarity of realistic assimilation, there is a limit to read the work with uniformity. Specifically, it is left to the researchers to read the works of realist genealogists more deeply and abundantly.
Finally, this paper has limitations on only the part related to Korean children ‘s literature in the various activities of Adoyeon.
