Lee Byeong-gi

 
Yi Byeong-gi (, 1891-1968), pen name Garam, was a Korean independence fighter. He opposed the Japanese colonial rule by promoting the use of the genuine Korean alphabet. He created the journal "Munjang" (Literary Style) where he promoted the modern Korean poetry, but also serialized many classics like Hanjungnok (Feb. 1939-Jan. 1940) and Inhyeon syeongmo minsi deokhaengnok 63 jangbon (1940). As a member of the Korean Language Society, he was jailed in 1942 by the Japanese occupation forces.
After the recovery of Korean Independence, he established the Garam Library in the Seoul National University. He collected and commented massive amounts of Korean literature from the past. Among these gems, and beside Hanjungnok and Inhyeon wanghu jeon, there are "Yolowonyahwagi" and "Chunhyangga".
