McCann aram (his nom de plume) Yi Pyŏnggi, born in 1891, was K intensely involved in the study of Korean literature in Chinese, and then the Korean vernacular. He worked with a circle of literati in the Korean Language Society, and in 1942 was one of the members of that group to be arrested and imprisoned by the Japanese authorities. Karam was imprisoned for one year. When his sentence was suspended and he was released in September of 1943, he returned to the countryside to work on the family farm and to study. In 1946 he worked as an editor for the occupation military government, and at Seoul National University’s College of Liberal Arts teaching Korean literature. Karam wrote hundreds of sijo poems and published several articles and newspaper columns about the practice.
