1953년 6월 30일 『한하운(韓何雲詩抄)』재판이 출간되자, ?민족적 미움을 주자－적기가(赤旗歌) 『한하운시초』와 「그 배후자?(이정선)라는 글이 발표되었다. 이 글은 시집 『한하운시초』가 공산주의 선전 선동의 기제이고, 작가 한하운은 아바타에 불과하고 이병철이 배후 조종하고 있다고 주장하였다. 이런 기사가 여론을 증폭시켜 치안국, 검찰청, 국회까지 개입하게 되고, 이 사건은 휴전 직후 남한 문학장에 반공 냉전프레임을 조성하고 문단이 재편성되는 사태를 초래했다. 본고는『한하운시초』 초판(1949년 5월 발행)을 편집하고 발행을 주선한 시인 이병철을 중심에 놓고 ‘한하운 시집 사건’을 추적해 보았다. 해방기 전위시인 이병철은, 1948년 8월 남한단독정부 수립과 그해 12월 국가보안법 공포 이후 법의 바깥에서 지하활동을 전개하며 사회적 타자로 내몰리고 마침내 수배를 받게 되었다. ‘전위시인’ 이병철이 ‘문둥이 시인’ 한하운을 발견하고, 문둥이와 빨갱이의 공통의 운명을 통해 자기를 재발견하는 과정을 살펴보았다.
한국전쟁 때 이병철은 월북하였다. 휴전(1953년 7월 27일) 직전에『한하운시초』재판이 출간되자, 남한에서는 이병철이 ‘문화빨치산’으로 침투했다는 소동이 벌어졌다. 이에 문단은 공포에 떨고 분열하고 상호고발하고 증오하는 데까지 나갔다. 이 사건은 남한의 문학장이 반공주의로 재편성되는 계기가 되었다.

초록 (Abstract)

When the 2nd edition of Selection of Han Ha-Woon’s poems appeared, an article, “Pour National Hatred upon Han Ha-Woon’s Songs of Enemies’ Flag and the Wirepuller” was published. The article suggested that Selection of Han Ha-Woon’s poems was only a means of propaganda and instigation of communists and Lee Byung-Chul was the worker behind the scenes, Han being nothing but an abata. The negative public opinion amplified by the article caused National Police, Prosecutors Office and National Assembly to get involved. So, directly after the Korean Armistice, the literary circles of South Korea saw the anti-communism frame of the cold war period being built up and a great reshuffle occurring inside.
The aim of this paper is to examine the case of Han Ha-Woon’s Anthology. Its main focus was put on Lee Byung-Chul who was in charge of the editorial work and publication of the 1st edition of Selection of Han Ha-Woon’s poems. Lee Byung-Chul was an avant-garde poet and communist in the period of Korean Liberation. He began the underground anti- government activities when the separate single government was built in South Korea in August, 1948 and the national security law was proclaimed in December. At last he became the one wanted by the Police and driven to one of the social others. The paper also made a survey of the process of Lee’s self-rediscovery through his encounter with a leper poet, Han Ha-Woon. Lee found a common destiny between a leper and a communist as social outsiders.
During the Korean War, Lee Byung-Chul went over to North Korea. Beacuse the 2nd edition of Selection of Han Ha-Woon’s poems appeared just before the armistice(July 27. 1953), the rumor that Lee sneaked into South Korea as a cultural guerrilla for communism aroused a disturbance.
The literary circles of South Korea, getting frightened and divided, went so far as to mutual complaints and bitter hatred among literary men. The case caused the literary field of South Korea restructured under the principle of anti-communism.
