This study reviews the meaning of finding the local with regard to the development of the modernization and the urbanization of the Chosun under Japanese occupation at 1930's, and the meaning of harmonizing modern techniques and local emotions appeared in Baek Seok's poetry. In the late 19th century, Chosun began to be modernized by the introduction of new system and culture, and then modernized firmly in the period of Japanese occupation. Especially in the 1930's, the appearance of Seoul was similar to that of a modern city. At the same time, poor people in modern cities and environmental problems arose due to the increase of population, the industrialization, the economic growth and the introduction of new facilities such as department stores, cars, railways and the modern culture. In this way the modernization provided physical foundation on which the modern recognition system could be possible while the modernization caused an ambivalence like envy-hostility, positiveness-negativeness. Urbanizing symptoms as above contributed to the formation of modern literature. In case of Jeong Ji-Yong, he encountered 'modern things' during his stay in Japan as a student and described a hometown as a space which saves himself from the shock of modern cultures. The modernization and the urbanization of the Chosun influenced also Baek Seok's life and was described as the breakup of farming communities and wandering spirits. The local is different from a hometown and the concept of 'local' had been found after the modern time. The local means a hometown which keeps values that the modernization damaged and it can be said that the local is not a space 'to be remembered' but 'to be imagined'. Baek Seok recreated peaceful and affluent spaces which have no pain of life and sorrows. And this is an aesthetic modernity, meaning thorough denial of harsh reality under the Japanese occupation. Baek Seok used native languages intensionally to describe a native Life-world efficiently. At the time the modern culture and the urbanization began to settle, Baek Seok succeeded the defamiliarization by describing a native Life-world and using native languages. And this is similar to the modernist of the late 1930's, who used defamiliarization by describing images of modern cities and using foreign languages. The modernist at that time were focused only on pictorial characteristics and images of modern cities. But Baek Seok made his own poetry unique by combining specific Life-world and imagism. Jeong Ji-Yong, Kim Ki-Rim and Kim Gwang-Gyun who led imagism poetry by mainly using seeing images. On the other hand Baek Seok used various images such as smell image, taste image, hearing image and touching image. It seems that locality and modernity is not compatible at first appearance. But in this study, the coexistence of the locality and the modernity was found in Baek Seok's poetry because the local is a concept which is subject to modernization, the locality in Baek Seok's poetry was combined with modern techniques such as imagism and defamiliarization and Baek Seok had already a view of modern people. Baek Seok was influenced by imagism but he didn't follow imagism and made his own poetry unique by harmonizing traditional values such as native languages and a local Life-world and modern techniques.
