A study on the characteristics of self-expression themes in the lyrics of singer-songwriter Sun woo jung-a - Focusing on negative emotional expression -
This thesis is a study to derive the characteristics of self-expression themes appearing in the lyrics of the works of Korean female singer-songwriter Sunwoo Jung-a. As a singer-songwriter, he writes and composes himself, so he is not restricted in selecting the subject of his work, and he can freely express his message or values of music. Therefore, in this thesis, the songs included in the self-expression theme that showed the characteristics of singer-songwriter in Sunwoo Jung-ah's works were classified and the lyrics analysis was attempted. First, when the songs that correspond to the self-expression theme are classified, there are a total of 6 songs that correspond to the theme. As a result of analyzing the six selected songs, within the main theme of self-expression, fear, inferiority, competition, desire, and one's own music values were used as sub-themes. Then, as a result of the analysis of lyrics, the number of syllables in the lyrics was regularly arranged to form a rhyme. In addition, direct expressions and negative emotional expressions were expressed in the lyrics through various materials. Through this, it can be seen that the songs that fall under the theme of self-expression are themes derived from Sun woo Jung-a's appearance complex, and a characteristic that differentiates them from the themes mainly used by professional lyricists in existing popular songs was derived.
