When we look at the abstract Korean theatre in a general sense, it takes its source from prehistoric religious ceremonies, as in the history of many nations. In all the traditional theatre shows, dance holds an important place. Talçum is an example of Korean traditional theatre, a mask dance with half-pandomic half-dance, which contains landscape and humor. In addition, there are popular songs of the Pansori genre and the village, which are long-historic folk stories, and games displayed in front of the audience, such as the doll games by artists who walk around the city. All these traditional shows are also the elements that will form the foundation of the theatre. These games have not only attracted and entertained a lot of viewers and have a sensitive feature for the viewers. The current of Modern Theatre in Korea began with the translation of Japanese Theatre games into Korea in the 1910s with Korean students returning to the country during or after their training. In particular in the field of novel, I Goanğ Water theater has also raised the level of the theater culture of the time. When it came into the 1920s, the foundation of modern theater was consolidated, with the weight of social problems, female phenomenon and love themes being processed. The period from the 1930s to the 1940s was a period in which many new theatrical writers emerged and the writers increased their activities by making work on various topics.  This study examined the birth of the Korean Theatre and the stages of the theatrical work of the time.
