The aim of this paper is to look into the characteristics and its value of Jo Uin(曺友仁)'s Jadosa(自悼詞). I compared Jadosa with other Yeongungasa(戀君歌辭) works for this purposes in the sides of aspect of Yeongunuisik(戀君意識) and emotionalism. Therefore Jadosa is equipped with space setting called the heavenly world and the earthly world, and has characteristics that a speaker of the earthly world misses a lover of the heavenly world. Also, Jadosa is similar to Samiingok(思美人曲) and Sokmiingok(續美人曲) of Jeong Cheol(鄭澈) because the former borrowed a few phrases and motifs from the latter. However, if I look into Jadosa in greater detail in the sides of emotion or attitude of a speaker, the speaker of Jadosa shows a reproachful attitude Unlike works of Jeong Cheol. And the speaker of Jadosa urges the lover to be aware of his illusion. Finally these differences occur as a political standing and a relation with the king is different in every writer. Accordingly This paper is very worthwhile through comparison of Jadosa and other Yeongungasa works given that I reviewed characteristics and a meaning of Jadosa.
