From the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that there are 17 inner conflicts experienced by the character So Won.

The basic needs that are not met by the character So Won mostly occur due to circumstances and bad events that have befallen him. This bad event causes the main character's inner conflict to arise. So that their basic needs are not met. This research is expected to be useful as a scientific treasure of inner conflict using a literary psychology approach.
