Abstract

This article studied critical statements about the others of Korean modern literature in Choi, In-hun’ literature. First, those are related to the groping for the manner of response to the reality as a author and for writing strategy. Second, the peculiarities, which are the central theme of his speculation, has quite simple and narrow meaning-evident and direct criticism toward unforgivable ruling power and its political governance. Third, a hypothesis to support his notion about the peculiarities of literature is a hypothesis of exile. According to this hypothesis, it is impossible to acquire desirable political speculation of literature in his country. Forth, by encountering the others like Park, Tae-won and Lee, Tae-jun, Choi, In-hun‘s literary self was able to reach to the notion that refraction could be a form of resistancethat coincides with its contents. Fifth, and finally, by encountering the others of Japanese colonial period, Choi, In-hun‘s literary self was able to advance to a new stage. However, broader and deeper speculation about the relation between the politics and the literature was blocked by himself.
